Insert Invoice Line

The Debtors Invoice Line detail overlays the main Create Transaction Screen. An invoice line represents one line in the invoice. Multiple lines can be inserted.

NOTE: The Commission percentage value of 10.00% which shows in the example Invoice Line below has defaulted from the Debtor record. It can be removed/overridden.

NOTE: If an account was not chosen during the first part of creating an invoice, one must be selected now before proceeding, as indicated by the mandatory field Account highlighted in the example:

Note the item code for the newly created invoice is the Invoice number. This is because the invoice is a non-booking transaction.

Transaction Item section

Item Description (60 chars each)

These two lines are for a description of the invoice line to be entered. In Bookings Invoicing, these lines (by default) contain the service option supplier name and the service option description. For a non-bookings invoice they are free format text.

Quantity x 2 (Numeric, 12.2 each)

In Bookings Invoices, these two fields contain the first and second charge unit quantities—i.e., 2 Nights x 3 Rooms. For non-booking invoices the use of these fields will vary and do not have to be altered unnecessarily.

Unit Price (Numeric, 12.2)

The cost per transaction quantity 1. If both transaction quantity fields are left at 1, then the Unit Price will also become the Extended Price.

Extended Price (Read-only)

This field displays the result of FCU Quantity x SCU Quantity x Unit Price.

Less Commission (Numeric, 5.2)

A percentage value which will be applied as a commission amount on the extended value. If the debtor has a commission percentage attached in the details screen (see Debtors Application, Details Tab), that percentage value will display in this field. If commission does not apply to this invoice, the value can be removed.

NOTE: The commission %age can only be edited during this stage of the invoice creation. Once the line screen is exited, further editing of the commission is not possible.

Commission Amount

This field displays any agent commission as a monetary value.

NOTE: The commission amount can only be edited during this stage of the invoice creation. Once the line screen is exited, further editing of the commission is not possible.

Nett (Read-only)

The total of Extended Price less the Commission amount.

Tax (Numeric, 12.2)

If a tax type has been attached to the currency that this invoice is being issued in (see Currencies Tab - Debtor Currencies), then the tax will automatically calculate in this field. The tax amount can be overridden.

Item Total (Read-only)

The sum of the Nett and Tax fields.

Debit Posting section

The Debit Posting Account is, by default, the Debtors Control account. This is obtained from INI settings and cannot be changed.

Credit Posting section

If the G.L. Revenue account was entered in the Debtors Invoice header, then that account detail will display in this field. If the account fields in the header were left blank, or a change needs to be made, then the revenue account can be changed here.

If the Revenue (Credit Posting) account needs to be altered for the new transaction, clear the Credit Posting Branch or Department or Account fields by back spacing the existing data out of them and click the Search icon next to the Account field. This will display a list of G.L. Revenue Accounts. If the Branch and Department fields are not cleared, only revenue accounts for the currently displayed Branch/Department will display. The displayed list can be altered to include any G.L. account type by checking the appropriate checkbox(es).

If an error has been made in any of the invoice lines, click on the line and go back to the invoice line detail dialogue.

Amend an invoice

To delete a line, select the line to open the Edit Invoice screen and then click the Delete button..
To add another invoice line, click the Insert button again and follow procedure Insert an invoice line.
