To release several invoices together, proceed as follows:

  1. From the Invoice Verification screen, choose Further processing ® Release invoices. The initial screen for releasing invoices is displayed.
  2. On the initial screen you must determine:
    1. which invoices are to be selected
    2. whether the baseline date for payment should be changed
    3. the layout of the list

    When you press ENTER the system displays the list of invoices.

  3. Process the list.
  4. Since you cannot release invoices on item level, you must switch to the totals display. Make sure that the cursor is not on an item line and choose Edit ® Total.

    A window appears in which the totals variants are listed. It is only possible to release an invoice for the totals variants defined for the standard system (Document totals and Vendor totals).

    A window appears in which the totals variants are listed.

  5. Select a totals variant (Document total or Vendor total). The system displays the totaled list.
  6. Choose Edit ® Collective release. The system displays all the listed lines. By positioning the cursor and selecting Edit ® Activate/deactivate, you can activate individual lines or deactivate active lines. You can also activate or deactivate all the lines.
  7. After you have activated the lines you want, choose Invoice item ® Save release.
  8. If you specified on the initial screen that you want to change the baseline date for payment, see step 7, if not continue with step 8.

  9. A window appears in which you enter the new baseline date for payment. Today's date is proposed by the system. You can change the date if you wish and then press ENTER.
  10. The system releases the invoices in the active lines. You receive a message indicating how many invoices have been released.

The released invoices are not deleted from the list but they are deactivated and cannot be reactivated.
