Understanding the Print Invoices Program

The Print Invoices program (R42565) updates this information in the Sales Order Detail File table (F4211):

• Invoice number.

• Invoice date.

• Invoice document type.

• Status codes (the program sets the next status code to run the Sales Update program (R42800)).

You must specify the next status codes that the system selects for processing.

When you set up a country for legal document type, the Print Invoices program processes only those transactions that have the company and tax/area combination same as the specified country. The system also uses this country to retrieve the company address number from the Company Address Number for Tax Reports program (P00101).

Note: You can process and print a group of invoices in a batch using a proof or final mode. When you run the R42565 program in proof mode, the system does not perform updates to status codes or any files. You can use the proof version for other functions, such as sales order acknowledgements or invoice reprints. To properly process invoice proofs, you should run version XJDE0005 or a copy of this version.
