Correction invoice for an order with advance payment

In the case of advance payment, changes in a sales order and/or packing slip are included in a correction invoice. A correction invoice must be generated manually. You can check if a correction invoice is required in the order properties.

For each advance payment order you can issue only two invoices: the first invoice and the correction invoice. You generate the correction invoice once the order is complete. This enables you to limit the number of invoices.

If you deliver only part of an order and subsequently complete the order (without delivering the remainder) then the stock reserved is released. A correction invoice is then necessary.

To view a sales order with advance payment to see if a correction invoice is necessary:

1. Go to: Order Management / Sales process / Sales order.
2. Open the properties of the sales order you want to change.
3. Select the entry layout.
4. Go to the tab: Pay in advance.
5. View the Correction invoice required check box in the tab header. If the check box is selected then you need to generate a correction invoice for this order because changes have been determined with regard to the first invoice that have yet been rectified with a correction invoice.
6. Close the order.

To generate a correction invoice:

1. If necessary, generate the correction invoice manually.

Once you have generated the correction invoice, the check box in the invoice properties is deselected.
