Generating customer invoices


During shipment, to obtain payment, we raise an invoice document to our customer. ADempiere provides us with the following three methods for raising an invoice:

  • Generate Invoices (manual): Although this is named as manual, it is actually semi-automatic invoice generation.

  • Generate Invoices: We can issue an invoice with the Prepare status in Document Action.

  • Invoice (Customer): We can manually issue an invoice through this window.

Generating invoices using Generate Invoices (manual)

This procedure is almost the same as the one for shipments. For the sake of variety, we will use Generate Invoice (manual) for practice. Navigate to the Menu | Quote-to-Invoice | Sales Invoices | Generate Invoices (manual) window. Set the following information fields:

  1. Set the Organization field to Shirt.

  2. Set the Document Type field to Order.

This will show a list of eligible order documents. Select the checkbox to the left of the Organization field, as shown in the following screenshot:
