If enabled, the **Advanced Invoices** function can be used to partially Invoice a customer order (e.g. when an item is being back-ordered), or invoice the same customer for multiple customer orders at once. To enable Advanced Invoices, select **System > Company > Settings** from the menu bar. The Enterprise Settings tab will open, showing a list of configurable enterprise settings. Locate **CustomerOrder.EnableAdvancedInvoice** in the Enterprise Settings list and tick the checkbox to the right. Once enabled, an **Advanced Invoice** action button will appear to the top right of Customer Order windows. ## Partially Invoicing Customer Orders #### Daily Activity > Customer Orders To partially invoice a customer order, first **Open** it from the Customer Orders Search list. At the top right of the Customer Order window, click the **Advanced Invoice** action button. The **Advanced Invoice** window will open, showing all invoiceable details for the customer order. Details can be deleted and/or quantities reduced so that the full order amount is not invoiced: - To delete a line from the invoice, select it from the list and click the **Delete** action button to the top right. - To change the quantity of an Item being invoiced, enter the number of the item to invoice in its **Qty to Invoice** cell. Additional Items and other details can also be added to the invoice, as usual. Once the partial order is ready to be invoiced, click on the **Commit** action button in the top right of the Advanced Invoice window. The **Invoice** pop-up window will open. Use the **Payment Methods** or **Payment Terms** list on the left of the Invoice window to process the payment. The **Advanced Invoice Note** textbox in the bottom right can also be used to add any additional notes to the invoice, which are shown in Marlin but will not appear on the generated invoice. To invoice the order and return to the customer order's Information tab, click on the **Commit** button at the bottom right of the Invoice window. Note If any of the items' **Qty to Invoice** is less than its **Qty Ordered**, the order will remain open after the partial invoice and its status will change to Back-Ordered. Partially invoiced orders with items remaining to be invoiced will be listed as **Back-Ordered** in the Customer Orders Search list and can be invoiced again at a later date. ### Invoicing Back-Orders #### Daily Activity > Customer Orders Once the remaining items on a back-ordered customer order are ready to be invoiced, **Open** it from the Customer Order's Search list. Note The customer order's Search list needs to be set to **All** or **Back-Ordered** to show back-ordered customer orders. The order will open on the **Order Details** tab. In the order's **Details** list (next to the Quantity column) will be an additional **Outstanding** column: - An item's **Quantity** value is the total amount that was originally ordered. - An item's **Outstanding** value is the number remaining to be invoiced. Lines that have already been invoiced cannot be deleted from back-ordered customer orders, but outstanding lines can be edited and new ones can be added. Once the order is ready to be invoiced, click on the **Invoice** action button in the top right of the module window. The **Invoice** pop-up window will open. Use the **Payment Methods** or **Payment Terms** list on the left of the Invoice window to process the payment. The **Advanced Invoice Note** textbox in the bottom right can also be used to add any additional notes to the invoice, which are shown in Marlin but will not appear on the generated invoice. To invoice the order and return to the customer order's Information tab, click on the **Commit** button at the bottom right of the Invoice window. Alternatively, if the back-ordered items are no longer required, the customer order can be cancelled, by clicking on the **Cancel Button** to the top right of the module window. ## Invoicing Multiple Customer Orders #### Daily Activity > Customer Orders To invoice multiple customer orders at once, first **Open** one of them from the Customer Orders Search list. At the top right of the module window, click on the **Advanced Invoice** action button. The **Advanced Invoice** window will open, showing the invoiceable details for the customer order. To the top right of the Invoice Details list, click the **+Order** action button. The **+Order** window will open showing a list of the customer's open orders. Note Orders already added to the Invoice, along with any other non-invoiceable orders (e.g. quotes), will be greyed out and cannot be selected. To add an order to the invoice, select it in the list and click on the **Select** button at the bottom right of the +Order window. All of the invoiceable lines of the selected Order will be added to the Advanced Invoice details list, with their original order number is listed in the **Order Number** column. The invoice details can be added to and edited, as with partial invoices. Once the orders are ready to be invoiced, click on the **Commit** action button in the top right of the Advanced Invoice window. Once the order is ready to be invoiced, click on the **Commit** action button in the top right of the module window. The **Invoice** pop-up window will open. Use the **Payment Methods** or **Payment Terms** list on the left of the Invoice window to process the payment. The **Advanced Invoice Note** textbox in the bottom right can also be used to add any additional notes to the invoice, which are shown in Marlin but will not appear on the generated invoice. To invoice the order and return to the customer order's Information tab, click on the **Commit** button at the bottom right of the Invoice window.
