Direct Invoice Entry Footer Field Descriptions

How To

Use these fields to complete the direct invoice.

This window contains all the possible fields for Direct Invoice Footer processing.

Tip: Edit the SO Entry Options F/M to skip unnecessary fields.

1. Memo

Use the memo field to specify special instructions, thank you messages, reminders for upcoming specials, etc. This memo appears at the bottom of invoices, counter sale receipts and credit memos. It is not the same thing as memo lines entered for specific items.

The program defaults to the standard memo entered in the Document Print Control F/M (Sales Orders>File Maintenances>Infrequent File Maintenances>SO Document Print Control).

2. Ship to

This gives you at a glance ship to information entered in the header of the document. Edit the ship-to code, if necessary. If a customer requests to have an order shipped to an address other than its usual shipping address, use the Temporary Ship-to feature to facilitate this request. You can press F2 to  search.

3. Freight code

Options are Prepaid, Collect, Bill Later, and A Prepay/Add.

Prepaid indicates that the freight amount is the actual freight amount on this order in Freight $.

Collect indicates the freight amount should be collected upon delivery. No freight amount should be entered on the document.

Bill later indicates the freight amount will be collected after the charge is established from UPS manifest or freight bill. Use the Unbilled Freight Report to print a listing of all invoices that contain the Bill Later freight code.

Prepay/Add indicates that the carrier’s shipping charges will be billed to the shipper, the shipper will pay the carrier, and the shipper will also add freight charges to the customer’s invoice. The freight charges added to the customer’s invoice are not necessarily the same amount as the carrier’s shipping charges billed to the shipper.

You can also define freight in the Header Detail window.

5. Freight $

The freight value can be entered freight, quoted freight or automatically-calculated freight, based on control settings in Ship Via F/M, AR Customer Maintenance and SO Static Control F/M (SOF980).

The program skips this field if the invoice total is zero or if the Charge Tax flag in SO Entry Options F/M is not selected (or set to N).

If the Tax Rate flag is selected in the Accounts Receivable Tax Table F/M, the system will apply tax to the freight amount.

If you back up into this prompt without pressing F1-skip after changing the tax rate or the tax amount, the system recalculates the charges to reflect the tax code and the changes to the Tax Rate and Amount fields are lost.

9. Tax rate

The program initially skips this field.

If the Charge Tax flag in the Sales Orders Static Control F/M is not set to O-Override, you cannot override the tax code and this field is unavailable.

Specify H-to use the high rate, L-to use the low rate, or X-to change tax status of this document to exempt.
