Processing consolidated merged invoices

Note:

Prerequisites
The DI document INVOIC, document subtype 3 (merged invoice), should be set to Paper copy = NO. This setting prevents the generation of the standard merged invoice for business partners where the original merged invoice is not deemed acceptable.

The following steps are included in the process:

Invoice generation and printout

  1. The invoice work file is re-processed to determine if any of the processed invoices are merged invoices.
  2. For each of the merged invoices that are identified, the trading partner is determined.
  3. If the trading partner is defined for receiving consolidated merged invoices (the Consolidated M/Invc field is YES for the trading partner), then the Invoice reprint program is called for the respective invoice. The following process is then initiated:
    1. The invoice header is retrieved for the selected invoice number.
    2. If the invoice is recognized to be a merged invoice, the trading partner is determined.
    3. If the trading partner is defined for receiving consolidated merged invoices, then the following process is initiated:
      • Temporary consolidated merged invoice files are created.
      • The Invoice reprint program resumes, but reads the data from the temporary consolidated merged invoice files.
      • Consolidated merged invoices are printed.
      • The temporary files are then deleted.
  4. If a merged invoice is identified and the trading partner indicates that consolidated merged invoices are not required, then the standard merged invoice is printed. If an invoice is identified as not being a merged invoice, then the standard invoice is printed.
