Creating miscellaneous invoice – An overview

Activity Overview

You can enter the invoice information like the code identifying the finance book in which the invoice details have to be posted. You can enter the number identifying the invoice if you have opted for the “Manual” numbering type. The system generates a unique invoice number if you have not opted for the “Manual” numbering type.

You can also enter the payment information like the customer on whom the invoice must be created, the location to which the items have to be shipped and the sales person who is involved in this sales. You can also enter the date from which the payment schedule must be calculated if a “Credit” payment is to be received.

If you want to make some more modifications to the invoice you can save the invoice in the “Draft” status. An invoice in this status cannot be authorized. The status of a newly created miscellaneous invoice is usually updated as “Fresh”. This invoice can be authorized.

This page also allows you to authorize a miscellaneous invoice immediately after creation. The status of the invoice after authorization is updated as “Authorized”. The details of this invoice cannot be modified.

The payment schedule is also generated based on the pay term that has been set as default for the customer. If pay term has been modified the system generates the payment schedule based on the modified pay term. A payment schedule is also generated if an electronic payment is to be received for the invoice.
