For invoicing an account in RedSky, normally users go to individual service orders and generate invoices. There is another option as well where users can invoice for an account from a single screen.
The ‘Batch Collective Invoicing’ option is available under the Finance Menu and this option is available only for the users with the role “Role_Billing”.
When a user clicks on the ‘Batch/Collective Invoicing’ ? screen will look like below.
In the above screen, the user can find the following options to select.
Bill To Code
Company Division
Job Type
Assignment
After entering the required information and when the user clicks on the ‘Preview Invoice Lines’ button, the system will fetch the information of all the account lines where the information matches with the information entered in the search window and the account lines which are not yet invoiced.
From the above list, the user can select the required records by checking the Select check box and can click on the ‘Generate Invoice’ button to generate the invoice.
When the user clicks on the ‘Generate Invoice’ button a pop up window will open up and which looks like below:
Here user can Generate an Invoice using two buttons:
- Generate Invoice
- Collective Invoice
When the user clicks on the Generate Invoice button, the system will behave in the same manner as the Generate invoice button acts in the Accounting screen.
For all the selected service orders, the system will generate invoices and will assign a unique invoice number for each service order.
For example, if the user has selected two service orders and when clicks on the Generate invoice button, the invoice numbers generated will be 10001 and 10002
When the user clicks on the Collective Invoice button, the system will generate the invoice for all the selected service orders and will assign the same invoice number for all the account lines across all the service orders selected with an extension.
For example, if the user has selected two service orders and when clicks on the collective invoice button, the invoice numbers generated will be 10001_01 and 10001_02.
