Direct processing of invoices

You can use direct processing of invoices to generate individual sales invoices for these types of invoicing data:

• Sales orders
  LN produces the invoice immediately after you release a sales order from Sales to Invoicing.
• Debit notes and credit notes
  Direct processing starts in Financials. For details, refer to Cash application procedure.
• Manual sales invoices
  Direct processing starts as described in To process manual sales invoices.

Prerequisites

In the SLI Parameters (cisli0100m000) session, set up this data:

• A default billing request template and billing request addition for the invoicing data type.
• The device to which the invoices can be printed.
• For sales order types for which you want to use direct invoicing, select the Collect Order check box in the Sales Order Types (tdsls0594m000) session.

Prerequisites

• Manually change the line status to Confirmed.

During direct processing, LN performs these actions:

• Composes the invoice.
• Prints the invoice according to the default template addition, to the device defined for direct processing in the SLI Parameters (cisli0100m000) session.
• Posts the invoice amounts to Financials.
• Changes the invoicing data status to Posted.
