    To view details of a bill in the Bill Inquiry program, select the bill and click View Selected Bill.

    The program does either of the following:
  • If the Allocate Payments to Individual Bills checkbox is selected in the Payment Plan Settings program, which directs the process to post payments to the individual bills associated with the payment plan, the program displays a message when plan creation is complete. When you click OK to close the message, the program creates the payment plan and the bill, updates the value in the Bill Number box with the number of the new bill, and changes the status of the payment plan to Active.
  • If the Transfer Bill GL Balances to Payment Plan GL Balances checkbox is selected in the Payment Plan Settings program, which directs the payment plan process to transfer general ledger balances on bills to the payment plan general ledger balances, the program displays the Process Payment Plan screen, which you must complete to create the payment plan and bill. Once processing is complete, the program updates the value in the Bill Number box with the number of the new bill, and changes the status of the payment plan to Active.
