AR Documents with VAT: Generated Transactions

As you process AR documents with VATs, you create and process an AR invoice and a credit memo. To update customer balances, the system generates the GL transactions described in the following sections.

Transaction Generated for an AR Invoice

When you create and release an AR invoice, the system generates the following general ledger transaction:

Account Source of Account Debit Credit
Accounts Receivable account The AR account of the customer specified on the Customers (AR303000) form Amount + tax amount 0.00
Asset/income account The sales account specified for the non-stock item on the Non-Stock Items (IN202000) or for the document line on the Invoices and Memos (AR301000) form 0.00 Amount
