Invoice case workflows

The Case Management for Invoice Operations application includes a subflow that provides the mapping between a customer invoice and an invoice case. The subflow Primitives - AR Invoice to CSM Invoice case request creates the data mapping between two different entities: 1) the customer invoice and 2) the invoice case.

For example, when mapping a customer invoice to an invoice case, the entities share some fields such as Account and Contact. The data mapping copies these field values from the customer invoice to the invoice case record.

To view this subflow, navigate to All > Process Automation > Workflow Studio and select Subflows on the Workflow Studio homepage.
