E-Invoicing

Why is it Useful?

CMiC has added the ability for users to email Material Sales invoices to customers. This provides users with the option of generating e-invoices directly from the Material Sales module, as well as the flexibility of customizing the email notification.

NOTE: This feature was released in Patch 16 under Issue 22.60422.

How Does it Work?

A new E-Invoice tab has been added to the Materials Management Control File screen in the Material Sales module. This tab contains the 'Enable E-Invoicing' checkbox which is used to enable the feature, as well as several other key fields used for setting up the sender’s email address and selecting email text codes. Text codes provide the flexibility to customize an email’s subject line and email body per company. The customer’s email address will be retrieved from the Maintain Customers screen. At the time of posting, selecting "Preferred Contact Method" as the printing destination triggers the process. A report is generated when the invoice processing is complete.
