Selecting Transaction Processing Options in Order Entry

Setting Up Order Entry

On the O/E Options screen, you can specify how and when Order Entry posts Accounts Receivable batches. For more information, see Order Entry Options for Posting Accounts Receivable Batches.

When you create an Accounts Receivable batch from posted Order Entry transactions, the Accounts Receivable batch contains summary details only.

In Accounts Receivable, you use the A/R Invoice Batch Listing screen to print the batch. Default batch information is as follows:

If you selected the Allow Edit Of Imported Batches option on the A/R Options screen, you can open and edit batch information (other than customer number, document type, and document number) before you post it.

Note: You can also post an invoice batch in Accounts Receivable. When you post the invoice batch, Accounts Receivable makes sure there are no duplicate invoice or credit note numbers. If duplicate numbers exist, they are placed in an error batch.

Adding Customers Before Posting Batches

In Order Entry, you can add transactions for non-existent customers (customers for which no customer record exists in Accounts Receivable). However, you cannot post batches that contain these transactions in Accounts Receivable until you add the customer records.

Note: When adding records for customers for which you have already posted Order Entry transactions, make sure you use the same customer number that you used on the Order Entry transactions.
