self-billing procedure
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.
