Invoicing Status

  • On Hold
    • Billable lines
      The invoicing data cannot be selected for invoicing. You must confirm the invoicing data before you can generate the invoices.
    • Invoices
      The status of the original invoice when an invoice with status Posted is reversed using the Credit and Rebill command in the Invoices (cisli3105m000) session.
    Note
    • If Workflow is implemented, the On Hold status applies to all transferred billable lines with negative amounts.
    • A billing request with the On Hold status can be processed in the Compose/Print/Post Invoices (cisli2200m000) session. For more information, refer to Billing request status.
  • Canceled

    The invoicing data line has been canceled. If you undo the cancellation, the invoicing data status is set to On Hold.

  • Confirmed

    The invoicing data can be selected for invoicing when you process a billing request in the Compose/Print/Post Invoices (cisli2200m000) session.

    Note

    If Workflow is implemented, a billable line will receive status Confirmed only after approval through the workflow process.

  • Ready to Submit

    Applicable if Workflow is implemented.

    This status matches the Ready to Print status, except that the invoice must first be approved.

    You can print a draft invoice to check the invoice. If the draft invoice is not correct, you can undo the composition of the invoice. The invoicing data status is then reset to Confirmed.

  • Pending Approval

    Applicable if Workflow is implemented.

    This status indicates that the invoice has been submitted for approval. As a result, the invoice can no longer be changed.

    An invoice with status Pending Approval is excluded from any processing in Invoicing.

  • Ready to Print

    The invoice is ready for printing. LN has generated a temporary sequence number to identify the invoice. You can change the invoice date to the current date or to another date in the past, as required. The invoice will then be recalculated.

    You can print a draft invoice to check the invoice or you can print an original invoice and send it to the invoice-to business partner. If the draft invoice is not correct, you can undo the composition of the invoice. The invoicing data status is then reset to Confirmed.

  • Printed

    An original invoice has been printed that you can send to the customer. LN has replaced the temporary invoice sequence number with the original invoice document number.

    The invoice is final and you must post the invoice. You cannot undo the composition and change the invoicing data. You can reprint the original invoice if this is necessary.

    Note

    For tax invoices, the invoice number assigned during composing is also the final invoice number.

  • Posted

    The invoice has been sent to the customer and posted to Financials. An open entry has been created in Accounts Receivable.

    You can reprint the original invoice if this is necessary, or you can use the Archive and Delete Invoice Data (cisli3210m000) session to remove the invoice data from Invoicing.

    Note

    The Posted status does not apply to billable lines, because these are removed when the related invoice is posted.
