The Account API provides standardized mechanism for the management of billing and settlement accounts, as well as for financial accounting (account receivable) either in B2B or B2B2C contexts. It allows creation, update and retrieval of account information either in a B2B2C relationship context (creation of mass market customer billing account within a “Billing on Behalf of” process for example) or in a B2B context (creation of a billing/settlement account for a partner or B2B customer). It also allows creation and query of bill items allowing partners or B2B customer to check their invoice. Accounts typically refer to parties and party roles. However the management of party and party roles is out of the scope of this API. The TMF APIs Party Management, Customer Management and Party Role Management can be used for this purpose.
