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

From John O'Kelly's article on Manufacturing.net:

"Regardless of industry, efficiency gains and increased speed provide a competitive edge. The ever-increasing competition in the manufacturing world makes it necessary to find new, efficient ways to speed up the process while remaining accurate and productive. While flying robots and miracle technologies may promise to reshape the industry, we still have a way to go until full automation, and thus the most important asset on the manufacturing floor in 2019 will remain its people.

In 2019, the focus will undoubtably be increasing efficiencies, and this can be achieved through investing in employees, equipping them with the proper techniques and tools. An invested labor force will limit mistakes on the manufacturing floor and improve throughput at every level of the process."

Here are a few best practices to increase efficiency on the manufacturing floor in 2019:

  1. Invest in your labor force
  2. Prioritize quality assurance
  3. Improve labeling errors
