Bill of Exchange Usage (Discounting) in fico

Use

The bill of exchange will now be forwarded to the bank for refinancing (discounting). In the following scenario, you post the bill of exchange usage (manually) as soon as the bill of exchange amount is credited to your account. The incoming money is posted to the account and the bill of exchange charges are posted to the respective expense account. The reverse posting is done by the system automatically. This posting is made to a bill of exchange liability account (bank sub-account).
