Invoicing Parameters (cisli0100m000)

The overview session displays:

  • A history list of parameter sets and their effective dates.
  • The current parameter set, at the top of the list and without an effective date.

To view historical settings, double-click one of the historical parameter sets.

To view or change the current parameter settings, double-click the set without an effective date. The set appears at the top of the list.

When you make the required changes and save the new parameter set, LN performs the following actions:

  • Updates the current set (at the top of the list).

You can use the Print Parameters (cisli0400m000) session to print and compare the parameter settings.

In the details session, you can set up:

  • A default billing request template and addition.
  • The default account and dimensions for invoices related to fixed asset disposal.

LN uses the value of this field in combination with two other settings (see Note) to determine:

  • The invoice date, which can be one of these:
