Creating a New Invoice

You must enter all of the details in the Invoice page and then fill out the Cybersource tab to create an invoice in
Oracle NetSuite
and send it to Cybersource.
  1. In your
    Oracle NetSuite
    account, hover over
    Transactions > Sales > Create Invoices
    . For detailed instructions on completing the Invoice page, see Creating an Invoice. Then, continue following the steps in this section to complete the Cybersource portion.
  2. From the Invoice page, scroll down and click the
    Cybersource
    tab.
  3. In the
    Pay by Link
    MID Account
    field, select the same MID account as the
    Default MID Config
    field contains from the Configuring an Invoicing Setup section. This field contains all the active set up records, so carefully select the correct account.
  4. In the
    Pay by Link
    Create Invoice
    field, select the same invoice action that you selected for the
    Default Invoice Action
    field in the
    Configuring an Invoicing Setup
    section.

    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

    • To create an invoice using a specific number, enter that number in the
      Pay by Link
      Invoice ID
      field. If you leave it blank, Cybersource auto-generates the invoice number and saves it. The invoice ID allows only letters, numbers, and special characters like the underscore (
      _
      )and hypen: (
      -
      ).
    • To allow partial payments for the invoice, enter the amount in the
      Pay by Link
      Partial Allowed Amount
      field. The partial amount you enter should not be greater than the total invoice amount.
  5. Enter the email address to be used when sending the
    Pay by Link
    Invoice Link
    field at the transaction level. If you leave this field blank, the system sources the email address from the
    Pay by Link
    Email
    field on the customer record. If that field is also blank, the system sources the email address from the standard
    Email
    field on the customer record.
  6. Check the
    Pay by Link
    Header Only
    box if you do not want to send line-level data in the request to the
    Business Center
    . Line level data cannot exceed the maximum limit of 30 lines, and you must leave the box clear.
  7. Click
    Save
    . If you exceed the line-level data limit and did not check the
    Pay by Link
    Header Only
    box, a warning message appears when you try to save it. Reduce the number of lines or check the
    Pay by Link
    Header Only
    box to send the header only.

    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

    When you save the record, a new invoice is created in the
    Business Center
    with these details. The system saves the invoice number from the
    Business Center
    in the
    Pay by Link
    Invoice ID
    field and the status in the
    Pay by Link
    Invoice Status
    field.
    If an issue occurs while you are creating the invoice, the error message appears in the
    Pay by Link
    Error Message
    field. After you resolve the error, save the record again to create the invoice. For more information about the reason codes, see Reason Codes for Oracle NetSuite.
