Question

We have a use case where we enter a lot of sales orders for $0 sale price Essentially we are just doing this to sell materials to the job eg capture COGS on a project However Netsuite still wants us to create an invoice for the sales order even though the total is $0 Is there any way to bypass the invoice step I noticed we can select Close Order but does anyone know what the implications of closing the sales order are

Why don t you just create straight invoices

Cory Weiner · Answer

< michoel> An invoice doesn t relieve inventory afaik

KevinJ of Kansas · Answer

A standalone invoice would relieve inventory

KevinJ of Kansas · Answer

but it wouldn t trigger the need to perform a fulfillment so it would depend on whether you are telling someone go do inventory or just recording it coming out of inventory later

Closing the sales order is fine This can be achieved with a scheduled workflow if you want to avoid scripting If you do want to just create the invoice use billing operations to do this It s a standard feature that is very robust
