Idea on sales order invoice summary control

Multiple sales orders can be summarized on one invoice using the Summary update for parameter on the Posting invoice form:

In cases where a lot of sales orders are created for a customer which are delivered, this could result in an invoice with a large amount of lines.

Some customers want to avoid having such large invoices, but still want to generate these invoices in batch using the “Late selection” functionality, instead of splitting the sales orders using the query and creating multiple batch jobs manually.

The idea is to add an additional parameter to the Posting invoice form where users can specify the maximum number of invoice lines in case sales orders are grouped on one invoice.

This functionality should keep track of the amount of lines that are grouped under a single sales order header (and one invoice). Once the maximum specified number of lines is reached, the current sales order that was being added should be added in total (to avoid splitting one sales order over two invoices), and the next sales order will become the new sales order header where the next sales orders will be grouped underneath until the specified maximum of lines is reached, or until all selected sales orders are allocated under a sales order header.
