Billing is a general term that occurs in many specialist areas and has a final invoice as its content.
General
Accounting means giving an account of the expenses and / or income . Settlement is the arithmetic determination and accountability of the results of a transaction or asset management . In colloquial terms, billing has become established in many matters of daily life. Services provided are billed , as are claims or liabilities in general, for example in the case of claims for damages . When calculating claims in an insured event, one speaks of a settlement on the part of both the policyholder and the insurer .
Billing is often incorrectly used as a synonym for billing . This is offset by comparing a claim with a corresponding liability; the sum of all claims less the sum of all counterclaims result in the claim . With this settlement, all considered (offset) claims become invalid, they are considered fulfilled. Another form is offsetting , a fulfillment surrogate regulated in § 387 BGB .
