Auto-Invoice Against Goods Receipts

If your customer supports the auto-invoice feature you will be able to enable it in your SAP Business Network account. This feature is only supported for customers and suppliers located in the USA or Australia. Suppliers must consent to automatic invoice creation. To consent, complete the following steps:

1. From the Company Settings dropdown menu, select Customer Relationships.
   
2. If this option is available, click Automatic Invoice Acceptance.
   
3. Locate your customer, from the actions dropdown menu, and select Confirm Automatic Invoice Creation.
   
   Note: Your company’s Tax Identifier is mandatory on invoices and is required to ensure the Goods Receipt Notice flips into a tax invoice. Add Tax Identifier in the Tax ID section of the Network Settings under Electronic Invoice Routing.
   Once enabled, invoices will be auto-generated when the customer sends Goods Receipts via SAP Business Network. Depending on the Goods Receipt type either Invoices or Credit Memos are created.
