Automatically Generate Sales Order Invoices

You can generate multiple invoices automatically from a selected group of standard or repeating sales orders. All information in the selected sales orders is copied to the new invoices.

Before You Begin

Job information is copied from sales orders to invoices only if the following conditions exist:

The Job Cost module is integrated with Sales Order.

The customer number matches the customer number of the job number entered for the sales order.
The Post Invoice Costs to Job Cost check box is selected in Sales Order Options.
The job number, cost code, and cost type entered for the sales order are valid.

Note If the Batch Processing Enable check box is selected in Sales Order Options for Invoice Data Entry, only one batch of selections can be processed at a time. During the invoice generation process, other batches can be edited using Invoice Data Entry.
