Regenerate Invoice Specification

This document explains how you regenerate an invoice specification. Use this instruction when agreement terms have been changed and you want to update the invoice specification with the new terms. Changes that require regeneration are, for example, material pricing methods, price lists, discounts, and work center pricing.

Outcome

The preliminary invoice is regenerated according to the new terms. It can be checked and approved for invoicing.

Before you start

The starting conditions listed in Managing Maintenance Customer Order Invoicing must be met.
One or more transactions must exist in 'Maint CO. Check Preliminary Invoice Spec' (COS170).

Follow these steps

Start 'Maint CO. Check Preliminary Invoice Spec' (COS170/B).

Access this program by selecting the MCO line in 'Maintenance Customer Orders. Open Lines' (COS101) and selecting related option 11='Invoice Specification'.
Select related option 15='Regenerate invoice' to start the job. Confirm if the system prompts you to do so.

Note: The regeneration will only be done for the current MCO line and not for the entire customer order.

Troubleshooting

When regeneration is ongoing, the order line status is temporarily set to 37 (or 47 depending on previous status) to prevent further action. This status is reset when the regeneration is complete. If the regeneration is terminated abnormally and the status gets stuck, it can be changed manually in 'Program Problem. Solve' (CRS418) by selecting correction ID 'CO01'.
