Documents
In BillingCenter, a document is an electronic file (such as a PDF, Word document, or digital photograph) which contains information relevant to an account, policy, or producer. (Note that documents are not used for invoices. Invoice information is generated by BillingCenter. But the assembly of invoice information into a printed or electronic invoice is handled by a downstream system.)
For a complete description of the functionality of documents in BillingCenter, see the Application Guide.
Note: The Common API contains endpoints for retrieving, modifying, and deleting documents.
However, as of this release, there are no endpoints for creating documents. Thus, the notes endpoints in the
Common API have limited value. The Common API has been included in BillingCenter primarily in
anticipation of some future release that may support the ability to create documents for accounts, policies,
or producers.
Note: ContactManager provides the ability to attach documents to contacts. However, the contact
must have the "vendor" tag. Documents cannot be attached to non-vendor contacts.
