Compose/Print/Post Invoices (cisli2200m000)

Use this session to process the invoicing data selected through an invoicing batch or a recurring invoicing batch.

You can select these actions:

  • Compose
  • Print
  • Post

To perform the entire invoicing process, for example, in a batch job, select all three check boxes.

If the original pay-by business partner is different from the pay-by business partner of the invoicing data, LN prints the address of the pay-by business partner as the remit-to address on the invoice or credit note. The original pay-by business partner is used as a composing criterion for grouping the lines on the invoices. For more information, refer to Factoring.

Invoices can be included in a monthly billing invoice. LN only prints such invoices if you selected the Print Monthly Billing Invoices check box in the Invoicing Options (cisli1120s000) session.

Note: 

If one of the financial/reporting/tax periods in the range specified for the invoicing batches is closed, LN displays a warning message and the user will be asked if they want to continue or cancel the process. This is applicable only if:

  • The process is started manually.
  • The fiscal/reporting/tax period determination is based on invoice date or transaction entry date.
