The Proof of Delivery program reads the ArInvoice table to ascertain if an invoice exists.
When the number provided is a Credit note:
If the credit note was processed using the AR Invoice Posting program and linked to an invoice, then you need to query that invoice as the credit note information is held against the ArInvoicePay table. The proof of delivery information for the credit note can therefore not be displayed, so the information for the invoice is displayed.
If the credit note is not attached to an invoice, then the credit note information is held against the ArInvoice table, so the proof of delivery information for the credit note can be displayed.
The same applies when processing a credit note using the Sales Order Entry program. The proof of delivery information for the credit note is only stored when it is not associated with an invoice. When it is associated with an invoice, the credit note information is held against the SorReprintInv table and only the invoice's proof of delivery information can be viewed.
When a sub-account is detached from its master account and you access the Proof of Delivery program from a hyperlink other than in the Customer Query program, the customer number is not available.
The invoice number can therefore not be found and the SO Browse on Sales Invoices program is displayed.
The proof of delivery information is deleted when next you run the Month end function of the AR Period End program if the Consolidate brought-forward customers option is enabled (Accounts Receivable Setup).
To reprint an invoice, you must select the same document format that was used to print the invoice originally.
If a password has been defined against the SO Reprints in batch print option in the Password Definition program, you will be prompted for the password before you can print the invoice. Once a valid password is entered, you can reprint the invoice as many times as required.
