Business partner balances

You can register and display invoice-to and invoice-from business partner balances within different logistic companies.

The order balances are recorded in Sales Control, Purchase Control, Service, and so on. The order balance increases when you create and approve an order. The purchase order balance decreases when you match a purchase invoice with the order in Financials. The sales order balance decreases when you compose an invoice in Invoicing.

The balance payable increases when you register a purchase invoice and decreases when you match the purchase invoice with the payment in Financials.

The balance receivable increases when you post the sales invoices and decreases when you apply the cash to the invoices.

If you select the Include Tax in BP Balances check box in the COM Parameters (tccom0000s000) session, LN includes the calculated tax amounts in the order balance.

LN registers the balances in the reference currency that you defined for the logistic company.

LN registers the turnover amounts in the home currencies that you defined for the logistic company.

LN raises and lowers the balance by the amounts on the order lines and invoice lines. This can cause an accumulation of rounding-differences. You can recalculate the amounts at regular intervals to correct them.

The order balance and invoice balance displayed show the data of the most recent time orders and/or invoices were processed.

The turnover of the current year field displays the data generated when you last updated the Sales statistics or Purchase statistics.
