# Post sales invoice

When an invoice is created and posted for a sales order, it is added to the Invoice journal. If an applicable document flow with direction '**Outbound**' and type '**Invoice**' exists, also a record is added to the **Outbound message queue**. When this record is processed, the 'Sales - Invoice to XML' message is run. As a result, an EDI invoice message file is created and sent to your customer.

For more information on sales order invoice posting, refer to [Create sales order invoices](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/finance/accounts-receivable/tasks/create-sales-order-invoices).
