  • Show customer order number: Shows the customer order number (External document number) on the invoice;
  • Show vs reference: Show your reference on the invoice;
  • Insert Line Comments: Reports shipping line comments, in the invoice line comments.

Functionality

If the Show Order No. flag in the Origins Setup is activated, the sales invoice will also show the original sales order number of the document in addition to the shipment number.

If the Show Customer Order No. flag in the Origins Setup is activated, the sales invoice will show the customer's sales order number as well as the shipment number: the description of the field shown in the sales invoice is Your Order , while the value of this field depends on that of the external document number in the sales order.

If the Show Your Reference flag in the Origins Setup is activated, the sales invoice will also show the Customer Reference in addition to the shipment number: the description of the field shown in the sales invoice is Your Reference , while the value of this field depends on that of your reference in the sales order.
