within 5 business days or contact your trading partner and agree on an alternative. Note: An exception to this is that any rejection of a Bill Ready 810 will not change the billing window. If you receive an 824 with action flag set to notification only (Evaluate), a manual response (e-mail or call) to let the sending party know when the problem will be fixed is suggested. The proactive 824 is generated whenever the billing renders a bill for the non-billing party. The proactive 824 is not used as an acknowledgement that the billing party received the non-billing party’s invoice (810) transaction, or to provide information about the charges on the current bill. Pay as you get paid – the balance amount in the proactive 824 reflects the non -billing parties charges due. Purchase of Receivables (POR) – the balance amounts in the proactive 824 will not reflect the non-billing parties’ charges due but rather the billing parties balance.
