Infor LN & Baan Tip: All About Invoicing Methods

Invoicing Methods are a set of parameters that define the types of orders and order lines that can be collected on an invoice, the type of invoice to be generated and the costs to be aggregated on Project invoices and Service invoices.

If options to combine tax codes, departments, sales representatives' line of business area, etc... are checked, LN will combine all available transactions ready to be invoiced that have different tax codes departments, sales representatives, etc...into only one invoice.

If options to combine sales orders, sales order types, and shipments are checked then all sales orders that are created for the same business partner where the shipment and/or sales order type is different will be combined into one invoice.

For example:

  1. If sales order SLS001 is created for BP BP1000 with 2 lines where each line has a different shipment number, and the invoice method is combining shipments, both lines will be part of the same invoice. If the option to combine shipments is not checked then LN will create an invoice per shipment.
  2. If sales order SLS001 is created for BP BP1000 with 2 lines and 2 different shipment numbers and sales order SLS002 is created for the same BP with a cost item, LN will create one invoice for both orders if the option to combine sales orders and shipments is checked. If only the option to combine sales orders is checked then 3 different invoices will be created as all 3 lines will have different shipment numbers. If they have different sales order types and this option is not checked on the invoice method session then also 3 invoices will be created but if it is checked along with sales order and shipment number then only one invoice will be created.
  3. If we take scenario 1 again and both lines have different tax codes and the option to combine tax codes is not selected then LN will create a separate invoice for each line based on the tax code.
     

Note: In the case that the Business Partner Tax Country is different, even if we select combine tax codes, the system will create a separate invoice based on the Business Partner Country to full the statutory compliances for that BP country.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

Tips: LN | Baan

Note: The Blocked Operations (tisfc0540m000) session displays the blocked operations.

Introduction

Sometimes a problem occurs that must be solved before an operation proceeds. Examples of such situations are:

  • The quality of an intermediate product must first be inspected.
  • A machine is in repair.
  • A supplier cannot deliver an essential component in time.
  • A customer is late with its payments.

In these situations the operation can get the operation status Blocked.

An operation can be blocked:

  • Manually.
  • Automatically by Quality.

Blocking reasons

Every blocked operation must have a blocking reason. The blocking reason of a blocked operation has two purposes:

  • To indicate why the operation is blocked.
  • To determine which actions you can no longer perform on the operation.

Types of blocking

The following actions can be blocked by means of a blocking reason:

  • Reporting a quantity completed.
  • Reporting a quantity rejected.
  • Reporting a quantity to be inspected.
  • Reporting an operation completed.

You normally carry out these actions in the Report Operations Completed (tisfc0130m000) session.

You can define blocking reasons in the Blocking Reasons (tisfc2100m000) session.

Manual blocking

Use the Report Operations Completed (tisfc0130m000) session to block an operation. When you block an operation, you must also enter a blocking reason. If Quality has already blocked the operation, you can only enter a blocking reason, which is more restrictive than the blocking reason of Quality.
