Correction Invoice document - Corrected lines only

A printed correction invoice document shows all invoice lines before and after the change.
Issue:
We have invoices with sometimes more then 50 lines. When 1 line is changed, for example for the price,  50 ‘before correction’ lines are printed an 50 ‘after correction’ lines. Our users and customers complain that it is very hard to find the 1 line, which is corrected.

Work around available now
Use e correction reason code on the line and print the description on the Correction Invoice document.
This helps a bit in the quest to find the corrected line

Preferred solution:
Only print the lines, which are actually changed.
So from the example: Only print the original line and the Corrected line are printed

Any ideas how we can achieve this ?

Hi Pheeren,

The invoice printed is generated from IFS standard packages & the layout is viewed from the standard package it self. If you want only to get the correction lines then the standard report package needs to be updated (customized) to show the corrected lines only.

 

The solution/workaround suggested above (by yourself) would be the best possible option (as per my understanding) that we could utilise from the standard functionality.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the response

The reason code is only available for the corrected (new) line and not for the original one. So that will not work for us

We just figured out another solution, which is working for us.
We have added a Custom field 'Skip_Line_Print’ on the invoice lines. When the amount of the original and new line is unchanged in case of a correction invoice, there is no correction,so we set the field 'Skip_Line_Print’ :='Y’.
Now we have changed the Layout of the document.
Only lines with nvl('Skip_Line_Print’ ,'N') <> 'Y 'are printed.

Regards, Peter
