important, as it determines the Due Date of the invoices that will be issued for
the customer.
For example, if the Payment Terms are 14 DAYS, then if the invoice has a
Document Date 01/22/09 the calculated Due Date will be 02/05/09.
Moreover, the Payment Terms will determine whether or not a customer will be
allowed payment discounts (i.e. incentive for early payment). The fields related
to payment terms are highlighted in the screenshot below:

It is important to understand that the above diagram describes the overall Sales
and Receivables process. Different steps in the process will most probably be
performed by different departments/ users in the company.
Step 1: Typically, the Sales or Order Processing department will create the Sales
Quote/ Order for stock items. The order will be then released to the warehouse
for shipping. At this point the order may be put on hold temporarily due to
approval requirements or customer credit limit.
Step 2: When the items are shipped from the warehouse, the warehouse
employee will have to find the sales order (created previously by the Sales or
Order Processing department) and ship the goods from the warehouse. At that
point, a Posted Sales Shipment document will be created and placed under the
History section. The Item card will also be updated to reflect the shipped
quantity. Normally, the G/L and the Customer card will not be updated yet. The
only exception will be, if you have the expected cost option activated. If so, the
expected cost will be posted to designated Interim G/L accounts.
Page: 15 of 43
Step 3: In turn, the accounting department will have to find the sales order
created in step 1. After a number of fields are verified/ updated, the user will
eventually invoice the sales order. That will create a Posted Sales Invoice
document that will be placed under the History section. At this point the
Customer Card will be updated and the G/L will be hit. If you have the expected
cost option activated, the expected cost that was posted in step 2 will be reversed
and actual cost will be posted to the designated G/L accounts.
If the sales order has been fully shipped and invoiced, the document that was
created in Step 1 will be deleted from the system. However, the Posted Sales
Shipment and the Posted Sales Invoice will be still available under the history
section. Those will be the documents that will be used for future reference. Both
documents will have reference to the original Sales Order No. and Customer PO
number.
Sales invoices (any invoice that does not include inventory items, e.g. service
charges), will be normally created, processed and posted solely by the accounting
department. For recording such sales invoices, the person responsible will use the
Sales Invoice instead of Sales Order. Both documents have more or less the same
functionality with the only difference that Sales Order is used when you have
stock items that need to be shipped from the warehouse, whereas the Sales
Invoice is used to record other fees (e.g. consultancy fees).
Alternatively, the Sales (Recurring) Journal can be used for a simpler way of
recording Sales Invoices.

Once the customer is selected in the sales header1, all the information
from the customer card will be copied to the sales invoice header. You
need to revise that information and make any corrections if necessary.
At this point, you may get a warning if the customer has past due (i.e.
overdue) entries and/or balance that is greater than the allowed credit
limit. Whether the warning will pop up or not, depends on the setup
specified in the Sales and Receivables Setup.
To proceed, you will have to click on the YES button.
