Enter Matched Customer Invoices
Explanation
This activity is used
to match a customer Bill of Exchange with customer debit and credit invoices. If
the Bill is not completely matched, the remaining part is stored as a payment on account.
You can also add a new item, a Difference Item, positive or negative, to balance
the matching.
When matching the Bill with invoices, discounts can be utilized, parts of invoices can
be written off, and partial payments can be made. If difference items are
created, these can later be printed on a difference notice to the customer. Invoices in other companies can also be
matched as long as the customer is defined in the other companies.
A Bill of Exchange in one currency can be matched with invoices in other currencies as
long as all currencies are EMU currencies. I.e. you can enter a Bill in EUR and match it
with invoices in DEM or FRF, or vice versa. Or even enter a payment in DEM of invoices in
FRF.
Prerequisites
This activity requires that you have registered Bill of Exchange information in the
Customer
Bills of Exchange window.
System Effects
This entry does not cause any system effects until the customer Bill is saved. Then all
matched invoices are paid, and an Open Customer Bill of Exchange ledger item is created
with the full Bill of Exchange amount. If the Bill of Exchange is not fully matched,
the remaining part will create a new Payment on Account with the unmatched amount. A
voucher will be created in the hold table in IFS/Accounting Rules.
