Add an invoice from a packing slip

You can manually generate an invoice with an invoice date outside the current counter range directly from the packing slip. You use this if your current counter is a periodic counter with a year tag and you want to set the invoice date to a date in the next year.

For example: your current counter is ' V2016_001 ' and you want the invoice date to be 12/1/2017. Normally Profit will check for this, but if you complete the Dev. date on manual invoice field in the packing slip and then generate an invoice, this is possible.

Note: 

For this you must have added the Dev. date on manual invoice field to the packing slip entry layout.

To generate an invoice manually with a date outside the counter range from a packing slip:

1. Go to: Order Management / Sales process / Packing slip.
2. Open the packing slip properties.
3. Enter a value in Dev. date on manual invoice, for example a date outside of the range of the current counter.
4. Click on the action: Create invoice.

   You are asked to confirm that you want to convert the packing slip into an invoice.

5. Click on: Yes.

   Profit creates an invoice based on the packing slip and you see the invoice in the entry layout.

6. Click on: Finish.
