Create Customer Invoice

Explanation

Use this activity to create a customer invoice from the customer self-billing invoice. The customer self-billing invoice contains information used for creating the actual customer invoice, which is posted and paid for in the same way as the customer invoices that are not created from self-billing. 

You do not need to perform this activity if the matching type on the Customer/Order/Message Defaults tab is set to either "Auto Match, Create Invoice" or "Auto Match, Create and Post Invoice", as the customer invoice would be created automatically.

Prerequisites

• There must be a customer self-billing invoice in the Preliminary status.
• The customer self-billing invoice must contain at least one line. 
• The customer self-billing invoice must have an SB reference number.

System Effects

• A customer invoice of the SELFBILLDEB type will be created, along with the lines to be invoiced as displayed in the relevant Customer Self-Billing Invoice window.
• If the customer self-billing invoice contains lines from several sites, a customer invoice will be created for each of the sites.
• All the charges that are connected to the customer order lines (but have not been invoiced), will be included in the customer invoice.
• The customer self-billing invoice will be set to the Invoice Created status. 
• If customer order lines had been delivered on different dates, the latest delivery date will be the latest of all these delivery dates. Note that in determining the latest date, only delivery dates of invoiced lines are considered.
  In case of goods that are delivered to customer consignment stock, the date of delivery is considered as the date on which consumption notification is registered.
  If an invoice line had been created through the staged billing process before delivery, the latest delivery date will be null. If the invoice is created after delivery, the latest date of all the delivered lines will be shown.
