How to Split "Open" Shipment. Possible to generate 2 invoices

Wondering if it is possible to create 2 invoices and 2 separate dispatch consignments from the one “open” shipment.

Example :

Order is generated via online platform then integrated with Acumatica.

Warehouse “Opens” order and creates picking slip

Some orders may contain “dangerous goods” which will be required to be sent separately with another carrier

As customer has already paid for goods we want to be able to separate and generate the 2 invoices. 1 each to accompany the package.

If not, anybody have suggestions

Thanks

Hi @APalmer,
 

In the process of invoice creation, the system is looking at:

1) Bill Separately in orders

2) The identity of the "financial settings" of orders (Terms, Tax Zone, Location, etc)

If any of these are different, you can have multiple invoice for a single shipment.

So if you WANT multiple invoices for the same customer and location, then the Bill Separately checkbox can be selected.

But if the shipment has lines all for the same order same customer, same location, I'm not sure if you can do that.

FYI, Bill Separately is on the Order Types screen and you can select it from the sales order screen also.

Bill separately will mean they bill each order separately.

Please see if below workaround steps will work for you:

Create Multiple Shipments through the sales order and generate invoices separately 

According to standard functionality, when there is an open shipment (not confirmed yet), it is not possible to generate another shipment for the open quantity that is not included in the existing shipment.

When an open shipment exists, the Create Shipment Action is disabled.

 

 

Only upon confirming the shipment will the Create Shipment option be enabled.

 

 

Then you can generate separate invoices per shipment. 

 

Thanks!
