Understanding the Joint Venture Invoice Print Process

After you have created joint venture invoices for the partners, you print the invoice for each partner in a format that outlines the charges for each business unit, and e-mail the invoice to the partner.

The Embedded BI Publisher for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is used to print and deliver the invoice to the partners. A report definition is delivered with the software that is preconfigured with a report template in RTF format, source program, and delivery information.

Note:

To modify the Joint Venture Invoice Print RTF template, you can use the BI Publisher Object Repository program (P95600) to find the XML Publisher template (TP09J505R01) and download the RTF document. You can modify the template provided or create a new template. For example, a customer may choose to remove the Invoice Distribution Detail by Joint Venture section from the delivered template. The user can delete the Invoice Distribution Detail by Joint Venture section and then upload the new template to the XML Publisher object.

See the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools BI Publisher for JD Edwards
                        EnterpriseOne Guide for information about the XML Publisher lifecycle. This guide includes information on how to create and modify documents, upload templates to the EnterpriseOne system, create report definitions, and run the reports.

This table shows the relationship between the report definition, source program, and report template that are used by the BI Publisher to print joint venture invoices:

Report Definition	Source Program	Version of the Source Program	Template Name	Template Type
RD09J505 Joint Venture Management Invoice Print	R09J505 Joint Venture Invoice Print	XJDE0001	TP09J505R01 Joint Venture Management Invoice Print Template	.rtf file

You run the XJDE0001 version of the Joint Venture Invoice Print program (R09J505) to source invoice information for printing. The program selects joint venture invoices from the Customer Ledger table (F03B11) based on your data selection values. The program provides data selection options for the fields in the F03B11 and F09J12 tables, enabling you to select data on a joint venture, document number, and so on.

The report definition also includes delivery and e-mail information that the BI Publisher uses to process and deliver the invoice report.

The system e-mails the invoice for each partner to the partner's primary contact. If your data selection is on a joint venture that involves several partners, then the system will split the XML file by invoice document number into several XML files, one XML file for each partner and joint venture company in order to print and deliver a separate invoice to each partner.
