For the required Accounting System to appear in the Location picklist, the Accounting System must have the Active/Inactive checkbox ticked.
  1. The Invoices and Credit Notes will display a total number of items reflecting the number of new Accounting Invoices to be created. Click on the Create button to confirm the requirement of creating the Accounting Invoices. (See Figure 4)

Accounting Invoices and the related Accounting Invoice Items should always be created from following the steps detailed in this document, and never by manually creating the records.
Accounting Invoice records CAN NOT be deleted if they have related records or are used in other records. Deleting records is not recommended unless absolutely essential.
Future dated Invoices will not be picked up when trying to create Accounting Invoices. If Invoices are created with an Invoice date in the future, they will not be in the Accounting Invoices, until they reach the Invoice Date.
  1. To modify an existing Accounting Invoice record, open the required record and select the Edit button available on the top right side of the page. You can also double click within fields that need editing or just click on the pencil icon that appears within fields when hovering with your cursor.
  2. When complete, click on the Save button.
