This batch process generates invoices and acknowledgement letters, either individually from the Order Entry (ORD001) screen or in a batch.
The ORD660 report now prints a confirmation letter for meeting attendants.
The TIMSS System for Order Entry Management and Advertising Management will generate the invoice numbers, date, and "Invoiced" status after the ADV660 Advertising Invoicing or ORD660 Order Entry Invoicing reports are run in production mode.
ORD660 includes multiple setup options:
· ORD660_A – Generates invoices for all active orders
· ORD660_B – Generates acknowledgement letters for a specific meeting
· ORD660_C – Reprints invoices
· ORD660_D – Reprints acknowledgement letters
· ORD660_E – Processes specific issues
Additional parameters were added in the 7.2.1 release to accommodate Address Change Service functionality. Please see Address Change Service for more information.
As of 7.4.1SP1, ORD660 will not print invoice/acknowledgement for cancelled lines even if the "Line Status" parameter selected is C, as that parameter applies to Confirmation letters only.

Select or enter one of the following values for mode. · PROD- All qualified orders for which invoice or Ack letters have not been printed (i.e., print date is null) will be selected and process will update Invoice print date or letter print date for these orders. · EDIT - Will select the same orders as in PROD mode but will not update the print date, thus these orders will be selected in next run also. · RE-PRINT - Use this mode to reprint the invoices for orders that have already gone through the PROD mode, meaning that invoice print date or letter print date are not null. Reprint From Order No and Reprint Up To Order No parameters should be used when the process is run in RE-PRINT mode. |
Yes |
Subsystem |
Only used for selecting a report format and only used if Output Format Control parameter is set to AUTOMATIC. Can be used for invoices, acknowledgement letters and confirmation letters. Defaults to ALL. Only one value can be selected. This parameter does not filter order lines to be processed. Selects the report format to be used for order lines with the subsystem value selected here by selecting from the ORD660_Format_Map table where ORD660_Format_Map.SUBSYSTEM = subsystem value selected here and ORD660_Format_Map.REPORT_OUTPUT_CODE = value selected for the Format parameter (i.e., INV, ACK or CONFIRMATION) and org, and org unit is the org, org unit of the user running the process. If ALL is selected for the subsystem value here, then all order lines will use the same report (assuming a record exists in ORD660_Format_Map where SUBSYSTEM = ALL and ORD660_Format_Map.REPORT_OUTPUT_CODE = value selected for Format parameter). If ALL is not selected as the subsystem value, order lines that have a subsystem value different than the value selected here will use the base report. Most AP systems will not pay multiple invoices with the same invoice number, so it is not advised to generate different invoice reports for different order lines within the same order, because they may have the same invoice number. |
