Use

Bank bills are issued by the payment program. They are drawn up as soon as possible after invoice. If you wish, you can have the payment program clear the invoices paid with the bill of exchange or first create a noted item. See topic Bill of Exchange Payment Requests: Special Features In the customer account, a note is made in the noted items that a bill of exchange was issued. The actual posting is only made if the amount was credited to the bank account.

If the payment program has already cleared the invoices, it notes the bill of exchange document number in the invoice line items. This enables you to establish with which bills of exchange the invoices were cleared. If a bill of exchange is not honored you can cancel the payment by bill of exchange and post a new receivable for every corresponding invoice to your customer.
