Hi all,

In BaaN V, in Company data session, we have details of which modules have been implemented. I have not given Central Invoicing as implemented, but still Central Invoicing module is active. Is there any other way of preparing invoices other than Central Invoicing?

Thanks in advance.

Dear Riaz,

I don't think so

Thanks Paul,

Any idea why BaaN allows Central Invoicing when it is set "Implemented" as No.

Also is there any way of automating the Billing request so that a request is made directly as soon as we Release to Invoicing" for Normal Sales Orders with a range.

I tried for a single sales collect order and it worked perfectly well right upto the point of posting the sales invoice.

Thanks in advance.

Dear Riaz,

Indeed the Central Invoicing procedure is a bit long and tedious. Probably trying the use of billing request set might speed thing a little (it'll cut just one step, and that step is the Billing Request step itself)

I don't think we can take out Central Invoicing module. Whenever we create Sales Order Type (Normal), system automatically adds 3 steps, Release to Warehouse, Release to Invoicing and Process Delivered Sales Order. This indicates that the option of deactivating Central Invoicing at Company level has no impact.

Indeed you can use the billing request set.
In a set you can define some default billing requests.
In the billing request define e.g. from sales order blank till ZZZZZZZ.
Once this billing request is added in the billing request set, the set can be ran in a job every night.
In the job proces it creates new billing request itself.
hope this is clear
