Invoice and Credit Note Change and Create
The window contains three tab panes. The same window is used to create a new non-dispatch invoice or credit note or to amend an existing document.
WARNING: You can only amend documents that have been created in the current Accounts Receivable accounting period.
The parameters available for a non-dispatch Invoice are normally provided on the Sales Order or Job when an invoice is created at the time of a SO dispatch or Job Invoicing. You can enter a customer reference, additional reference, a payment due date, amend the default payment terms for the customer, set a foreign currency and select an alternative invoice and/or delivery address. When you are happy with the parameters, use the Save button.
WARNING: All items are created as sales history records and therefore it is assumed they are dispatched to the customer.

Add Item |
To add a non-part (or non-stock part) line entry to the document. |
You can add items using the this button. Enter data as if you were creating a non-part sales order item. The sales account code defaults to the default non-part sales account but can be changed to any sales type G/L account. If you hold the shift key down when passing out of the account code box, the system will accept a non-Sales type G/L account, otherwise only a ‘S’ type account will be permitted.
TIP: You can create Tax-Only Invoice or Credit Note line items using the following technique: Type in the leading significant characters of the Default Sales Tax Account (as entered in Ledgers — Ledgers Manager — Control Settings and the Defaults tab pane), hold the shift key down and press the Tab key. Leave nothing in the List price and Discount boxes, enter a non-zero value in the Tax class box. After tabbing, the cursor will then move to the Tax value position, where you may enter a tax amount. This procedure is only provided for exceptional tax transactions normally confined to export trading special circumstances.
