To print customer invoices and statements for multiple clients, use the Print Accounts Receivable Forms screen. To print invoices for a single customer, use the Enter Invoices screen.

Regardless of which method you use to print accounts receivable forms, you must select a layout. If you selected layouts in the Invoice layout and Statement layout fields in the Forms Processing section of the Setup > Clients > Accounts Receivable tab, the application automatically selects those layouts for you.

Note: When printing invoices with a future date, you must set the AR date to that future date or beyond (via the Actions > Change AR Date dialog). If the AR date is before the invoice date, the application will not print the complete invoice.
