Standard expense distribution for cost invoices

Infor LN FP6

In Infor LN FP6 there is no standard expense distribution for cost invoices.

New in Infor LN 10

In Infor LN 10 you can assign cost invoices to a default transaction schedule or to a default ledger account.

In Accounts Payable cost invoices often require a standard expense distribution.

Example

The cost invoice of a telephone company: the head office pays the costs, but the total costs will be distributed across a number of departments.

To support standard expense distribution, the following fields were added to the Invoice-from Business Partner (tccom4122s000) session:

The transaction schedule will be used as a default expense distribution when you enter purchase invoice transactions in the Purchase Invoices (tfacp1110s000) session, from which you can start the Purchase Invoice Transactions (tfacp1120s000) session to enter the cost details. If a transaction schedule is defined for the invoice-from business partner, the Create Transactions from Schedule (tfgld1204s000) session is activated, and you can generate the standard expense distribution. If no transaction schedule is specified for the invoice-from business partner, the value of the Ledger Account field will be used as a default. This default will be used in the first transaction line.

Similar functionality is available in these sessions:

  • Matched Purchase Invoice/Statement Line Transactions (tfacp1133s000)
  • Cost Invoice - Transactions (tfacp2600m000)
  • Recurring Journal - Transactions (tfgld0140m100)
  • Recurring Journal Details (tfgld0141s000)
  • Journal Vouchers (Single Line) (tfgld1103s000)

The reference specified in the Transaction Reference field is defaulted in these sessions:

  • Received Purchase Invoices (tfacp1500m000)
  • Purchase Invoices (tfacp1110s000)
  • Purchase Invoice Transactions (tfacp1120s000)
  • Matched Purchase Invoice/Statement Line Transactions (tfacp1133s000)
  • Recurring Journal Details (tfgld0141s000)
