Using Invoicing
Using Invoicing includes these tasks:
-
Set up Invoicing
Before you can create sales invoices for sales orders, you must define the invoice parameters, the layout of the printed invoices, and the rules for the selection of orders for which LN creates the invoices. -
Print draft invoices in Operations Management (optional)
In the various Operations Management packages, you can print a draft invoice to check the invoice and to make corrections to the invoice amounts before you release the order data to Invoicing. The default template and invoicing options that you define in the Invoicing Parameters (cisli0100m000) session are used for the draft invoice. When you print a draft invoice in Operations Management, the order data is not released to Invoicing. -
Release the order data to Invoicing
You can release the order data for invoicing in various sessions within LN:
-

Remove the invoicing data
Use the Archive/Delete Invoice Data (cisli3205m000) session periodically to remove the invoicing data and the posted invoices from the Invoicing tables. You can archive the data to the History Company of the current financial company.
