Consolidated Billing

The need for many invoices required by the high volume and frequency of shipments under Customer KANBAN is eliminated by the use of consolidated billing.  Consolidated billing allows you to group the invoices for several shipments to the same bill-to customer into a single invoice.

The Consolidated Invoicing Flag on the Blanket Order Maintenance Detail screen (GA110S02) indicates how consolidated billing is to be used for shipments against the blanket order.  This flag has the following valid values:

A -  Use consolidated billing for all the items/delivery points on the blanket order.

N -  Do not use consolidated billing for the blanket order.  An invoice will be created automatically when the order shipment is shipped.

P -  Used consolidated invoicing only for items/delivery points managed by Customer KANBAN.

Orders with a consolidated invoicing flag of A or P are eligible to be selected in the Customer KANBAN Consolidated Billing conversation.  The Customer KANBAN Consolidated Billing Select screen (KC340S01) allows you to specify the criteria by which eligible shipments are selected for consolidated billing.

        Customer KANBAN Consolidated Billing Screen.

     This screen is used to specify the criteria for shipments that are to be selected for

          consolidated billing.

All uninvoiced shipments that meet the specified criteria will be selected for consolidated billing.  The Customer KANBAN Consolidated Billing Detail screen (KC340S02) allows you to specify processing parameters for the consolidated invoice such as the payment terms, discount date, and exchange rate.

The individual shipments that are selected for invoicing may have different characteristics than those that you specify for the invoice.  If the specified discount date, due date, payment terms, VAT declaration point, or exchange rate differ from any of the selected shipments, you will be warned of the differences.  If you acknowledge these differences, the characteristics established for the invoice will override those associated with the individual shipments.

You can print the Uninvoiced Ship List Valuation Report (KC550A), which lists the shipments that have not yet been invoiced.
