Generate Invoice On-Demand

Invoices can be generated on-demand. On-demand invoicing enables an administrator to bypass the scheduled invoicing time and instantaneously produce the current standing invoice for an account. Performing an invoice on-demand produces the same results against the account as if it had been processed as a scheduled bill run. A new invoice is generated for the current billing period and the accounting profile is updated. For more information on accounting, see CA Service Catalog Administration Guide.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to CA Service Catalog.
2. Click Accounting, Account Management.
3. Click the account for which you want to generate an invoice.

   The Accounting Profile page opens.

   Important! Configure the period start date and end date. Set the Period start date to the period from which the services get consumed. Set the Period end date that is based on the billing cycle, as appropriately.

4. Click the Invoices tab.

   Note: Roll back all invoices, if there are any in the Invoice History page, before you generate an Invoice On-Demand.

5. Click the Invoice On-Demand button.
6. Click Yes to the popup, “Perform invoice on-demand?”.
7. Click OK to refresh the Invoice History page.

   The invoice records are displayed in the Invoice History section.
