Posting Invoices, Debit Memos, and Credit Memos

  3. For these fields, select the range of values to include in the post:
    • Customer

    • Invoice Date
    • Due Date
  4. Optionally, for the Invoice Date and Due Date, select Increment Date to place the posting on the background queue and re-run the post based on the selected increment.
  5. Specify this information:
    Display Invoice Totals

  7. After reviewing the report, select Commit.
  8. To post the transactions, click Process.

If errors are detected in a transaction, a message is displayed indicating that not all transactions were posted.

During posting, these updates occur:

  • For each invoice, debit, or credit transaction posted, if the transaction is an invoice or a debit, the system increases these values:
    • 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.
  • Any open A/R payment is applied.
  • 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.
