Forced electronic invoices generation

This article explains how to configure the forced generation of electronic invoice files immediately after related customer invoices are posted, regardless of the printing options that are selected.

Prerequisites

1. In the Feature management workspace, turn on the Forced electronic invoices generation feature. For more information, see Feature management overview.
2. Configure the system to enable electronic invoice generation. Although the configuration of electronic invoices is a country/region-specific process, it includes common steps that used for all supported countries and regions. For an example, see Norwegian electronic invoices.

Post invoices

After you turn on the Forced electronic invoices generation feature, two scenarios are possible when you post invoices:

• If no Electronic reporting (ER) destinations are defined for electronic invoice formats, output files for electronic invoices are generated on the Electronic reporting jobs page. To view these files, go to Organization administration > Electronic reporting > Electronic reporting jobs, select a job, and then select Show files. Then select Open to download the file for the electronic invoice.
• If ER destinations are defined for electronic invoice formats, the output files that are generated are sent to a related file destination that is configured for the ER destination.

For more information about ER destinations, see Electronic reporting destinations.

Note

The Forced electronic invoices generation feature isn't applicable to Italy. Italian electronic invoices depend only on the existence of related ER destinations. They always disregard printing options that are used during invoice posting.
