  • Current Line To recalculate prices and discounts for the selected line
  • All Lines: To recalculate prices and discounts for all lines
Set Current Unit Prices A check box that indicates (if selected) that the system must replace the item prices with the current prices in the selected line or all lines.
Override Manual Prices

A check box that indicates (if selected) that the system must update the prices that have been modified manually (in the Unit Price or Ext. Price columns) with the current prices. After the manual prices are overridden in the document, the system clears the Manual Price check boxes in the appropriate document lines.

The check box is available for selection if the Set Current Unit Prices check box is selected.

Recalculate Discounts A check box that indicates (if selected) that when you click OK to exit the dialog box, the system will recalculate the discounts for the selected line or all lines. If the check box is cleared, the system will leave the discounts unchanged.
Override Manual Line Discounts A check box that indicates (if selected) that when you click OK to exit the dialog box, the system will remove the manual discounts for the selected line or all lines (depending on the option selected in the Recalculate box of the dialog box) and will search for the applicable automatic discounts. If the check box is cleared, the manual line discounts will remain unchanged in the document, and the system will apply automatic line discounts to document lines with no manual discount applied.
Override Manual Group and Document Discounts A check box that indicates (if selected) that when you click OK to exit the dialog box, the system will remove any manual group and document discounts from the document, and will search for applicable automatic group and document discounts.

A check box that indicates (if selected) that the system will assign the selected records to the specified new approver but not to their delegate, even if the new approver is unavailable and has a delegation set up for the current date.

If the check box is cleared and if the new approver is not available and has a delegation set up for the current date, the system will reassign the selected records to the delegate if the delegate is available. If the delegate is unavailable, the system will reassign the requests to the delegate of the delegate. The system will continue the search in this way until it assigns an approver that has no active delegations set up for the current date or it detects a loop in the chain of delegations (in which case you will have to specify a different approver).

Summary Area

Here you can create a new document or select an existing AR document for modification. The following table summarizes the elements of this area.

Element Description
Type

The document type.

The following types are available:

  • Invoice: A document that contains a list of goods sold or services provided.
  • Debit Memo: A document that adjusts the amount in previous undercharging invoices.
  • Credit Memo: A document that credits a customer for damaged goods or a previous overcharging invoice.
  • Overdue Charge: A document that lists overdue charges to be paid on an outstanding document that is past due. The option is available if the Overdue Charges feature has been enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.
  • Credit WO: A document that writes off a small credit of the customer. This document is created and released automatically by the system when you run the write off process on the Write Off Balances and Credits (AR505000) form for the Credit WO document type. You cannot create this document manually.
Reference Nbr. The reference number of the AR document in the system; for a new document, the <NEW> string is displayed, indicating that a new number will be generated.
Status

The status of the document, which is assigned by the system.

The status can be one of the following:

  • On Hold: You can edit the document but cannot release it. When a new document is created on the current form, it is assigned the On Hold status if the Hold Documents on Entry check box is selected on the Accounts Receivable Preferences (AR101000) form or if approvals have been activated (and an approval map has been specified) for the document type on the Approval tab of this form; if the Hold Documents on Entry check box is cleared, the new document is assigned the Balanced or Pending Processing status.
  • Pending Print: You can edit the document but should print the document before releasing it. After the document is printed, the document's status changes to Balanced. The document is created with this status if the Require Invoice/Memo Printing Before Release check box is selected on the Accounts Receivable Preferences form and if the Print Invoices check box is selected for the customer for which the invoice is created on the Customers (AR303000) form.
  • Pending Email: You can edit the document, but should send the document by email before releasing it. After the document is emailed, the document's status changes to Balanced. The document is created with this status if the Require Invoice/Memo Emailing Before Release check box is selected on the Accounts Receivable Preferences form and if the Send Invoices by Email check box is selected for the customer for which the invoice is created on the Customers form.
  • Credit Hold: The system has performed credit verification and has placed the document on credit hold because the validation has failed. If the document has this status, the Remove Credit Hold action becomes available on the form toolbar.
  • Balanced: The Detail Total value of the document plus the Tax Amount value equals the Balance value. The document may be released, or it may be edited and saved with the On Hold or Balanced status.
  • Scheduled: The document is attached to a schedule. Scheduled documents are used as templates for generating similar documents, with the dates calculated according to the schedule settings. A document can be scheduled if its status is Balanced, or Pending Print, or Pending Email.

    If the External Tax Calculation Integration feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form and Avalara integration is set up, when the status of a template document changes to Scheduled, no transaction is created in Avalara even if the document has taxes applied to it.

  • Voided: The document is no longer used for generating recurring transactions. The system changes the document status from Scheduled to Voided when a user has removed the document from the table on the Document List tab of the Recurring Transactions form.
  • Pending Approval: The document needs to be approved by responsible approvers, which are assigned according to the approval map specified on the Approval tab of the Accounts Receivable Preferences form.

    This status is available only if the Approval Workflow feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form and approvals have been activated (and an approval map has been specified) for the document type on the Approval tab of the Accounts Receivable Preferences form.

  • Rejected: The document has been rejected by at least one assigned approver. A user can delete a document with this status or put the document on hold, edit the document, and submit it for the approval.

    This status is available only if the Approval Workflow feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form and approvals have been activated (and an approval map has been specified) for the document type on the Approval tab of the Accounts Receivable Preferences form.

  • Open: The document has been released and cannot be edited. As payments are applied to the document, its balance decreases.
  • Reserved: The document has been released and then put on hold. That is, on the Payments and Applications (AR302000) form, a user clicked the Hold button on the form toolbar (or the equivalent action) for the document when it had the Open status, and the system changed the document’s status from Open to Reserved. Reserved documents cannot be applied to outstanding documents and are excluded from the auto-application process. You can click Remove Hold to release the document from the Reserved status. This status is available if the document has the Credit Memo, Payment, Prepayment, Refund, or Balance WO type.
  • Closed: The balance of the AR invoice, which had been open, is equal to zero.
Date

The date when the AR document was created. By default, for a new document, it is the current business date, but you can change the date.

You can enter only a date that corresponds to a financial period that has been generated on the Master Financial Calendar (GL201000) form. If the date that you enter belongs to a financial period that has not yet been generated in the system—for example, for a date in the distant future or past—the system will display an error message, and you will not be able to save the document.

Post Period

The period to which the document should be posted.

By default, it is the current period, but you can change the period. The ability to post to closed periods is controlled by the Restrict Access to Closed Periods check box on the General Ledger Preferences (GL102000) form.

Customer Order Nbr.

The original reference number or ID assigned by the customer to the customer document (for informational purposes).

If the AR document has been created based on a pro forma invoice, the customer order number is copied from the pro forma invoice.

Description Any user-provided description of the AR document.
Customer

The customer associated with the document.

If the Customer and Vendor Visibility Restriction feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, the list of customers may be limited based on the branch specified for the document. A customer is available for selection if the Restrict Visibility To box on the Financial tab of the Customers (AR303000) form is empty or contains the branch specified in this document (or the company or company group that contains the branch specified in this document).

Location

The location of the customer related to the document.

By default, it is the default location of the selected customer or, if the invoice is created from an opportunity, it is the customer location specified for the opportunity.

Note: If you select a project that is billed by using pro forma invoices, the manually created AR document will not be tracked in the project budget on the Projects (PM301000) form and will not be shown in the project-related reports.

The box is available if at least one of the following features is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form: Project Accounting or Contract Management. If the Project Accounting feature is enabled, the AR check box must also be selected in the Visibility Settings section on the Projects Preferences form.

Apply Retainage

A check box that indicates (if selected) that this is a document with retainage. By default, the system applies the setting that has been specified for the selected customer in the Retainage section on the Customers (AR303000) form.

This check box appears on the form only if the Retainage Support feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form and can be edited if the selected document is unreleased and has the Invoice or Credit Memo type.

Pay by Line

A check box that indicates (if selected) that for the selected document, payments can be applied to individual document lines. If the check box is cleared, payments can be applied only to the outstanding balance of the entire document.

This check box appears on the form when the Payment Application by Line feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form. The check box is available for selection only if no lines have been added to the document.

