The question: How do I invoice partial shipments without billing twice?

## The short answer

When an order ships in several loads, each invoice should bill only that load, and nothing should be billed twice. InvoiceIQ AR by Analytos invoices the shipped quantity at the sales-order price, draws the order down as it posts, and leaves the remainder open to bill when it ships. A bill of lading can never be invoiced twice.

## Which document it bills from

-   One fulfilment covers the shipment: billed from that fulfilment, and only it is drawn down.
-   The shipment spans several fulfilments, or the policy is 2-way: billed from the sales order.
-   Over-shipment: invoiced and flagged rather than silently dropped.

## Controls

-   The fulfilment panel shows what shipped, what has been billed, and what remains
-   Draw-down on posting prevents double billing

## Is this a fit?

### A good fit when

-   Orders routinely ship in more than one load
