Steps: Consolidated Customer Invoices

Steps: Consolidated Customer Invoices

Enable generation of unique IDs for consolidated customer invoices:
  • At the tenant level with the
    Edit Tenant Setup - Financials
    task.
  • At the company level with the
    Edit Company ID Definitions
    task.
You can consolidate up to 1,000 individual invoices into 1 invoice, simplifying presentation and payment. When a customer makes a payment, they can reference the consolidated invoice. You can then apply the payment to the individual invoices that make up the consolidated invoice. You can consolidate invoices that are:
  • For the same customer.
  • In the same currency.
  • For a parent customer and any of its child customers.
  • From different billing schedules.
  • In approved, unpaid status.
  • Not already consolidated.
  • Not part of another consolidated invoice.
This task doesn't support:
  • Consolidating customer invoices that use retention.
  • Direct intercompany invoices.
You can also include invoice adjustments and negative invoices to display an accurate balance. After you include an invoice adjustment in an approved consolidated invoice, you can't cancel, change, or update adjustment lines.
  1. Access the
    Create Consolidated Customer Invoice
    task.
    • Specify the customer, sponsor, invoice, and payment criteria. When you use more than 1 prompt, Workday creates consolidated invoices only for the customers that match all selected prompts.
    • You can't consolidate more than 1000 invoices at once.

  2. (Optional) Access the
    Schedule Create Consolidated Customer Invoice
    task to schedule the creation of consolidated customer invoices.
    • This task enables you to consolidate more than 1000 invoices.
    • To view the details of consolidated invoices for a given customer, select the
      Preview Invoices
      flag. You can also exclude specific customers before submitting.
    • To set a run date that's before the customer invoice date, specify an
      Invoice Date
      under the
      Number of Days the Run Date is Before
      section.
