Editing Invoices

After creating draft invoices via invoice run or manually, you check them for correctness. If necessary, you must edit the draft invoices.

Editing invoices can involve

Info

You can modify invoice data and invoice line items as long as invoices have the status Draft.

Editing Invoice Information

The most important invoice information include:

Field Description
Invoice Date Specifies the (legally binding) invoice date to be printed on the invoice document.
Invoice No. Specifies the invoice number. In Draft status, the numbers are temporary and of no legal relevance. When finalizing invoices, JustOn creates unique and unalterable numbers based on defined counters.

For a complete list of available invoice information and invoice line item information, see Invoice and InvoiceLineItem.

Modifying General Invoice Data

You can edit basic data, addresses, distribution instructions, etc. of draft invoices.

  1. Open the invoice you want to modify.
  2. Double-click the fields to be modified and specify the information as required.

    Alternatively, you can click Edit in the detail view and edit all fields at once.

  3. Click Save.

Modifying Invoice Texts

Usually, the text fields as listed in Template Structure and Building Blocks are empty for draft invoices. The corresponding values are taken from the template when generating the PDF preview or when finalizing the invoice.

Depending on your organization's requirements, you must modify the texts for individual invoices, that is, without applying the changes to the invoice template. To this end, you can copy the text field contents of the template to the draft invoice and then modify the texts as required.

Make sure that the button Copy Text is available on the invoice detail view, see Enabling Template Text Copies.

  1. Open the invoice you want to modify.
  2. Click Copy Text.

    This copies the contents of the template text fields to the current draft invoice.

  3. In the Texts section, double-click the fields to be modified and specify the information as required.

    Alternatively, you can click Edit in the detail view and edit all fields at once.

  4. Click Save.

Setting Contacts

Certain business use cases may require to define or change the contacts that are assigned to an invoice. To select new contacts for a draft invoice, proceed as follows:

  1. Open the invoice you want to modify.
  2. Click Set Contacts.
  3. Specify the contacts as required.
  4. Click Save.

    This sets the selected contacts for the current draft invoice and fills the address fields.

Setting Business Entity

You can define or change the business entity for draft invoices.

  1. Open the invoice you want to modify.
  2. Click Set Business Entity.
  3. Select a business entity.

    The picklist includes the business entities defined using the corresponding custom setting.

  4. Click Save.

    This sets the selected business entity for the current invoice.

Modifying Invoice Line Items

Invoice line items represent the product information of billable items in an invoice. This information will be part of the invoice PDF copy, and the included pricing details are the base for calculating the invoice total.

Adding Invoice Line Items

There are several ways for creating invoice line items:

To manually add an invoice line item to a draft invoice from scratch:

  1. Open the invoice you want to modify.
  2. Open the Invoice Line Items list.
  3. Click New.
  4. Specify the information as required.

    The mandatory information include the product title, unit price, quantity and tax rate.

  5. Click Save.

To clone an invoice line item:

  1. Open the invoice you want to modify.
  2. Open the Invoice Line Items list.
  3. Click the number of the invoice line item to be cloned to open its detail view.
  4. Click Clone.

    This displays the product title, unit price, quantity and tax rate of the invoice line item to be cloned.

  5. Click Clone.

    This creates a duplicate of the current invoice line item, including all available information, and adds it to the current invoice.

To manually add an invoice line item to a draft invoice based on a pricebook entry:

  1. Open the invoice you want to modify.
  2. Open the Invoice Line Items list.
  3. Click New Line Item from Product.
  4. Select the intended pricebook and pricebook entry.
  5. Specify at least the quantity and the tax rate.
  6. Click Save.

    This saves the new invoice line item and returns you to the invoice detail page.

To modify invoice line item data in a draft invoice:

  1. Open the invoice you want to modify.
  2. Open the Invoice Line Items list.
  3. Click Edit in the row of the invoice line item you want to modify.
  4. Modify the data as required.
  5. Click Save.

If set up accordingly (see Setting Up Invoice Line Item Mass Editing), you can edit multiple invoice line items at once:

  1. Open the invoice you want to modify.
  2. Open the Invoice Line Items list.
  3. Click Edit All.

    Mass-editing invoice line items

  4. Modify the data as required.

    The data available for editing depends on your configuration. For details, see Configuring Mass Edit Fields.

  5. Click Save.

    This saves the modified invoice line items and returns you to the invoice detail page.

    With large data sets, mass editing invoice line items may produce errors because of execution limits. To circumvent these exceptions, we recommend to edit the relevant invoice line items individually.

Invoice line item mass-edit options

The Edit All page provides the following editing options:

Action Description
Edit Opens the current invoice line item in the Edit Invoice Line Item dialog in a new browser tab/window.
Del Removes the current invoice line item.
This immediately deletes the invoice line item after confirming the notice dialog. Clicking Cancel does not undo this action.
New Line Item Adds a new invoice line item, prompting you to provide the mandatory information.
Quick Save Saves your current modifications and leaves you on the Edit All page.
Save Saves your modifications and returns you to the invoice detail page.

