What Happens During Invoice Posting

The updates that occur during invoice posting are described here.
  • For each invoice, debit, or credit transaction posted, if the transaction is an invoice or a debit, the system increases:
    • the customer's posted balance by the sum of the total transaction amount
    • the customer's sales YTD and sales PTD values by the amount of the transaction.

      If the transaction is a credit, the system decreases the customer's posted balance, sales YTD, and sales PTD in the same manner.

  • The customer's Last Invoice Date field is updated with the invoice date for the transactions.
  • New open items are created, one for each transaction that is posted.
  • Entries are created in the General Ledger A/R Distribution (AR Dist) Journal.
  • For each transaction, one journal record is created for the Accounts Receivable amount, and one transaction is created for each distribution record entered.
