If you confirmed that indeed the item is expecting an invoice, then you should check the item's Invoice Completed status by following the steps below:

  1. Go to Purchase Requests and Orders work center.
  2. Go to Purchase Orders view
  3. Search for the Purchase Order's ID.
  4. Click in Edit button.
  5. Navigate to Items tab.

If for this item the Invoicing status was manually finished, you cannot invoice the Inbound Delivery.

Or

If the Invoice Status of the Inbound Delivery is marked as Not Relevant , the Inbound delivery ID will not be visible for Invoicing when searched.

In such cases, a backend correction is required to change the status. Post which the document will be available for invoicing.

Resolution

You can manually revoke the invoicing status for this item in the Purchase Order.

  1. Follow the steps you made to check the Item's Invoicing status.
  2. Click on Resume button.
  3. Select Invoice.

Then the 'Invoice Completed' status will be revoked. Now you should be able to invoice this item.
