About Auto Billing with Credit Cards
You can use credit cards with the auto billing feature. This combined option lets you set up individual customers so that their outstanding accounts receivables are automatically billed to their credit card. If you have credit card information set up for the customer, DDMS defaults to this information when you complete the auto bill order. If needed, however, you can always change this information in order entry.
Using this feature, the order moves through the system in the same way as a prepay order. When you place the order, the ticket is created as a prepay order and the information is saved in the P-CC file. This file holds a list of all prepay orders that have not been transmitted or invoiced. As backordered items arrive and you perform your daily batch invoicing or flushing procedures, you can use the [P] action code in the (TR) screen to send all your prepay tickets from the P-CC file to your verification service for final payment. As tickets are invoiced, the system purges them from the P-CC file when the (MA) is performed at day-end.
