How to: Post Partial Sales Invoices

When you use partial shipments, that is, shipping orders with multiple shipments, you can choose to invoice the shipments on several invoices.

You must have made a partial shipment before you can make a partial invoice.

After making the first shipment, but before shipping the remainder, you will invoice the shipment. The invoice will have the same posting date as that of the order, so you do not change the contents of the Posting Date field.

To post partial sales invoices

  1. In the Search box, enter Sales Orders, and then choose the related link. Open the sales order for which you made a partial shipment.

  2. On the Lines FastTab, in the Qty. to Invoice field, enter the number of items you want to invoice.

  3. In the Qty. to Ship field, enter 0.

    The maximum quantity you can enter in the Qty. to Invoice field is the quantity in the Qty. Shipped field. If you enter a quantity that is larger than the quantity in the Qty. Shipped field, the program will invoice only the quantity in the Qty. Shipped field.

  4. Post the invoice.

Note

If you have posted a prepayment invoice for the order, you can decide how much of the prepayment amount to deduct from each invoice. By default, a fraction of the prepayment amount that is proportional to the amount of the partial invoice is deducted. However, you can change the contents of the Prepmt Amt to Deduct field on the sales line.
