Posting Customer Invoices 

Use

In this process, you post an open item for either customer 1175 in Germany, or customer 3350 in North America. The customer is to pay the invoice in cash. You then enter the payment in the cash journal.

You post the invoice directly in Financial Accounting, there is no integration with Sales and Distribution. This makes it easier to post backdated invoices.
