Retroactive Billing in Order Management

Overview
Retroactive Billing allows you to change billing amounts retroactively in the event of a price
renegotiation. Retroactive Billing is a business process in some industries, whereby a customer
requests changes to the amounts charged on already invoiced orders and receives credits or
additional invoices. Order Management provides a query to identify order lines that have previously
been invoiced that may be subject to such retrobilling, a simple approval mechanism, and then the
automatic generation of credit memos (and occasionally invoices).

Setups

Setups

the invoices using the reason code

b) Query with the following parameter
Type: CREDIT_MEMO_REASON
c) Define the new credit memo reason code

Transaction type code: ORDER
c) No credit checking rule is to be enabled for the Retrobill order type

3) Order Management System Parameters

4) Assign Retrobilling organiser menu

Add the Retrobilling Organizer menu item to the responsibilities that will do Retrobilling.
This menu item is seeded, but is not active for any responsibility until you assign it. If you
have installed Oracle Release Management, this menu item is seeded as granted, so you do
not need to perform this step.
