Invoices Setup and Administration

A number of administrative options are available that affect invoicing. Importantly, many invoice options are tied to setup tables that control the specific behavior of an invoice processing but may seem unrelated from a user’s perspective. For example, the Item Code Setup allows the user to set a flag that in turn will automatically add the Item Code item to the invoice line items within New Complete Invoice.

The following setup areas have an impact on invoicing:

Users will select the branch within the Header and Remit-To fields in New Complete Invoice to render these contact addresses, respectively.
