ABCDEF stands for the internal account number

No printer output channel for the customer invoice is created in accounts .

You're using web service method "CustomerBundleMaintenanceCheckRequest_sync_V1" - this is only a _check_ method which returns

a success XML in case the corresponding maintenance succeeds.(the "....Check..." simply leaves out the Save and resets the transaction after trying to book the changes).

Method "CustomerBundleMaintainRequest_sync_V1" is the correct method where real maintenance is performed and saved.
