Invoice Interface

Invoices can be automatically matched to shipments based on the Service Provider ID and Shipment Reference Number fields. If more than one shipment is found for an invoice, the invoice must be reviewed manually and assigned to a shipment, it must be rejected. After an invoice is approved, a voucher gets created. A voucher represents what the planner agrees to pay for the shipment.

Use the Financials managers to create and modify invoices and customer bills.

In some cases, you may need to send the Invoice interface outbound. This is true when sending a bill to yourself for internal invoice or billing purposes. When the Invoice interface is used outbound, then it will include all shipment details, as well as any associated order information.

Consolidated Invoices

1. You must send each invoice, parent and child, as a separate transaction.
2. Parent invoices must enter Transportation and Global Trade Management Cloud before any child invoices.
3. Child invoices may be sent inbound referencing a parent in one of two ways:
   • Populate the invoice number on the child to be that of the parent and integration will look up the parent id based on the invoice number.
   • Populate the parent invoice ID on the child.
