How do I invoice a payment status to the contractor (vendor bill)?

Steps

  1. In the project form, fill in Contractor with the contact of the company you pay.
  2. Choose Purchase in Type Invoice: in the certification's Other tab while it is in Draft, or directly in the payment status before validating it.
  3. Create the payment status from the certification or from the menu and check that its Type Invoice is Purchase.
  4. Check Apply retention, Discount % and Advance Payment % and click Validate.
  5. Click Generate Invoice: the draft vendor bill is created to the Contractor, with the product's purchase taxes and that contact's vendor payment term.
  6. Check the draft in Accounting and post it.
Warning

Without a Contractor on the project, "You must specify a contractor on the project before creating a vendor bill." appears.

Site note

To invoice several purchase payment statuses in a single invoice use Actions › Mass billing of states; all must be of type Purchase.

The product is the project's Payment Status Product or, if it has none, the one in Settings › Bim 2.0 › INVOICING.
