Creating an invoice when a sales order is fulfilled requires that you create the invoice in your ERP system and then manually upload/enter it into in the EDI gateway. This is mostly mainly a manual process which that utilizes a lot of significant time and effort. In addition to that, it is a challenge challenging to handle errors and any changes in the expected schema.

All these Snaps work together to provide the Internal ID.
