Finalizing a Bill via Single Action Invoice

Navigation: Billing > Generate Invoices > Non-consolidated > Single Action Invoice

  1. The Single Action Invoice search page displays.
  2. If you have run this process or report in the past, select the Find an Existing Value tab to enter an existing Run Control ID and select the Search button. If this is the first time running this process or report, select the Add a New Value tab to create a new Run Control ID and select the Add button. 
    • NOTE: It is important to note that Run Control IDs cannot be deleted. Do not include spaces in your Run Control. We encourage the Run Control ID to have the same process naming convention but unique to the step; because of this, including your institution code and a short process description in the Run Control ID is recommended--e.g., WA240_SINGLE_ACTION_KK (College, Process).
    • NOTE: Select the Print Options tab and select the "Summarization Options" radio button to = Print Both Summarized & Detail. This setting will ensure both the Detail and Summary Invoices will be generated. Once this setting is saved, it will be set as long as this Run Control ID is valid. In case you need to create a new Run Control ID, this custom setting will need to be updated and saved.
  3. The Single Action Invoice page displays.
  4. Select Batch Standard in the Posting Action section.
  5. Select an appropriate Range Selection and provide the definition values for that range. The following example is for Range Selection = Invoice ID which requests additional criteria:
