Which results do you expect if you include open items on an invoice?

Question

Options

• AOpen items are included as line items.
• BOpen items are cleared.
• COpen Item taxes are recalculated
• DOpen items are included in the invoice document total.

• A
  15% (4)
• B
  4% (1)
• C
  8% (2)
• D
  73% (19)

Explanation

When open items are included on an invoice, their amounts are rolled into the invoice document total - they contribute to the overall balance the customer owes, which is why D is correct. Option A is wrong because open items are not broken out as individual line items within the invoice body; they are consolidated into the total. Option B is incorrect because merely including an open item on an invoice does not clear it - clearing only occurs when the item is actually settled (e.g., through a payment posting). Option C is wrong because including open items does not trigger a tax recalculation; taxes were already calculated when the original transaction was posted.

Memory tip: Think of "including" as adding to the total, not resolving or displaying - open items quietly inflate the invoice total without appearing as lines or triggering any clearing/tax logic.
