Invoices (Business Edition)

An invoice is a document that notifies the account holder that an order has been released to fulfillment under their account and lists the following information for that order:

A business account can record whether the invoice should be shipped by e-mail, regular mail or included with a shipment. If the business account is configured to have invoices sent by e-mail, the invoice will be sent automatically when the pick batch for the release is generated.

Note: Only one invoice can be generated for a release.

The invoice terms and conditions specify the method for issuing the invoice. If the invoice is to be sent by e-mail, it is sent to the e-mail address of the buyer contact for the account. If the buyer contact does not include an e-mail address, the invoice is not sent. If the invoice is to be sent by regular mail or included with the shipment, use the generated XML data to print the invoices outside of WebSphere Commerce.

Refer to the tasks below for information on setting the invoice format as well as information on configuring the e-mail transport method and assigning it to the invoice message type.