Configuring Payment Due Date Calculation

Usually, JustOn determines the Payment Due Date of an invoice adding the value of Payment Due (in days) to the set Invoice Date.

Payment due date: General concepts

Usually, JustOn determines the Payment Due Date of an invoice adding the value of Payment Due (in days) to the set Invoice Date. That is,

Payment Due Date = Invoice Date + Payment Due

The invoice date is set on invoice finalization. For draft invoices, that is, those that are not yet finalized, JustOn displays a preliminary due date based on the current date (Today + Payment Due).

The payment due (the number of days to be added) is fetched – in this order – either from

  • the invoice source record (PaymentDue on the subscription or ON_PaymentDue on another source object)
  • the field Default Payment Due on the account, or
  • the field Default Payment Due on the template.

If you have not set a default payment due on the account or the template, JustOn defaults to 0.

Once the invoice is finalized, you can no longer modify the payment due date. You can, however, postpone the payment due date for open and draft invoices. Doing so suspends applicable payment collections and dunning procedures for the specified time.

Your business may, however, require a more flexible way for determining the Payment Due Date – like, for example, you want it always to be set automatically to the last day of the next month. To this end, use the Invoice field Payment Due Condition. It provides a way to define a custom calculation for the Payment Due Date and for the Payment Due value.

JustOn evaluates the Payment Due Condition

  • on invoice creation,
  • when setting a date on (draft) invoices,
  • on invoice finalization.

Note

Each evaluation recalculates the values for Payment Due Date and Payment Due. Hence, do not set Payment Due when using Payment Due Condition.

The following table lists the calculation options for Payment Due Condition and illustrates the behavior:

Pattern Result Example Invoice Date Example Payment Due Condition Calculated Payment Due (Date)
xd Adds x days to the invoice date. 2018-01-01 14d 14 (2018-01-15)
xd eom Adds x days to the invoice date, then goes to the last day of the month. 2018-05-20 14d eom 41 (2018-06-30)
eom Starting from the invoice date, goes to the last day of the month. 2018-02-05 eom 23 (2018-02-28)
xd y Adds x days to the invoice date, then goes to the next yth day of the month. 2018-01-01 14d 10 40 (2018-02-10)
eom y Goes to the last day of the month, then goes to the next yth day of the next month. 2018-02-12 eom 10 26 (2018-03-10)
y Starting from the invoice date, goes to next yth day of the month. 2018-02-12 16 4 (2018-02-16)
xd eom y Adds x days to the invoice date, then goes to the last day of the month, then goes to the next yth day of the next month. 2018-05-20 14d eom 20 61 (2018-07-20)

The spelling of eom in the picklist values does not matter – you can use lowercase, all caps or mixed-case spelling. JustOn converts the letters to lowercase before processing the payment due condition.

To set the payment due condition for a draft invoice:

  1. Open the invoice you want to modify.
  2. Double-click the Payment Due Condition field and specify the intended calculation condition.
  3. Click Save.

Info

As an alternative to the manual configuration, you can have JustOn set the payment due condition automatically.

  • When creating invoices from subscriptions, you can set the Payment Due Condition field on the subscription.
  • When creating invoices from other objects using the generic invoice run, you create the ON field ON_PaymentDueCondition on the source object to have these values set on the resulting invoice.
  • To define payment due conditions on an account-specific basis, you create and set the ON field ON_PaymentDueCondition on the account.

Next steps:

Postponing Payment Due Date

Certain circumstances may require to postpone the payment due date for invoices. This suspends applicable payment collections and dunning procedures for the specified time.

To defer the payment due date for draft or open invoices:

  1. Open the invoice you want to modify.
  2. Click Postpone Due Date.
  3. In the field Deferral in Days, specify the intended number of days.
  4. Click Save.

    This postpones the Next Payment Due Date for the current invoice by the specified number of days.

Applying Order Discount

The order discount reduces to the subtotal net value of an invoice (which represents an order). This percentage-based discount is applied to the sum of the invoice line item prices and, consequently, "distributed" proportionally to the relevant invoice line items. Using this discount type also reduces the tax amount subsequently.

Invoice line items with the checkbox Exclude From Order Discount selected are exempt from the order discount calculation.

Note

If you use deposit invoicing or pro forma invoicing, be aware that JustOn does not consider order discounts with the deposit or pro forma invoices, but only when generating the final invoices.

Make sure that the order discount feature is set up accordingly.

To to grant a discount on the subtotal net value of an invoice (which represents an order), proceed as follows:

  1. Open the invoice you want to modify.
  2. Click Set Order Discount.
  3. Specify the (percentage) discount value as required.
  4. Click Save.

    This immediately applies the discount to the invoice and its line items. The following subtotal rows are then displayed:

    Row Description
    Subtotal (net) The sum of all total net values of the invoice line items without order discount.
    Order Discount (X.X%) Shows the discount percentage and the discount amount.
    Subtotal (discounted) Subtotal (net) minus order discount amount.

    If there is no order discount defined, the invoice will display only the subtotal (net).

Applying Invoice Discount

The invoice discount (temporarily) reduces the grand total of the invoice. It is applicable to the total gross value for a defined time frame – usually in order to motivate the buyer to make the payment within this specific time.

