Sales Order auto Invoicing

[brilliantben]

Hi This is my first post so hopefully it will be a successful one

We are a project based business with lots of transactions per client. We need to take deposits and then invoice the goods accordingly taking off the deposit where necessary.

I think the easiest way to do this is by using a sales order but every time an item is dispatched sage creates an invoice, this will bombard our clients with invoices. Does any one know if there is a way to stop sage auto creating an invoice every time an item is dispatched. To be honest i think the answer is that this is not possible but i just wanted to make sure

We are using Sage 50 Accounting professional 2011.

Thanks in advance for your help

There is no way to stop sage creating the invoices, however, there are ways you can consolidate invoices.

The easiest way is to create a layout that prints multiple invoices in one go, on one page.

The less easy but more expensive method would be to have some sort of external consolidation system that took invoices in the invoicing module that were generated from from SOP, removes them and then puts them back in consolidated form.
