      <Paragraph>In this function, all activities that are required to create an
		invoice are carried out. This function starts with the need to create an
		invoice. This invoice can be an order-related invoice, such as a sales order,
		service order, or project, or a non-order-related invoice, such as a manual
		invoice or interest invoice. Several orders for one customer can be combined in
		one invoice based on predefined criteria. Finally, you compose and print the
		invoice. You can send this invoice to the customer, by paper or EDI message, or
		simply create an open entry and not send the invoice. You will not send an
		invoice in case of self-billing. In that case, your customer will pay you,
		based on the receipt of goods, rather than based on the invoice.</Paragraph>
