Hi Mokshith,

Thank you for reaching out to us on Microsoft Q&A forum. 

In Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365), managing multiple invoice shipments simultaneously is feasible. Whether you are using Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations or its successor, Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, the system offers flexibility for handling both invoicing and shipment processes.

Here’s an overview of how to manage multiple invoice shipments in D365:

1. Sales Order Management: You can create and manage sales orders, with each order potentially containing multiple lines. If you need to ship items in several shipments, you can process each shipment individually.
2. Packing and Shipments: A single sales order can have multiple packing slips and shipments. This allows items to be packed and shipped in several batches rather than all at once.
3. Invoicing: After processing shipments, you can generate invoices either for each shipment separately or as a consolidated invoice, depending on your needs and system configuration. D365 supports various invoicing options, including multiple invoice lines and different formats.
4. Batch Processing: D365 supports batch processing, allowing you to handle multiple shipments or invoices simultaneously. Batch jobs can be set up to process large volumes of transactions more efficiently.
5. Configuration and Customization: The system can be tailored to fit your organization’s specific needs regarding multiple shipments and invoicing. D365 provides options for configuration and customization to align with your business processes.
