Bill-to Customer No. Field, Sales Header Table

Specifies the customer to whom you will send the sales invoice when this customer is different from the sell-to customer. By default, the name and address of the sell-to customer is entered in the Bill-to Customer No. field.

Important

All sales documents contain two customer numbers, one (the sell-to customer number) indicating which customer you will ship the items to, and another (the bill-to customer number) indicating which customer you will send the invoice to.

If the Bill-to Customer No. field on the customer card contains a different customer number, then the bill-to customer number is retrieved from that field. All customer-related information regarding invoicing, discounts, statistics, dimensions, and so on, will refer to the customer who receives the invoice, not the customer who receives the items.

If a primary contact is attached to the bill-to customer that you select in this field, then the contents of the Primary Contact No. field on that customer card is copied to the Bill-to Contact No. field on the sales document.
