Enabling the Commercial Invoice Document

Use these instructions to enable Distribution SX.e to print a report that generates an XML file or Invoice BOD (Business Object Document) that can be used by external applications to create a Commercial Invoice Document.

  1. If you use the Invoice BOD as part of the process to print your Commercial Invoice Documents, you must activate the BOD that is outbound from Distribution SX.e.
    1. Select System Administrator > Administration > ION Noun .
    2. In the ION Noun field, specify Invoice.
    3. Select Publish Outbound Process BOD?.
    4. Click Save.
  2. If you are running Distribution SX.e on-premises, you can specify the script command to e-mail the document to the printing solution.
    1. Select System Administrator > Administration > Administrator Options.
    2. Select System > Options.
    3. In E-mail Command, specify the script command. Typically, the script command is xmlprint.sh for Linux, or xmlprint.bat for Windows Server.
  3. If you are running CloudSuite Distribution, you can set up the commercial invoice to print as a form using a forms printing application, such as Infor Document Management. This uses the SXFileTransport BOD to send the XML output.
    1. Select System Administrator > Administration > Administrator Options.
    2. Select Documents > Sales Orders > Printing.
    3. In the Invoices section, specify 4 in the Print Format and select IDM Output Management and Third Party in the Output Type.
    4. Specify SX_Form_Templates in the Commercial Invoice IDM Document Type ID field.
    5. Specify SXCommercialInvoiceTemplate in the Commercial Invoice IDM Template Name field.
    6. Specify an email address and email name if you email commercial invoices from Sales Commercial Invoice Report. Click Save.
    7. Follow the steps for setting up third-party forms printing.
