Section 1: Customer Card


All customers will be recorded in the system and each one of them will have his
own customer card. On the Customer Card users will have to provide basic
information related to the specific customer. Some of the fields on the customer
card are critical and need to be filled out. If not, you will not be able to use that
customer. (Those fields have been highlighted below). All the other fields are
optional and as a general rule you will select a value only if there is a default
value for that customer. For example, if you always (or most of the times) ship
items from a specific warehouse select that warehouse as the default value in
the Location Code field. You can always change the default value on a Sales
Quote/Order/Invoice.
To create a new customer, follow the steps below:
1. Go to the Customer Card

5. You can use the
button next to the No. field for any general comments. All
users that have access to the customer card will be able to read them. The
comments will be used internally and will not appear on any sales-related
documents.
If the button shows lines

for you.

8. Type a Country Code.


Note: This field is required if you are going to use the Online Map Integration
feature. For addresses in the USA use US.

Payments Tab

17. Select Payment Terms for the customer. The Payment Terms code is
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:

Section 2: Analyzing Customer Ledger Entries


Customer Ledger Entries
If you want to take a closer look at your Customers and the business that you do
with each of them, you can use the Customer Ledger Entries window. From this
window you can see all ledger entries relating to the selected customer. You
cannot modify the customer ledger entries, but you can use the window for
analytical purposes.

screen. Details on additional fields from the Customer Ledger Entries can be
found in the help file.

Detailed Customer Ledger Entries


Customer entries consist of the Customer Ledger Entries and a sub-entry
called the Detailed Cust. Ledg. Entry. The Detailed Cust. Ledg. Entries

Section 3: Sales and Receivables Process Overview

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.

Copyright, SCS, Inc. 2008

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.

Section 4: Creating a Sales Invoice for Miscellaneous Fees


Using Sales Invoice
For all sales invoices that will not include stock items (that need to be Shipped in
the warehouse), the user will start from the Sales Invoice document (and not the
Sales Order). Example will be invoice for consultancy fees.

Copyright, SCS, Inc. 2008

Page: 16 of 43

When you click on the (Sales) Invoice, the program will take you to an existing
Sales Invoice (if any). To create a new Sales Invoice follow the steps bellow:

column you have clicked before using them.
6. Click

Copyright, SCS, Inc. 2008

Page: 17 of 43

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.

7. Customer Information Pane.


As soon as you select the customer in the Sales Header, the right-hand
side of the upper screen will display additional customer information.
From that menu, you can easily access Comments, Ship-To Addresses
for the customer, as well as Contacts (in the CRM application area).
You can also see the Sales History of the specific customer (i.e.
sales/credit memo lines from posted and unposted documents). You can
use the Sales History and copy lines from one or more previously
recorded documents in the system.

The upper part of the sales invoice screen.

select the value. If the dimension applies to the whole document
and not to a specific line, you can either use the two global
dimensions that are placed on the Invoicing tab of the document

header, or select them from the


DIMENSIONS.

If you want to insert comments that will be shown on the


invoice, create a new line with Type <blank>, then type the
comment in the description field. You can also use standard text
by using the Lookup Button ( ) from the No. field.

quantities pending to be shipped are shown under Qty to Ship.

If you need to partially invoice, modify the Qty to Invoice, so that it


reflects only quantities that you want to invoice at this point. If some of
the lines are not to be invoiced, clear the field.

Hint: If the quantities that are not to be invoiced are for items that are tracked by
Serial Nos. or Lot Nos, you will also have to go to LINE button ITEM
TRACKING LINES and clear/ modify the Qty to Invoice (Base) from the
corresponding lines.

If your system configuration requires you to specify certain


dimension(s), you can show those dimensions as columns and then select
the value. If the dimension applies to the whole document and not to a

Section 7: Applying Entries


The application of a payment to an invoice can be done in several ways.
Those are described below:
First of all, the policy that governs the application is specified on the
Customer Card (Payments tab)

Manual means that the program will apply payments only if you specify
a document.
Apply to Oldest means that if you do not specify a document for the
payment to be applied to, the program will apply the payment to the
oldest of the customer's open entries.

The following scenarios are for the Manual application method:

Applying the Payment to One Invoice only


In the Deposit line that you created in Section 6 of this document, fill out the
following fields (you may need to show the columns if you do not see them):
1. Applies-to Doc. Type Skip this and have system fill in for you.
2. Applies-to Doc. No. select the invoice you want to apply the payment to
and click OK

Applying the Payment to Multiple Invoices


1. In the Deposit Line that you created in Section 6 of this document, clear
the following fields (you may need to show the columns if you do not see
them):
Applies-to Doc. Type
Applies-to Doc. No.
2. Click on

Copyright, SCS, Inc. 2008

APPLY ENTRIES

Page: 33 of 43

In the screen that pops up, the header section contains all the details for the
payment line.
Note: The fields highlighted in green are relevant only if the payment was in a
different currency than the local one.
The lines below show all the open Customer Ledger Entries for the Customer
who issued the check.
3.

Click on the line that represents the invoice that you want to apply the
payment to , then click the
. The Apply-To ID field will be
populated with the Document No of the payment line that you created in
Section 6.

Hint: You can hold

4. Payment Discounts
If the Invoice that you selected has payment terms that allow you payment
discounts (i.e. Pmt Discount Date on the line is on or after the work date),
then the payment discount will be reflected in the bottom of the screen. You
can change Pmt Discount Date and Remaining Pmt Disc Possible fields if
needed.
Note: You have to make a full payment for the invoice in order to get the
payment discount.
5. Payment Tolerances
Copyright, SCS, Inc. 2008

Page: 34 of 43

Also, if you have set up a policy for Payment Tolerances (in the General
Ledger Setup), that is allowing to close invoices when you have an over or
under-payment for an invoice up to a certain limit, the Max Payment
Tolerance field on the line will show that limit.
6. Partial Payments
If you want to create a partial payment (i.e. apply the payment to several
invoices and specify the amount to apply), after you complete step 1 above,
click in the Amount to Apply field and overwrite the amount.
7. Click

Note: The Amount field on the payment journal line will be filled in
automatically if you left it blank.

Applying the Payment to Invoice(s) after Posting


It is also possible to proceed with the posting of the payment without any
application (e.g. you are not sure which invoice you are paying). If you
decide to do that, you will simply finalize the manual creation of the payment
line; print the check if computer checks; and finally post the journal.
In this case, you will do the application after the posting of the journal. To do
that, follow the instructions below:
1.

10. Payment Discounts


If the Invoice that you selected has payment terms that allow you payment
discounts (i.e. Pmt Discount Date on the line is on or after the work date),
then the payment discount will be reflected in the bottom of the screen. You
can change Pmt Discount Date and Remaining Pmt Disc Possible fields if
needed.
Note: You have to make a full payment for the invoice in order to get the
payment discount.
11. Payment Tolerances
Also, if you have set up a policy for Payment Tolerances (in the General
Ledger Setup), that is allowing to close invoices when you have an over or
under-payment for an invoice up to a certain limit, the Max Payment
Tolerance field on the line will show that limit.
