Invoice, Invoice and Campaign item Cancelations
The Delta Invoicing feature introduces significant enhancements to the handling of invoice and invoice item cancelations, as well as the integration of new functionality for campaign item processing. These improvements ensure greater consistency, accuracy, and streamlined workflows within the invoicing and pre-invoicing processes.
Invoice Cancelation
When Delta is enabled, canceling an invoice will:
Set the status of the invoice to "Canceled".
Set the status of each related invoice item to "Canceled".
Assign the Creation Type field of all created cancelation invoice items to "Cancelation".
New Field: The Creation Type field for invoice items was introduced during Delta development to facilitate better tracking and categorization.
Invoice Item Cancelation
Enhancements to invoice item cancelation include:
Automatic cancellation of Delta Adjustment and Technical Reversal invoice item types as a pair.
Continuation of setting the original invoice item’s status to "Canceled" during cancelation.
Assignment of the Creation Type field to "Cancelation" for all cancellation invoice items.
Campaign Item Cancelation
The Optimizer is now the sole interface for canceling campaign items. The Cancelation Wizard has been deprecated.
Key changes include:
Cancelation Campaign Items are now created only for campaign item cancelations. Other optimizations adjust the original campaign item directly.
Cancelation invoice items created through campaign item cancelations are now referenced to the canceled campaign item, rather than the cancellation campaign item.
A new Campaign Item Field called "Status" has been introduced:
Campaign item cancelations set this field to "Canceled".
The "Status" field cannot be altered outside the cancelation process.
Pre-Invoice Assignment Rules
Cancelation invoice items created by campaign item cancelation adhere to the same pre-invoice assignment rules as Delta Pre-Invoice Generation.
Key considerations:
Open accounting periods play a significant role in pre-invoice assignments.
Refer to the Pre-Invoice Generation for detailed insights.
Separation of Cancelation Invoices
Invoice and invoice item cancelations will not be assigned to non-cancelation pre-invoices.
Cancelation invoices maintain their separation by creating a dedicated cancelation invoice that clones the original invoice.
Package Cancellation in Optimizer
When Delta Invoicing is active, the Optimizer provides specialized handling for Packages when Selected Publication Dates are removed:
Full Unit Cancellation: Removing a publication date for a package triggers the cancellation of the entire package instance for that date.
Cascading Logic: The routine automatically cancels the Package Header instance and all sibling items (e.g., surcharges or components) belonging to the same package instance.
Billing Consistency: The system generates corresponding cancellation pre-invoice items for the entire package unit, ensuring that the billing records accurately reflect the adjustment.
