The Invoice Schedule<\/strong> in iDempiere lets you define recurring invoicing rules<\/strong> for a business partner (usually a customer). Invoice schedules help you automatically generate summary or batch invoices<\/strong> at specified intervals instead of invoicing each shipment or delivery separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is especially useful when a customer requires periodic consolidated billing<\/strong> (e.g., weekly or monthly invoices for multiple deliveries).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Reduces manual invoicing effort<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Ensures consistent billing frequency<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Consolidates multiple shipments into single invoices<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Improves cash flow predictability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Where Invoice Schedules Are Used<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
