Contents of the Invoice Options Dialog Box of Intercompany Billing

Use these fields and options to specify the invoice date and service period dates for invoices generated during the session, confirm or change the next invoice number, and, optionally, override the default invoice template.

Field	Description
Invoice Date	Specify the invoice date to use for invoices that you generate during this intercompany billing session. This date then displays in the header area of the Intercompany Billing form. If your company requires that transaction dates fall within the current fiscal year or current fiscal period, the default invoice date is the end date of the currently active accounting period, but you can override that date either by entering a different date in this field or by entering a different date in Transaction Date on the Posting Information tab, as long as the new invoice date falls within the current fiscal year or current fiscal period. If your company does not require that transaction dates fall within the current fiscal year or current fiscal period, the default invoice date is today, but you can change that date in this field.
Period Start Date	Specify the service period start date for the intercompany invoices. The service period start and end dates display in the header area of the Intercompany Billing form and on the professional services line of the intercompany invoices generated during the current intercompany billing run. This date range is for presentation on the invoices only. It is not used to select the transactions included on the invoices.
Period End Date	Specify the service period end date for the intercompany invoices. The service period start and end dates display in the header area of the Intercompany Billing form and on the professional services line of the intercompany invoices generated during the current intercompany billing run. This date range is for presentation on the invoices only. It is not used to select the transactions included on the invoices.
Next Invoice Number	This field displays the next invoice number to be used when you generate final intercompany invoices. This number increases by one for each new invoice generated. If you want to generate the intercompany invoices using a different starting invoice number and Vantagepoint is set up to allow changes to the system-maintained next invoice number, enter that number in this field. If you override the system-maintained invoice number sequence by entering a different next invoice number, you are essentially defining the start of a new invoice number sequence. Going forward, Vantagepoint automatically maintains that new sequence for subsequent billing sessions. It does not automatically revert to the previous sequence. If you want it to revert to the previous sequence after your billing session, you must manually reset the next invoice number accordingly.
Invoice Template Override	Invoices listed in the Intercompany Invoices on File grid on the Invoices on File tab display or print using the invoice templates shown for them in the Invoice Template column of the grid. Those templates are assigned on the Subledger Terms tab of the Intercompany Billing Setup form in the desktop application. (None in the Invoice Template column indicates that no default template is specified for that invoice. In that case, the default invoice format is used.) To use another template instead of the default templates when you view or print invoices, select that template in this field. If you select an override template, that template is applied to all intercompany invoices.
