The system informs you that it has read and scheduled the network.

The elevator ordered by the customer will be manufactured in a project and material E-1001 is linked to a standard network. The network created in the sales order is copied from the standard network. The network determines the progress of the project, in other words, the chronological sequence of the individual project steps.

You reach the PS: order: Availability Control screen.

The network scheduling determines a final date for the project and in the Availability Control screen, the system informs you that, in accordance with current planning, the order item cannot be confirmed until this date.

The customer will be invoiced for the sales order item with a billing plan. The total value of the item is billed in two partial invoices as the project progresses. The final invoice is for any amount outstanding after both partial invoices have been paid. You have also agreed with the customer that they pay 10 per cent of the total value as a down payment. The planned billing dates have been taken from the network that was created in the background for the sales order item. All dates have been blocked for billing (Block field) because the actual dates have not yet been confirmed. The block is removed once the milestones assigned to these dates in the network have been confirmed as completed.

Select the second schedule line and choose .

In the Assembly section, the system displays the sequential number of the network that was created when you created the order item. When you save this sales order, this number is replaced by a final network number.

This indicator specifies that the scheduled date for the activity is to be copied into the billing plan for the sales order. The InvoicePercentg field displays the percentage amount in the invoice or required for a down payment for the date. The milestone is linked to the down payment date in the billing plan.

Select activity 2000 and choose .

This activity is linked to two milestones.

Select both milestone lines and choose .

When the first milestone is confirmed, the second partial invoice for the billing plan is released, which bills the customer for the remaining 70 per cent of the total order value.

Choose .

When the second milestone Final bill - correction is confirmed, the system removes the billing block for a final invoice. The final invoice can contain any remaining amounts that still need to be paid. This might be necessary, for example, if you agree to increase the price during the project after partial invoices, based on the old price, have already been created.
