The Create invoice recommendations for costs and services process provides an easy way to invoice 'Costs' or 'Service' type parts. By running this process, the costs and services will be transferred to the invoice recommendations form.

You can then create the final sales invoices from the Invoice recommendations file. This way, you can transfer all costs and services from a sales order to the invoicing process in one go. It is also possible, however, to transfer only the sales line costs to invoice recommendations.

If you select the Confirm sales line check box, the Create invoice recommendation for sales line process will also automatically confirm the line as complete. This will prevent the same costs or services from being invoiced more than once.

Before you can transfer sales lines to the Invoice recommendations transaction file, the following conditions must be true:

• The part on the sales line must be of the 'Costs' or 'Service' type.
• The sales line status must be of type 'Order' or 'Actual costing'.
• The invoicing method must be of the 'Not applicable' or 'No link' type.
• The line has not yet been confirmed as complete.

Note: Cost lines with an invoicing method other than 'Not applicable' or 'No link' and a subnumber not equal to '000' cannot be moved to the Invoice recommendations form using this process. You should manually move these costs lines to the Invoice recommendations form when creating a shipping note for the '000' line.

You can find the invoicing method for a costs line on the Specification tab of the sales line.
