Use the Free text invoice and Post free text invoice forms to create and post a free text invoice and generate the invoice as an .xml file. The .xml file is then converted to the Offentlig Information Online Universal Business Language (OIOUBL) format. You can generate electronic invoices for customers for whom you have specified a European Article Numbering (EAN) number in the EAN field and selected the eInvoice check box in the Customers form.

  2. Double-click a free text invoice or click Free text invoice to create a free text invoice. For more information, see Key tasks: Free text invoices.

  3. On the Action Pane, click Header view, and then click the General FastTab.

    Note

    If you clear the Line-specific check box, you can specify the dimension account for the free text invoice in the Dimension account field on the General FastTab in Header view.

When the batch job for electronic sales invoices is processed, invoices for customers who have an EAN number assigned are generated as .xml files. The .xml files are then converted to the OIOUBL format. The resulting OIOUBL files are created in the shared folder that is specified for the EInvoiceFileTransform_OIOUBL batch job task for the sales order batch job.
