The new delta invoicing allows Advendio ONE users to invoice the differences in the invoice amount after optimization of the campaign item instead of creating the pre-invoice of all the transactions being reversed and then the new one being added. Delta invoicing would show the exact difference +/- at the invoice item level for each period in one pre-invoice.During optimization, Delta invoicing only issue optimize and adjust their campaign items without reversing all previously invoiced invoices and invoice items. During optimization or after saving the changes on the Campaign items, Delta invoicing only issues the delta of the changes and does not impact the invoicing if the optimization or adjustment is not related to financial result. However, optimization pdf should still show the change, but financial value of the change is 0change.
How to enable the Delta invoicing?
Delta invoicing can be enabled in the Administration setting
...
Important: Once delta is enabled no other optimization source can be used for optimization of campaign items. May it be source Order Optimization/Proactive or Order Amendment/Reactive
...
When the Enable Delta Invoicing checkbox is selected to true then the license for Delta Invoicing has to be checked, the token is: “ADVENDIO__DELTA_INVOICING”.
If it is not there a “feature not active” message will shown

Once Delta invoicing is enabled it should never be disabled again. This will call the new Delta Preinvoice generation which can not be reversed.
Pre-requisites to enable delta invoicing

Once the user presses the Yes button, the system checks if there is an accounting period (like for a billing run). If there is no accounting period it shows the error:
...
And will not save the changes.
Accounting periods
When an Accounting Periods Object Invoicing Closed field is marked as true a Validation runs to check if there are open pre-invoices assigned to this Accounting Period (Invoice__c.AccountingPeriod__c). If there’s no pre-invoice assigned, it saves the changes to the Accounting Period. And shows an error message if there are open pre-invoices and restricts it from closing.

When there are pre-invoices without the accounting period the preinvoice generation will assign an accounting period to all the preinvoices on the org. If the runtime of the campaign item is in the future and accounting periods are not yet created, the accounting period will stay empty and when it is created it will be assigned to the Preinvoice with the next preinvoice generation. |
How do you know that this is Delta Pre-Invoice generation?
There is a simple hit to recognize that there is a Delta Preinvoice generation enabled on the org:
We do not create a unique key on the invoice
We assign the Accounting period to the Preinvoices
