Self-billing is a commercial arrangement between a
supplier and a customer, in which the customer prepares the supplier’s invoice
and forwards a copy to the supplier with the payment. You may issue self-billed
invoices to your suppliers if they have agreed to this method of
accounting.
The self-billed invoice may include GST in Malaysia if
the requisite conditions are met.
In terms of how to use,
the Self
Bill Invoice is the same as Purchase
Order, except that the voucher
uses a different prefix, i.e. “SBI”. Also, there is no Scheduled Delivery tab for a Self Bill
Invoice.
Similar to Purchase
Order, the Update GL button posts the transaction
under Purchase
Entry in the Supplier module. You
still need to match payment with the purchase invoice to settle the
payment.

Purchase
Order
transaction screen.