For each new AR document, the default state of this check box is inherited from the settings of the customer selected in the document—that is, the settings that have been specified for the customer in the Financial Settings section on the Financial tab of the Customers form.

Note: This check box is cleared and unavailable for selection for documents with the Overdue Charge and Credit WO types.
Retainage Document

A check box that indicates (if selected) that this is a retainage document, which means an invoice or a credit memo with an amount withheld from the invoice or credit memo with retainage.

The system automatically selects this check box for a document the system has created when the retainage was released for the related document with retainage.

Detail Total The document total, which the system calculates for all line items in the Details tab.
Discount Total

The total discount of the document, which is calculated as the sum of discounts on the Discounts tab. If the Customer Discounts feature is not enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, you can enter a document-level discount manually. This manual discount has no discount code or sequence and is not recalculated by the system. If the manual discount needs to be changed, you have to correct it manually.

VAT Taxable Total

The document total that is subjected to VAT.

The VAT taxable amount is displayed in this box only if the Include in VAT Taxable Total check box is selected for the applicable tax on the Taxes (TX205000) form. If the check box is cleared, this box is empty.

This box is available only if the VAT Reporting feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

Note: If the document contains multiple transactions with different taxes applied and each of the applied taxes has this check box selected, the taxable amount calculated for each line of the document will be added to the VAT Taxable Total box of the document.

The document total that is exempt from VAT. This total is calculated as the taxable amount for the tax with the Include in VAT Exempt Total check box selected on the Taxes form.

This box is available only if the VAT Reporting feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.

Rounding Diff.

The difference between the original amount and the rounded amount.

The box appears only if the Invoice Rounding feature is activated.

For details, see To Set Up Document Amount Rounding.

Amount

The amount of the document after taxes and discounts.

If the Validate Document Totals on Entry check box is selected on the Accounts Receivable Preferences form, you enter this amount manually, and it should be equal to the sum of amounts in the Amount column of the Details tab (which is displayed in the Detail Total box) minus the total amount of group and document discounts (which is displayed in the Discount Total box) plus the total amount of exclusive taxes. If the Validate Document Totals on Entry check box is cleared, this amount is calculated by the system and displayed only for released documents.

Cash Discount

The cash discount amount that has been or will be taken on the document, which the system calculates based on the specified credit terms. If a document has the On Hold or Balanced status, you can change the amount of the calculated cash discount.

If you change the cash discount amount, the system recalculates the taxable and tax amounts of the document if the applied taxes have Calculation Rule set to Exclusive Line-Level or Exclusive Document-Level and Cash Discount set to Reduces Taxable Amount on the Taxes (TX205000) form.

Changes you make to the cash discount amount do not affect the taxable and tax amounts of the document if the applied taxes have Calculation Rule set to Inclusive Line-Level and Cash Discount set to Reduces Taxable Amount on the Taxes form.

If Canada is selected in the Localization box on the Companies (CS101500) form for the selected company, the Canadian cash discount calculation will be applied to the documents originating from this company and its branches. If you change the originating branch of the document in the Branch box on the Financial tab, the cash discount will be automatically recalculated by the system.

Subitem

The subitem of the line item, if applicable.

This box is available only if the Inventory Subitems feature is enabled in your system.

Important: The Inventory Subitems check box has been removed from the Enable/Disable Features form because the functionality associated with the Inventory Subitems feature will be phased out. If you have this feature enabled in your system, the associated functionality remains available. To disable the feature, contact your MYOB support provider.
Transaction Descr. Any comments relevant to the transaction. The alphanumeric string may contain up to 30 characters.
Quantity The quantity of this item sold to the customer, expressed in the unit of measure specified in the UOM column.
UOM The unit of measure (UOM) for the item.
Unit Price The unit price set for the item or service. If you want to update the unit price automatically to the current value (that is, the applicable sales or default price), you can use the Recalculate Prices and Discounts action. If you have modified the unit price and saved the document, the value will not be updated by the system if you change the document date.

If the Project Accounting feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form, in the project-related invoice line that has been created during progress billing, the system copies the unit price from the Unit Rate column of the corresponding revenue budget line on the Revenue Budget tab of the Projects form.

