2862379 - How To Work With Invoice Runs

Invoices are created, either manually or as part of an invoice run, for the delivery of products or the provision of services and are used for charging customers. They result from predecessor documents such as sales orders, service orders, and service confirmations. It is also possible to create manual invoicing documents such as manual invoice, credit memo, and down payment requests without reference to preceding business transaction documents outside Customer Invoicing.

Regarding Scheduled Invoice Requests, every night, a regular job automatically runs and checks the invoice dates. Per default the horizon taken into consideration is three days before the invoice date. This job creates scheduled invoice requests for the scheduled invoice dates. This is also a run in the system.
