| InvoicingUse Invoicing to
create, print, and post sales invoices from several LN packages. You can
either print the sales invoices or send the invoices to your business partners
using EDI messages. The invoicing procedure includes these steps: - When orders are ready to be invoiced, the Operations Management packages release the invoice data of the orders to Invoicing.
- LN generates the invoices for the invoice data that you select in a billing request. The invoice data selection for a billing
request is controlled by a billing request template, which defines the types and
number of orders that can be grouped on one invoice.
- When you create a billing request, you must select a billing request addition which defines the appearance of
the invoices.
- If you compose the billing request, LN generates the invoices.
Depending on various parameter settings, the invoice data lines can be combined
on one invoice based on a number of composing criteria such as the order or project, the
invoice-to address, and the payment method. You can also set up LN in such a way that the
invoice for a sales order and the credit note for a return order are composed
on a single invoice.
- You can print a draft invoice to check whether the invoices are
correct.
- If the invoice is correct, you can print the original invoice
which you send to the invoice-to business partner, and post the invoice to Financials where open
entries are created in the Accounts Receivable module.
- If corrections are required, you can undo the composition of
the invoice. After the invoice data is corrected in Operations Management, you
can repeat the invoicing procedure.
Note The Credit and Rebill command allows you to change
invoice data even after sending the invoice to the customer, and posting the
invoice to Financials. | |