Manual Price A check box that indicates (if selected) that the unit price in this line has been corrected or specified manually. The system automatically selects this check box for the line when you change the price in the Unit Price column. If the check box is selected, when you change the unit of measure or quantity in the line, the unit price is not automatically refreshed with the price from the price list. If you clear this check box, the system updates the unit price in the document line with the current price (if one is specified).
Ext. Price

The extended price, which is either the unit price multiplied by the quantity or a manually entered amount that may not be equal to the product of the unit price and the quantity.

If you want to update the extended price automatically to the current value (that is, the applicable sales or default price multiplied by the item quantity), you can use the Recalculate Prices and Discounts action. If you have modified the extended price once and saved the document, the value will not be updated by the system if you change the document date.

Discount Percent The percent of the line-level discount that has been applied manually or automatically. The system selects the Manual Discount check box and calculates the discount amount after you have entered the percent manually and saved your changes or added a new line.
Discount Amount The amount of the line-level discount that has been applied manually or automatically to this line. The system selects the Manual Discount check box and calculates the line amount after you have entered the discount amount manually and save your changes or added a new line.
Manual Discount

A check box that indicates (if selected) that the discount has been applied manually. If you clear the check box, the system clears entered discount percent, or discount amount, or selected discount code.

Discount Code

The code of the line discount that has been applied to this line automatically or manually.

This column is available only if the Customer Discounts feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.

The column is hidden by default and available only if the Customer Discounts feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.

If you do, the system recalculates the retainage amount accordingly.

This column appears on the form only if the Apply Retainage check box is selected in the Summary area of the form.

Retainage Amount

The amount to be retained for the line. The system calculates the amount by applying the retainage percent to the amount in the Ext. Cost column minus the amount in the Discount Amount column. You can override this value if required; if you do, the system recalculates the retainage percent accordingly.

This column appears on the form only if the Apply Retainage check box is selected in the Summary area of the form.

Unreleased Retainage

The retainage amount that has been associated with the document line but has not been released yet. If the Retain Taxes check box is selected on the Accounts Receivable Preferences (AR101000) form, this column includes the corresponding retained tax amount for each line of the document.

Note: This column is hidden by default, but you can display it by using the Column Configuration dialog box.
Retained Tax

The amount of tax calculated based on the value in the Retainage Amount column. If the Retain Taxes check box is selected on the Accounts Receivable Preferences form, the retained tax amounts will be included in retainage documents.

Amount The total amount the system has calculated for the specified quantity of items or services of this type. This system applies any specified discount and subtracts the specified retained amount.
Balance

The outstanding balance of the individual document line. The balance of the line includes applicable taxes; document-level taxes are prorated among all lines of the document. If a payment applied to the document line has been released, the balance is updated accordingly.

Note: This column is hidden until the payment document is released.
Cash Discount Balance The balance of cash discounts for the whole document, distributed proportionally among all document lines.
Account

The sales account used for the transaction. By default, it is the sales account specified for the selected location of the customer.

  • If Customer Location is selected, the sales account specified in the Sales Account box on the GL Accounts tab of the Customer Locations (AR303020) form for the customer location selected in the Summary area of the current form for the document.
  • If Inventory Item is selected, the sales account specified in the Sales Account box on the GL Accounts tab of the Non-Stock Items (IN202000) form for the non-stock item specified in this line.

A read-only column filled in by the system in the document created as a result of reversing an invoice, credit memo, or debit memo. The column shows the reference number of the deferral schedule associated with the reversed document.

Note: If a Credit Memo document is created manually, then you can select a deferral schedule to be reversed.

In the reversed documents, this column remains empty.

Deferral Code

The deferral code assigned to the stock item or non-stock item specified in this document line. Upon release of the document, the system generates a deferral schedule (or schedules) based on the settings defined in this deferral code. For details, see Processing Deferrals.

Note: If you change an MDA deferral code (the deferral code that indicates that an item is a package) to any non-MDA deferral code, the system will consider the item to not be a package and will ignore its components while generating a deferral schedule. That is, the system will generate the deferral schedule for the item based on the settings of the specified non-MDA deferral code.
