Direct processing of invoices

Direct processing of invoices implies the automatic composition, printing, and posting of a sales invoice. However, before LN performs these actions, you must manually set the line status to Confirmed.

You can use direct processing of invoices to generate individual sales invoices for these types of invoicing data:

• Sales orders

  LN produces the invoice immediately after you release a sales order from Sales to Invoicing.

• Debit notes and credit notes

  Direct processing starts in Financials. For details, refer to Cash application procedure.

• Manual sales invoices

  Direct processing starts as described in To process manual sales invoices:.

PrerequisitesIn the Invoicing Parameters (cisli0100m000) session, set up this data:

• A default invoicing batch template and invoicing options for the invoicing data type.
• The device to which the invoices can be printed.
• For sales order types for which you want to use direct invoicing, select the Collect Order check box in the Sales Order Types (tdsls0594m000) session.
