Distributing Invoices

You can distribute invoice amounts to multiple General Ledger (G/L) accounts, using any of three methods:

Automatic Distribution

  1. On the Invoices, Debit and Credit Memos or Invoices, Debit and Credit Memos G/L Distribution form, select the record for the invoice you want to distribute.
  2. Select Actions > Generate Distributions.

NOTE: The default G/L accounts from the Accounts Receivable Parameters form and the customer's tax code are used.

Manual Distribution

  1. On the Invoices, Debit and Credit Memos G/L Distribution form, select Actions > New.
  2. Select the customer for which you are adding a distribution.
  3. Select the number of the invoice you are distributing.
  4. In the Dist Seq field, accept the default, which is the next available sequence number.

    This number is used to order the distributions.

  5. In the Tax System field, select the tax system for the distribution; or, for a non-tax distribution, leave this field blank.
  6. In the Dist Amount field, enter the amount of the distribution.
  7. In the Account field, select the account to post the distribution to.
  8. Select Actions > Save.
  9. To continue adding distributions until the Total Remaining field is 0 (zero), repeat these steps as necessary.

Reapplication of an Open Credit

  1. On the A/R Posted Transactions Detail form, locate the open credit you want to reapply.
  2. Make a note of the customer, debit or credit transaction, check/reference number, and invoice number associated with the transaction.
  3. Follow the remaining steps in the topic Reapplying Open Payments.
