Forum Post: RE: Make invoice before Packing Slip in AX 2009 Account Payable

I believe you don't pay your vendors for the goods before you fully know the scope of delivery, so posting a full order invoice and not knowing the result of a delivery sounds improbable to me. So I believe that the AP just want to register the invoice and not put it away until the receipt is done. You would use the invoice register to input this information and set it up to wait to be processed before posting it. A lot can be batch automated.
