Creating a Channel Invoice

Creating a channel invoice is the second step in SellerCloud’s Channel Invoice workflow. This feature lets you create a channel invoice based on the shipped orders for a date range in SellerCloud, so you can reconcile the channel’s invoice against SellerCloud data and apply the channel’s payment to that invoice.

Create a channel invoice

1. Go to Customers > Channel Customers.
2. Click the channel customer’s Display Name > click Invoices > Create Channel Invoice.

   

3. Complete the fields on the Channel Invoice page.

   

The table below defines each of these fields (red asterisk = required):

FIELD	DESCRIPTION
Company	Defaults to the company you chose.
Channel	Defaults to the channel customer.
Invoice Date*	Choose a date for the invoice.
PO/Deal #	PO or Deal # associated with a channel invoice.
Reference #	Enter an optional number to cross-reference this channel invoice with your own internal invoicing system. Note: Leave this field blank to have it auto-populated, based on the setting Update Reference # with QuickBooks Invoice #, if you are using QuickBridge to post channel invoices to QuickBooks.
SKU	If the channel customer invoices you by product ID, you can create their invoice by item SKU. To find an item, click SKU to open this Search box:
Start Date* and End Date*	Select the start and end dates for the ship-date range of the invoice’s orders.
Discount Allowance	This defaults to the discount allowance set in the channel customer’s General Information, but you can update it here per invoice, or add it here if you left that value blank when you created the channel customer. Enter the amount ($) or percentage (%) the channel deducts from what they will pay you for each item.
Freight Allowance	Defaults to the freight allowance set in the channel customer’s General Information, but you can update it here per invoice, or add it here if you left that value blank when you created the channel customer. In either case, enter the percentage the channel deducts for shipping.
Include Shipping	Defaults to the channel customer’s General Information setting, but you can update it here per invoice. Deselect or select the box. Selecting it will show a Shipping Total line on the channel invoice, which represents the total shipping amounts from the orders in the invoice. Note: This setting does not apply to Groupon.
