Developer's questions on AutoInvoice, pls help..

Question

Hi all,
We develope custom billing application on Oracle database for a customer that already run EBS 11.5.9. On scheduled basis billing data should be transfered to AR interface tables on EBS, then user should run AutoInvoice.
Since we come from developer side, I have some questions on this :
1) When user run AutoInvoice on EBS, does it also automatically create the journal (debit->AR, credit->Revenue)?
OR
Do we have to also transfer the journal into gl_interface table ?
2) Beside billing data, we also have to transfer CreditNote data (negative sales that will deduct the AR) to EBS. What are the interface tables for CreditNote data ?
3) Is there any resources / docs on the internet about table structures and column description of the above mentioned interfaces table ?
Thank you very much for your help,
xtanto

Answer 1

Custom module invoices first load into below mentioned interface tables.
( If you are deriving revenue and receivalbe account using autoinvoice then no need to load transactions into distribution table) .
Both invoices and credit memo using same interface tables
