| billing request Selects the order types and orders to be invoiced. If you process a billing request, ERP LN selects the invoicing data and generates the invoices for the order types and orders selected through the billing request. billing request addition Defines the text and the layout of the printed invoices and whether or not you can overwrite the default transaction types and series used for the invoice document numbering. billing request set A set of one or more billing requests set up for recurring processing. If you process a billing request set, ERP LN selects the invoicing data according to the billing requests. billing request template Defines the type and number of orders that you can select through the billing request. For example, the types of orders can be Sales, Freight, Project, or Service, and the number of orders of each type can be none, one, or several. calculation method The way in which tax amounts are calculated. Two methods exist: Parallel Each tax rate is added to the previous tax rate. Example Tax rate for sequence number 1: 10% Tax rate for sequence number 2: 5% Total tax rate: (10+5)% = 15% Cumulative Each tax rate is a percentage of the preceding total tax rate. Example Tax rate for sequence number 1: 10% Tax rate for sequence number 2: 5% Total tax rate: 10% + 5% + (10% / 100% * 5%) = 15.5% composing criteria The predefined criteria for grouping invoice lines on a single invoice.
