| # Function: Invoicing 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.
