Purchase invoices for external operations

Use the Purchase invoices for external operations form to register the lines on purchase invoices that relate to outsourced operations. Purchase invoice lines can be added in various ways:

• By auto-generating purchase invoice lines based on the purchase order
• By executing the Create purchase invoice lines from receipts process.
• By clicking on the Purchase invoices for external operations form. This method is mandatory for all purchase invoices not preceded by a purchase order.

Once you have added the purchase invoice and the lines, the purchase invoice has been registered, but not posted yet. Therefore, no journal entries have been created either. To post the purchase invoice, use the Provisionally process purchase invoices or Permanently process purchase invoices process.

Note: If you open this form from the Permanently processed purchase invoices form, the VAT data are informational and cannot be changed.
