Third Party Billing

opentaps supports billing, all invoices from a store to a third party, such as might be the case with telecommunications or healthcare industries. To configure this, set the products store's "bill to third-party" to the party ID which should be invoiced and add Bill Third Party ("EXT_BILL_3RDPTY") as a payment method for the store. When the order is created, set the payment method for the order to "Bill Third Party".

Then, when sales invoices for this order are created, they will be automatically paid with method "billed to third-party", and invoice amount will be added to an open invoice to the third party. When you look at the accounts receivable balances, there will be no balance outstanding for the original customers, and the balance will be transferred to the third-party.
