I am actually looking the translation of the term "Zahlung im Gutschriftsverfahren". I don't know what this means. Thank you.
"Besteht ein geschätztes Jahresvolumen von über x.000 € wird der Bedarf mit einem Preisvergleich inkl. Angebote und Ansprechpartner an den Einkäufer der BA weitergeleitet. Anschließend folgen die Verhandlungen des Einkäufers mit den Lieferanten über Inhalte und Konditionen für eine Bestellung. Der Lieferant erhält eine Rahmenbestellung. Danach bekommt er von der Disposition einen bzw. mehrere Abrufe, die sowohl eine Lieferung als auch eine Zahlung im Gutschriftsverfahren initiieren."

self-billing procedure
This is the phrase used by SAP for the procedure. It is easily understandable.
The whole Gutschriftverfahren is explained in the Wikipedia entry. It is all about customers "self-billing" instead of allowing their suppliers to send them invoices for goods / services supplied.

I would avoid using the term "credit note" procedure. In the normal course of business, it is suppliers who issue credit notes. For example, if I have already invoiced for goods that the customer has returned or did not received or disputes etc I can issue the customer a credit note for these purposes to set off again the existing or future invoices.
The Gutschriftverfahren departs significantly from this traditional business model. The quasi-invoicing is done by the customer. Hence the SAP term "self-billing" captures this feature much better than any reference to credit notes.
