Invoice Types

You can specify these types of invoices for the customers:

Invoice Type

Description

Unconsolidated invoice

The system prints a separate invoice for each order that the customer places.

Consolidated invoice

The system combines multiple sales orders on one invoice. You can set up the option to consolidate invoices in the customer's billing instructions. When you want to consolidate invoices, the system consolidates the accounts receivable and general ledger entries.

If you run consolidated invoices and prevent the system from assigning accounts receivable numbers, you must select the version of the Sales Update program that assigns invoice numbers.

Summarized invoice

The system combines multiple line items for the same item if the item number, cost, and price of each line item are identical. For example, if you ship the same item to multiple locations, you can summarize line items for the invoice that is sent to the bill-to location.

Note: You can consolidate or summarize invoices, but you cannot do both.
