Descripción v3.1.2

Input:

  • Parameter Request Type is mandatory and must be of type Invoiced
  • Parameter Product is used to invoice this product when the Request Updates have quantity but not product
  • The other parameters are used just for filtering purposes

Process:

This process invoices Requests according to the Request Type provided (Invoiced type) and with status Closed (according to status configuration) and must be Invoiced.

It groups request by Business Partner, obtaining spent products from Request Updates, according to invoiced quantity.

Output:

One invoice for every Business Partner with lines for spent products.

Detected Problems v3.1.2

  • Last used product and quantity stays fixed in Request, when customer makes an update - even via web. So, customer added records also invoice products notwithstanding the customer hasn't added those products.
  • Process doesn't have control over Requests invoiced, if the process is executed several times, it generates several invoices for the same requests and products

Suggested Enhancements v3.1.2

  • Relation between Invoice and Request Update is not registered, as a suggestion it could be filled on invoice or line descriptions pointing to the corresponding request. (Solution here).
  • To control that a spent product is not invoiced twice, it could added a column in the Request Update (R_RequestUpdate) to join with invoice line
  • Assign invoice to the same project as request
