In Spain it is possible to agree with small vendors that have difficulties to create their own invoices that we (their Client) be the one who creates them on their behalf after having reached the corresponding agreement.

This is called "third party billing" and involves the following needs:

- Identify the vendor records that are subject to this billing mechanism

- Be able to assign External Numbering Series, unique and specific in each vendor for both Invoices and Credit Memos

- Check that in these Series there are no jumps in the numbering and integrity is maintained with the "Document Date" (not the "Posting Date").

- Make available to those Vendors a simple BC Web Access where they can select the Purchase Shipping Lines they wish to bill.

- Have Billing Templates for Recurring Invoices not based on the previous registration of a Purchase Shipping.

- Have a Batch Registration process to be able to generate all those Invoices in an agile way.

- Have printing formats for the Invoice and Purchase Payment "by third parties" adjusted to what the legislation requires (footnotes, etc.)

- Make available to those Vendors a simple BC Web Access where they themselves can access the List of their Invoices and Credit Memos to download them in PDF, CSV, XML, JSON or Excel format... They should know the status of every Invoice too (Pending Aproval, Will Be Payed on what Date, Payed, etc) and see some "special" comments we (the customer) write to them in any document....

- The access of these Vendors to their own invoices should not have new costs of Licensing users of BC for anyone.
