(0) ShareShare

Posted on by t_lundoe 8

Hi

I am currently in the process of assisting a customer who has a finnish entity. On the Purhase Order/Invoice - in Shipping and Payment - there is a mandatory field: Invoice message

Can somebody help me understand this field and how it is supposed to be filled?

Thanks

    Finnish localization: Help with "Invoice message" field on Purchase Invoice
    Hi,

    I have the same question and so far no one has answered any part of this mystery.

    We know where the fields are and what they could contain. What we don't know is still all the important parts:

    1. What it is. Microsoft has no documentation of it?

    2. Where do I change so that this isn't a problem anymore. I checked Purchase setup and changed something that sounded right but no... nothing.

    3. What is the best way to disable it? Just make it non-mandatory?

    Is there anyway to make this field not mandatory?

    yes, if it is reference no type then you have to enter only the numbers related to vendor reference

    Invoice Information then if you have Our account No. filled then it is adding OurAccountNo. + someother data (I need to check the code)

    If it is message etc. then it is a free text

    Okay - I see that. But it looks mandatory no matter which type I chose.

    It depends on the Message Type field option you selected.

    Reference No./Invoice Information/Message etc.

    Hi - and thanks!

    But it is not optional at my customer - the invoice can't be posted without it being filled. And I don't know if it has something to do with electroning invoicing in Finland?

    Hi,

    Invoice message is a free-text field where you can provide additional information related to the invoice or purchase order.

    you can give any reference number or any specific description.

    Thanks,
