To use Miscellaneous Invoicing in the Sales Ledger:
From the Rev.8 master menu select the Sales Ledger option and the company you require.
Click the OK button.
The SALES LEDGER menu is displayed.
Select the Miscellaneous Invoicing option.
Click the OK button.
The Miscellaneous Invoicing form is displayed.
This enables you to issue the invoices that have previously been created using the Maintain Blanket Invoices option. Bear in mind you should have selected a "Forms" type of printer prior to selecting this menu option, and also entered a directory within SL System Parameters if you are going to use the Batch Feed option. A warning message is displayed if either of these two conditions has not been satisfied. It is possible to continue through these messages by clicking the "OK" button when the warning message is displayed.
Invoicing Mode: There are two option buttons to choose from, providing the Batch Feed directory has been entered within SL System Parameters . Batch Feed invoicing is used in circumstances where customers are transferring information from another [3rd party] system, usually with some sort of interface to Autoline, to enable them to use this information in conjunction with Miscellaneous Invoicing. Hence the detail of this particular function cannot be discussed in this help topic. Autoline will default to Blanket Invoice, but you can amend it to Batch Feed Invoice if the prerequisite has been satisfied as discussed above. Blanket Invoice simply means you can issue the invoice prepared within Maintain Blanket Invoices for the relevant account(s).
Code: This field is for the selection of the Blanket Invoice, and you can either typed it in or alternatively use the ellipsis 
button, where a list of Misc codes is displayed. Once the code has been selected a field next to the selection box shows which code has been selected.
Batch file location: If the Batch Feed facility is being used, information will be populated in this field.
NL Document Type: By using the ellipsis button, you can see a list of valid NL Journal Types in the search window, and a choice can be made from there. Usually you will leave it to default to blank, which is usually the Default journal type.
Document Date: An ellipsis button is featured , where a calendar search can be performed, enabling you to select the document date of your choice. Alternatively you can accept the default or type in the date of your choice.
Posting Date: Again, an ellipsis button is featured, where a calendar search can be performed, enabling you to select the posting date of your choice. Alternatively you can accept the default or type in the date of your choice.
2 Copies: This is a tick box, simply allowing two copies of the printed invoice to be produced, or not, depending on whether the box is checked or not.
BUTTONS:
Exit: Returns you to the Sales Ledger main menu
Help: Displays help on the current application in your default company browser
Align: Prints a dummy document to allow you to align the invoice on the appropriate stationery loaded on your printer
Print: Prints the invoice. This invokes a grid that displays the invoice number(s) processed, and whether the invoice printing has completed or not [this is illustrated by a status bar]. You can continue the process by clicking the Continue button, and complete it by clicking the Exit button.
Help: Accesses the online Help facility
Print Daybooks: Performs the postings associated with printing the invoices
