Create an Invoice from a Despatch Order

Security Note: You need the Allow invoice maintenance security right in the Contracts domain security rights group for this activity.

1. Open the Despatch Order.
2. Select the Invoices tab.

   The invoices of the despatch order display with the same information as displayed in the Invoice Explorer.

3. To create an invoice, right-click in the Invoice table and select New and the required invoice type from the menu.

   The Sales Invoice, Credit Note, Purchase Invoice, Purchase Credit Note, Demurrage Invoice, Freight Invoice, Freight Demurrage Invoice, Service Invoice or Service Demurrage Invoice displays as applicable.

   Note: For sales invoices, credit notes, purchase invoices, purchase credit notes or demurrage invoices, the despatch order is preselected. For freight- and service-based invoices, you still need to enter the Provider and District, and search for the despatch order and despatch combination, because the provider of the freight or service cannot be determined directly from the despatch order.

4. To create a commission invoice, right-click the freight invoice in the Invoice table and select New » Freight Commission Invoice or New » Freight Demurrage Commission Invoice from the menu.

   The Freight Commission Invoice or Freight Demurrage Commission Invoice displays as applicable.
