      <Paragraph>The invoice process is triggered when you set the order or
	  activity status to Costed. The cost lines that underlie the order or the
	  activity are sent to <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ci" role="package">Invoicing</GUIRef>, from where further processing is
	  carried out to send the invoices to the customer sites.</Paragraph>
   </AimSection>
   <GeneralSection>
      <Paragraph>Depending on the case at hand, an order can be costed at once,
	  costed at an activity level, or each cost line can be costed individually.
	  Taxes applicable for each country are applied at the time of
	  invoicing.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>The invoice from a contract (installments) or an invoice from a
	  maintenance sales order can be combined with a service order, into a collect
	  invoice to prevent a bureaucratic burden in the financial department. In the
	  background, the ledger accounts in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf" role="package">Financials</GUIRef> are updated. The order
	  information is held until the financial reconciliation is carried
	  out.</Paragraph>
