Understanding the Manual Creation of Invoice Information

You can manually generate invoices without running the Service Billing Invoice Generation program (R48121) or the Contract Billing Invoice Generation program (R52121). When you generate invoices manually, you can:

  • Create a new batch.

  • Create invoices that you want to include in a batch.

  • Add transactions from the Billing Detail Workfile table (F4812) to individual invoices in a batch.

    Note: For JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Contract Billing, you can add only T and M transactions to individual invoices in a batch.

For example, you might have an existing batch that includes invoices that you have already reviewed and revised. You can add another invoice to the batch manually without having to delete and regenerate the entire batch.

You might need to revise a previously billed invoice. For example, a previously billed invoice might need a revision after cash has been applied to the invoice. Rather than voiding the cash receipt or the invoice, you can create an adjustment to the previous application. To do this, enter the application number for the invoice that needs adjusting in the Application No (application number) field on the Create Manual Invoice form. The system automatically assigns the adjustment number and creates a new invoice number for the adjusted application.

Note: For JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Service Billing, when you create invoice information manually, the system does not adhere to any sequence and summarization rules that you defined for the invoice pay item level break logic. You manually control the sequence and summarization logic in the way that you manually create the pay items. For JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Contract Billing, when you create invoice information manually, the system uses the billing lines that you have defined to control the structure of the invoice pay item.

You cannot automatically run the Invoice Journal Generation program or the Create A/R Entries (R48199) program when you create an invoice batch manually. You must call these processes from the Batch Review program (P48221).