If JustOn registers a payment that covers the discounted grand total within the granted period, it generates two balances: one of the type Payment for the actually paid amount, and another one of the type Clearing – specifying the clearing reason Discount – for the difference (see Standard Balance Types). The two balances offset the grand total, which sets the invoice Paid.

Info

Balances of the type Clearing and with a specified clearing reason are taken into account when generating booking details from balances.

The relevant fields on the invoice include:

Field Data Type Default Value Description
Discount Rate Percent(2,1) Specifies the discount percentage by which the grand total is to be reduced. Is the calculation base for all discount-related fields.
Discount Payment Due Number(3,0) 14 Specifies the time (in days) after which the discounted payment is due.

Info

JustOn determines the values for the related fields Discount Amount, Discount Payment Due Date and Discounted Grand Total when the discount rate and the discount payment due are set.

To set an invoice discount for a draft invoice:

  1. Open the invoice you want to modify.
  2. Double-click the Discount Rate field and specify the percentage by which the grand total is to be reduced.
  3. Optionally, double-click the Discount Payment Due field and modify the time during which the discounted total is due.

    The default period is 14 days.

  4. Click Save.

Info

You can also use the Discount Rate and Discount Payment Due fields on the subscription or, with other source objects, corresponding ON fields to have these values set automatically during the invoice run.

Using Installments

To support staged payment plans for invoices, JustOn allows for setting up installments, which represent models for intended payment plans.

The service period of the first invoice line item spans two quarters, so the price of 120,00 will be distributed over two installments of 60,00 each. The service period of the second invoice line item is within the first quarter, so the complete price of 46,00 is added to the first installment, which results in 106,00:

Title Service Period Start Service Period End Amount
Installment 1 2019-04-01 2019-06-30 106,00

To display the service period in the installment table on the invoice PDF, specify the following configuration in the Installment Columns Template field: Title__c;ServicePeriodStart__c;ServicePeriodEnd__c;Amount__c.

Defining Installment Type

If installments are set up accordingly, you can define an installment type for an invoice.

  1. Open the invoice you want to modify.
  2. Double-click the Installment Type field and select the intended payment plan from the drop-down list.

    Alternatively, you can click the invoice number to open the invoice, click Edit in the detail view, and then select the payment plan from the Installment Type picklist.

  3. Click Save.

    This activates the selected installment type for the invoice.

This triggers the automatic payment plan generation when selecting the invoice in the list view and finalizing it or when re-generating it in the continuous invoice run.

If installments are set up accordingly, you can manually create a payment plan for invoices in the statuses Draft or Open.

Make sure that the Installments button is available in the invoice layout. For help about modifying page layouts, see Managing Pages.

  1. Open the invoice you want to modify.
  2. Click Installments.

    The invoice needs a date set to complete the operation.

  3. Select the intended installment type.

  4. Click Continue.

    This creates the payment plan, applying the selected installment type.

    You can overwrite existing payment plans selecting and applying another installment type.

Info

After integrating with JustOn Cash Management, changing the installments of a finalized invoice will delete all existing related entries and create new entries based on the new installments. As a consequence, the payment page links on the invoice and installments, which relate to the deleted entries, become invalid and will therefore be deleted. In order to set valid payment links again, you must update the links.

Deleting Payment Plan

You can delete an existing payment plan.

  1. Open the invoice you want to modify.
  2. Click Installments.
  3. In the Installment Type picklist, select None.
  4. Click Continue.

    This deletes the installments from the invoice.

Cloning an Invoice

Certain business use cases require an invoice to be cloned. Cloning an invoice creates a copy of the current invoice in the status Draft. By default, the copied data includes:

  • the account,
  • the invoice template,
  • contact data (if available) and
  • the invoice line items.

Upon cloning, you can modify this data as required.

To clone an invoice:

  1. Open the invoice you want to clone.
  2. Click Clone.
  3. Modify the data as required.

    The mandatory information include the account to which the new invoice will be related and the invoice template used to render the PDF copy.

  4. Optionally, select/deselect the invoice line items.

  5. Click Clone.

    This creates a cloned draft copy of the current invoice, opening it in the detail view, ready for being edited as required.

    Note that cloning an invoice does not consider the tax delta.

Recreating Invoice PDF

Usually, JustOn generates a PDF file when finalizing an invoice. In certain business use cases, you may need to recreate the PDF file for an already finalized invoice (status Open). Doing so does not modify any invoice data.

Info

Regenerating the invoice PDF does not constitute a suitable means to correct an invoice. In case of wrong billing data or formal invoice errors, you usually

  • cancel the invoice
  • correct the source data as necessary, and
  • create a new invoice.

For details, see How to correct an invoice.

To recreate the PDF file of a finalized invoice from its detail view:

  1. Open the finalized invoice for which you want to regenerate the PDF file.

    Make sure that the option for recreating PDF files is enabled for your org.

  2. Click Recreate PDF, then click Continue to confirm and complete the operation.

    This creates a new version of the PDF file.

    Note that this operation does not update text blocks with placeholders.
