Invoicing

Settlements addendum

Detailed information regarding the settlements and installments that are linked to a sales invoice is now included in the Invoice Settlements Addendum. To print the addendum, select the Print Invoice Settlements check box on the Reports tab of the Invoicing Options (cisli1520m000) session. You can also specify a device here.

The Invoice Settlements Addendum includes the reference of the original invoice, the settled amount, the tax amount, the total settled amount, and the settlement document type. All amounts are displayed in the local currency and the home currency. The Invoice Settlements Addendum shows the information for these documents:

  • Advance payment requests
  • Advance invoices
  • Normal installments
  • Guarantee installments
  • Progress payment requests

These documents apply to manual sales invoices, sales order invoices, service invoices, and project invoices.

Note: In the case of Project, settlements can be created only for advance payments, advance invoices, or progress payment requests. When the installments are created, the settlement is also created and displayed in Invoicing. The progress payment request must not be confused with the progress invoice (installment).

In addition, significant changes have been made to the InvoiceBOD publication related to installment invoices. See KB Article 2251923 for more information.

Tax amount in local currency

Foreign currency self-billed invoices can now receive and store tax amounts in the tax currency and exchange rates for conversion from invoice currency to tax currency. This information is used when an invoice is created in LN CE.

These sessions are used to store this information:

  • Tax currency rate information, tax date, and tax rounding in the Self-Billed Invoices (cisli5600m000/cisli5100m000) session.
  • A tax summary for self-billed invoices in the Self-Billed Invoice Tax details (cisli5120m000) session.

If an exchange rate is available on the received self-billed invoice, it is used to calculate the tax amounts in the tax currency during invoice creation. If the new Use SBI Tax Amounts parameter is selected in the Invoicing Parameters (cisli0100m000) session, tax amounts in the tax currency of the self-billed invoice are used.

To ensure that incorrect tax amounts are not inherited from self-billed invoices, these actions are performed:

  • The tax consistency between the net amounts of the self-billed invoice lines and the self-billed invoice tax details is verified.
  • In the Self-Billing Authorizations (cisli0120m000) session, a tolerance percentage for deviations can be specified. If the deviation between the calculated tax amounts in LN CE and the self-billed invoice tax amounts is within the tolerance, then the tax amounts are taken from the self-billed invoice. If the deviation exceeds the specified tolerance, then no invoice is created in LN CE. In this case, the self-billed invoice tax amounts must be verified. If necessary, a different user with a higher tolerance percentage specified in the Self-Billing Authorizations (cisli0120m000) session can create the invoice.
