How to Create a Standalone Copy of a Non-Standalone Invoice

Scenario

When generating a copy of an Invoice created from a Sales Order, it would function as if it was also created from the Sales order. The copied Invoice would be linked to the Sales Order and the GL Impact would not affect the Inventory Asset account.

Users have the option to create a completely standalone invoice.

 

Solution

1. Navigate to Transactions > Sales > Create Invoices > List
2. Click View on the non-standalone invoice you need to copy
3. Navigate to Actions
4. Click Make Standalone Copy

You would note that there is no Created From field in the generated invoice and this indicates that it is a standalone transaction. Upon saving, it would impact the Inventory Asset account, unlike a non-standalone invoice.
