Invoicing Methods (tcmcs0155s000)

Use this session to define or maintain an invoicing method.

If you do not use Project or Service, leave the fields that are specifically related to these packages at their default values.

Use the check boxes to specify that collective invoices must be issued. Invoices can be collected for different types of data. If you collect orders, one invoice is issued covering more than one order. The orders are individually specified on the invoice.

These check boxes combined with the Print Order Lines selection enable you to print four types of sales invoices:

  • Collective and net invoices
  • Non-collective and net invoices
  • Collective and gross invoices
  • Non-collective and gross invoices

The project document can also be filled by Financials when matching or approving a project-related purchase order.

Note

You can specify this field only if the Invoice Type field is Cost-Plus.

Progress Invoice
Additional Work on Invoice
If this check box is selected, additional work is specified on the regular invoices for each installment.

If this check box is cleared, additional work is specified on the invoice for the final installment.

If you do not select the Final Installment check box, you must select this check box.

Rounding on Installment
If this check box is selected, LN invoices the exact installment amount for nonfinal installments. Final installments are never rounded.

If this check box is cleared, LN invoices the amount calculated for the progress specification.

Use the Invoicing module of Project to record the agreed installment amount.

Final Installment
If this check box is selected, LN generates a final installment invoice. If this check box is cleared, LN will not generate a final installment.

Variations in work are specified and accounted for on the final installment invoice.

Percentage Less Work to Settle
If the project required less work than what was originally agreed, LN calculates the amount equivalent to the work reduction. LN then subtracts a percentage of that amount from the invoice.

For example, if the value in the Percentage Less Work to Settle is zero, the work reduction is ignored and the invoice amount is not corrected at all. If the percentage is 100, the invoice is only for work that is actually carried out.

LN uses this percentage to calculate the amount with which the final installment is corrected. If the amount of work reduction exceeds the amount of additional work, LN corrects the final installment.
