About creating actual invoice sales entries
Actual invoice sales entries represent customer contract sales for a given cycle date, verified by a customer fax or other official source. You must create released, actual invoice sales entries to invoice the associated charges.
After you release charges for an actual sales record, the completed invoice data for charges becomes available for further processing. The invoice data can include charges for sales, note payments, and special charges. You must create invoice records for interfacing into the Billing application.
