Bulk Apply a Billing Schedule to Buyers
Overview
You can apply a Billing Schedule to multiple buyers in bulk to automatically issue Draft Billing Invoices based on the Billing Schedule settings.
Purpose
The function to Bulk Apply a Billing Schedule to Buyers is used for the following purposes.
- Streamline configuration tasks: By setting schedules for multiple buyers within a single screen, you save the trouble of opening the detail screen for each buyer and significantly reduce the administrative workload.
- Flexible condition assignment: It supports not only setting the same schedule uniformly for all selected buyers but also setting different schedules according to each buyer's contract, smoothly reflecting diverse Transaction Conditions in the system.
- Enable automatic issuance: By applying a schedule, you can start automatically creating Draft Billing Invoices for that buyer, eliminating the need for individual billing invoice creation tasks.
- Reflect Transaction Conditions: Link an appropriate Billing Schedule that matches the buyer's contract details (Recurrence, Cut Off Date, and Payment Due Date) to achieve billing processing according to the contract.

Important Notes
Please note the following points when using the function to apply a billing schedule to multiple buyers in bulk.
"Group Billing Delegated Buyers" Cannot Select a Billing Schedule.
Because the "Billing Delegatee" manages the issuance of invoices, the Billing Schedule feature is not applicable to Group Billing Delegated Buyers.
Existing settings for each buyer will be overwritten.
If a Billing Schedule has already been applied to the buyer being set, it will be immediately
overwritten with the settings of this operation.
The previous settings will not be retained.
Please check carefully before applying, especially if there are buyers with special schedules set individually.
About the Timing of Draft Billing Invoice Issuance After Application
Automatic issuance of Draft Billing Invoices starts based on the "Recurrence x Cut Off Date"
settings of the Billing Schedule at the point when application to the Buyer is completed.
Data for the target period is aggregated and automatically issued at 12:05 AM (JST) on the day
following the "Next Closing Date" of the applied schedule.
About Calculation Rules for "Payment Due Date"
The payment deadline used depends on the Override Payment Due Rule setting in the applied billing schedule.
- In the case of a Billing Schedule where Override Payment Due Rule is "Enable": Regardless of the Buyer settings, the rule of the "Billing Schedule" takes precedence.
- In the case of a Billing Schedule where Override Payment Due Rule is "Disable": The "Payment Due
Rule" set for the Buyer is referenced.
*Please note that if the "Default Payment Due Rule" of the Buyer is also set to disabled, a Draft Billing Invoice with a blank "Payment Due Date" will be issued.
For the Maker Bank Account of Draft Billing Invoices, Buyer Settings Are Referenced
The "Default maker bank account" set for the Buyer is applied to the bank account information for
the transfer of the automatically issued Draft Billing Invoice".
If the "Default maker bank
account" is not set on the Buyer side, a Draft Billing Invoice with blank transfer destination
information will be issued.
If you want to achieve complete automation, please set the
"Default maker bank account" in advance on the Buyer Management page.
