Shipment-based invoicing

You can base invoicing on the sales amounts of the contract deliverables that are linked to the contract shipments. If a shipment involves multiple deliveries, the shipment will serve as an additional composing criterion for combining these deliveries on a single invoice.

To set up shipment-based invoicing:

  1. In the Invoicing Methods (tcmcs0555m000) session, click New to display the details session.

  2. On the Contract tab, ensure to do the following:

    • Set Invoice Type to Delivery Based.
    • Select Shipment Based Invoicing.
  3. Save the newly created invoicing method.
