AR Invoices: Generated Transactions

When you release an invoice, the system generates a batch of transactions to reflect the sale in the general ledger. The invoice includes all the information the system needs to generate the batch.

You can view the details of the batch associated with the release of an invoice by clicking the link in the Batch Nbr. box on the Financial tab of the Invoices and Memos (AR301000) form.

The following accounts are usually involved:

  • The asset account, which is specified in the AR Account box on the Financial tab
  • The income account specified for each line in the Account column on the Details tab

For a one-line invoice, the following transaction will be recorded to the general ledger when the invoice is released.
