Practice 10-3: Creating Invoice Methods

Overview
Vision Corporation uses project contracts to create invoices for consulting services in the United
States. The consulting services organizations are within the Consulting Services project unit,
which is part of the US1 business unit. The implementation team defines invoice methods that
calculate invoice amounts and create invoices for contracts. Each invoice method uses a
predefined invoice method classification, which is the source used to calculate invoice amounts.
This implementation environment contains several invoice method classifications that were
previously created. These are:
• Amount Based
• Percent Complete
• Percent Spent
• Rate Based
In this practice, you create an invoice method for each predefined invoice method classification.
The invoice methods you create in this practice are for contracts that bill external parties. These
are not enabled for intercompany billing.
