How to: Create Electronic Documents for EHF

  • Article

When you sell goods or services to a customer in the public sector, you must submit documents electronically. In Microsoft Dynamics NAV, you can create electronic documents for invoices, credit memos, reminders, and finance charge memos. Before you can create the electronic documents, you must have set up file locations and information about the customers. For more information, see How to: Set Up EHF and How to: Set Up Customers for EHF.

Electronic documents can only be created after a document has been posted or issued. The following procedures describe how to post a sales invoice with the required information and then create an electronic sales invoice, but the same steps also apply to sales credit memos, reminders, finance charge memos, service invoices, and service credit memos.

Note

The sum of lines in an exported electronic document will not reflect invoice rounding, even if it is enabled. Instead, Microsoft Dynamics NAV sums the lines without rounding.

To post a sales invoice

  1. In the Search box, enter Sales Invoices, and then choose the related link.

  2. Select the sales invoice that you want to post. On the Home tab, in the Manage group, choose Edit.

  3. On the General FastTab, make sure that the following fields contain values:

    • External Document No.

    • Your Reference

    The External Document No. field contains the document number that the customer provided.

    • GLN No.

    • Account Code

    The default value of the Shipment Date field is the posting date of the document.

    For reminders and finance charge memos, the GLN No., Account Code, and E-Invoice fields are on the Posting FastTab.

  5. On the Home tab, in the Posting group, choose Post to post the invoice.
