Overview
A customer may choose to receive one invoice for every order. In this case, the customer is not invoiced until the order is fully shipped; shipments are not invoiced as they are dispatched. The order is ready for invoicing only when all lines on the order have been supplied. When the order is fully supplied, a single invoice is generated covering all shipments.
Setting a customer up for invoicing per order
- In the Navigation panel, go to Relationships then Cards.
- Search for and select the customer you want to set up.
- Click the Settings tab, then click Customer Settings.
In the Invoice Mode field, select Invoice Per Order.
- Click Save.
Delivery Docket method = check with customer (how do they want to receive it? Email or printed for mailing or both)
Invoice Method = check with customer (how do they want to receive it? Email or printed for mailing or both)
If you want the customer to receive it by email,

Tip
Once a sales order has been fully supplied, an invoice will be generated automatically. You do not need to do a batch run.
