Processing Invoices
Shipping an order automatically creates a pending invoice, which you can print in draft format, review, update as needed, and then post and optionally print.

Invoicing Cycle
If you are using containers and shippers, based on a control program setting, these invoices can be posted and printed when the shipment is processed, eliminating the need for separate steps. See Posting Invoices at Confirmation for details.
