Multiple invoices for a subscription
For some subscriptions, you can run more than one type of invoice. You can set up rules to determine which type of invoice is generated. These types of rules are available, which are defined in Maintenance options:
| Option | Notes |
|---|---|
| eInvoice Type Translation | If your ERP has specified the invoice type to be generated, then it must be translated here to be an output type recognized in LSP. |
| Customer eInvoice Maintenance | Assign the invoice type that is normally produced for a given customer. |
| Default Invoice Type | Select the Default Invoice Type to be generated. The value set in this option will automatically be used for all your invoices unless the eInvoice Type Translation or Customer eInvoice Maintenance is used. |
For example, a subscription has the capability of generating three different types of invoice:
| Type | Description | Percentage of customers |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Business to Business (B2B) | 90% |
| 2 | Business to Government (B2G) | 8% |
| 3 | Other | 2% |
You could set the system up in this way:
- Default
Use the default code for type 1.
- Customer eInvoice Maintenance
Define the two type 2 customers.
- eInvoice Type Translation
Define your invoice type in your ERP for type 3.
This logic is performed by LSP:
- If the invoice type is sent from your ERP, then that type will be generated.
- If the invoice is for one of your two B2G customers, then that type will be generated.
- Otherwise, the default invoice type will be generated.
Note: Ensure that your ERP supports
eInvoice Type Translation functionality.
