Understanding Invoicing for Outbound Inventory Orders

After you process an outbound inventory order detail line through ship confirmation, you can use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Outbound Inventory Management system to print an invoice. An invoice provides information about an order, such as:

• Order quantity

• Item cost

• Shipping and order date

For internally owned shipments (consigned inventory shipments and VMI with consignment), you do not invoice the customer till they report consumption. In such cases, you can run the Print Invoices report (R42565) as a shipping document to display internally owned shipment lines with estimated price. When you run the Print Invoices report (R42565) for outbound inventory orders containing only internally owned shipment detail lines, the system does not update the invoice number, invoice type, invoice company, and invoice date.

Note: You use processing options to specify if the system prints internally owned shipment lines on the Print Invoices report.

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Outbound Inventory Management system allows you to create orders with both internally owned shipment detail lines and other order type detail lines. When you run the Print Invoices report for orders that contain a mix of internally owned shipment lines and other order type detail lines, the system:

• Updates the invoice number, invoice type, invoice company and invoice date for other order types, customer owned VMI order lines, internally owned billing order lines, and prints the invoice number at detail level.

• Does not update the invoice number, invoice type, invoice company and invoice date for internally owned shipment lines.

You can use the Print Invoices report to print the following information on the invoice generated for internally owned shipment order lines:

• Item number, quantity and cost

• Estimated price

• Shipping date

• Delivery instructions

• Value of goods being shipped (cost and extended cost)
