Sort sales invoice lines by packing slip

In Italy, companies must often issue accompanying invoices. Accompanying invoices are combinations of an ordinary invoice and a transport document or packing slip (documento di trasporto, or DDT).

Prerequisites

• The primary address of the legal entity must be in Italy.

• In the Feature management workspace, verify that the Sales invoice lines sorting by packing slips feature is turned on. For more information, see Feature management overview.

• Customer invoices must use the new SalesInvoice.Report_IT layout. Go to Accounts receivable /> Setup /> Forms /> Form setup, and then, on the General tab, select Print management. On the Print management setup page, under Module - accounts receivable > Customer invoice, select Original <Default>. Then, in the Report format field, select SalesInvoice.Report_IT.

  

Note

When the Sales invoice lines sorting by packing slips feature is turned on, the system ignores the setting of the Print packing slip specifications check box on the Invoice tab of the Form setup page (Accounts receivable > Setup > Forms > Form setup). Even if this check box is selected, it's treated as if it's cleared.

Printing accompanying invoices

After you've turned on and set up the feature, the printed invoice report will contain invoice lines that are grouped and sorted by packing slip.

Note

The new layout is applicable only to invoices that are based on sales orders. It isn't applicable to free-text invoices, because they don't use packing slips.
