We have a branch site that is set to normal invoicing and is set to charge invoices directly to the branch site, not to head office.

Make sure "Split Meter Invoices By Machine" is not ticked on the cards for any of the customers involved

But we want the machines for the branch to charge to head office and to only invoice once a month. We set the "Charge To" on the machine for the branch site to be the head office. We also set the "'invoice mode" on the  machine to be "Batch invoicing"

Enter a few sales, service orders or meter charge runs against the machine for the branch site. Those transactions will create and post sale shipments. But they will not be invoiced if they are linked to the machine. The system is waiting until you run the batch invoice run at month end. Try entering a sale shipment as an example.

The shipment will not invoice, because the sale order is linked to a machine and the machine is set to batch invoicing. If you look at the shipment you will see the invoice button is still active.

But if you copy the sale order and delete the machine from the sale order. The shipment from this new order will invoice right away and charge to the branch. As the overrides on the machine no longer apply.

Now all you have to do is create "invoice run" to handle the  batch invoicing, as you would at the end of a month. The shipment created earlier that is waiting to invoice will get picked up by the invoice run and charge to the head office customer.

The invoice is like the following

Repeat above with as many machines as required. I have repeated the process with two machines. See example invoice below:below:

You should get one invoice for all sales for the machines in the month be they from sale orders, sale shipments service orders or meter charges.
