Understanding Outbound Invoice Transmissions

You run the Outbound Extraction program (R42565) from the Sales Invoice menu to generate EDI invoices (810/INVOIC) for customers.

When you run the Outbound Extraction program, note that:

• Each detail record has an associated additional detail record that contains more information.

  The additional data contains totals for taxes, payment terms, and discounts.

• Each header record has an associated additional header record that contains the total amount field of the detail invoice records selected for processing.

  The additional data contains totals for taxes, payment terms, and discounts.

• Sales tax amounts and accounts receivable information are computed automatically.

  These amounts are not stored in the sales order fields. Sales tax amounts and accounts receivable information could change when the order is processed through sales update.

• • Domestic and foreign accumulated invoice amounts for kit items are updated.

  The accumulated invoice amounts are used with the extended price of the kit parent to verify that the total amount invoiced for the parent or components does not exceed the extended price of the kit parent.

The Outbound Extraction program extracts records from the sales application tables and creates Invoices within the EDI Outbound Interface tables so that they can be sent to the trading partner.
