You have to approve a PO before you can print it. Makes sense.
But an AR invoice can be printed before it is posted. I’ve known this for years, but I never understood why this was a good idea.
I mean, to spell it out, you can
Create an invoice
Print-preview it
Send the PDF to a customer
Alter the invoice
Then post it
This seems like a terrible thing to allow.
Anyway, tell me if
A. You disagree with me (and think printing unposted invoices is fine), or
B. You agree and have looked at some way to prohibit this
But… I assume that’s still the honor system, correct? It looks like it’s a tool for printing drafts but does not force it for unposted invoices, right?
Pretty sure it will work for both as you can select it from the invoice tracker and the Mass Print… I think the print invoice form in AR invoice Entry is the same.
What I was really trying to point out is that here is a basis of a process.
You could always have a process like this and even modify the invoice rdl with some T&Cs
Generate the Invoice group
Add the invoices
Email out the “Draft Invoices”
Wait given period based on the Draft invoice Days response expry date in the T&Cs
Modify the invoices on the customers negotiation process
When the invoice is created the invoice is placed on hold automatically and can’t be posted until you take off the hold. You can print either a draft copy or “real” invoice before taking it off hold.
The customer is always right anyway so
