Bill of exchange is a note or a binding agreement given by one party to another to pay an agreed (predetermined) amount to the other party at a later predetermined date.

The bills of exchange are used in International trade usually.  But these are not being used these days much. There are three parties involved in this transaction or bill of exchange: Drawee, Drawer and payee.
 
Drawee is the one whose money is paid to the payee. Drawer could be the agent like a bank. Drawee could have deposited the money with the drawer, from whom the payee takes.

The bill of exchange contains a title, names of the payee, drawee and drawer, a unique identifying number, dates of issue and/or encashment and the signature of drawee.

A bill of payment is formatted in a format specific to the drawee.

A bill of payment is transferable to third parties.  The payee may sell it in order to get funds (even less than the amount in the bill) earlier than the due date.

A bill of exchange issued by a bank is called bank draft (Demand Draft). If it is issued by a person (private), then it is called trade draft.

A payee should usually inquire sufficiently about the drawee before accepting the bill of exchange.  There are possibilities that the bill is not honoured and payments are not received later on. It is a case of bill being dishonored.  Then legal processes are to be sought.

If there is no interest to be paid on the amount, then the bill of exchange is effectively a post-dated check.

In all the cases the bill of exchange causes multiple entries to be created in the accounting books of all the three parties involved.
