Guide billing officers through clean bill payload creation before posting to PayNow for collection, monitoring, and settlement.
Use utility account, TIN, student ID, lease number, or municipal reference based on service type.
Every bill carries a due date so reporting, reminders, and revenue forecasting stay consistent.
Service type determines downstream ledger dimensions, reconciliation logic, and reporting slices.
Common bill shapes that institutions can submit through the PayNow government API.
