Self-Billing

This guide goes through the self-billing process from Netvisor's perspective. Self-billing is a process where the buyer creates an invoice on behalf of the seller. Netvisor does not directly support self-billing, but the process can be carried out with the following instructions, which explain how to establish the seller as a vendor and how to create, review, and pay invoices. 

You can carry out self-billing in Netvisor as follows:

1. Establish the seller as a vendor in Accounts payable.
   • In Netvisor, select Accounts payable > Vendors > Create new vendor.
   • Establish the seller as a vendor according to the instructions. Instructions for creating a vendor can be found here.
2. Create an invoice for the vendor (seller) and have it reviewed by the seller according to laws and regulations.
   • In Netvisor, select Accounts payable > Purchase invoices > New purchase invoice.
   • Create a purchase invoice for the vendor (seller) according to the instructions. Instructions for creating a purchase invoice can be found here.
   • Have the invoice reviewed by the seller in accordance with laws and regulations.
3. Pay the invoice to the vendor (seller).
   • In Netvisor, select Accounts payable > Purchase invoices > Payments.
   • Pay the invoice to the vendor (seller). Instructions for paying a purchase invoice can be found here.

When self-billing is carried out according to the instructions, a purchase invoice is created. The invoice cannot be sent as an e-invoice to the seller. The Netvisor invoice view shows the purchase invoice details, and the view can be printed and given to the seller, for example via email. If a document is used as a basis for self-billing, this document must be sent to the seller. No image of the invoice is created because it is a purchase invoice that is not intended to be forwarded.
