Message flow
Order matters: INVOIC goes after RECADV because you invoice the quantities actually received. Invoicing earlier means you'd need a corrective invoice whenever RECADV shows differences (breakages, shortages).
Periodic reports (INVRPT, SLSRPT) run on their own cycle and aren't part of the order-to-invoice flow.
