A/R Distribution Codes Screen

Select this option if you want the Discountable status to appear as the default status when you use this distribution code in an invoice, credit note, or debit note detail.

Type a code, using up to six characters, to identify the distribution code.

Type a description of the distribution code.

Enter the general ledger account numbers for the revenue, inventory, and cost of goods sold accounts to which amounts posted to the distribution code are distributed.

If you plan to assign the distribution code to an item record and you want to create transactions for inventory and cost of goods sold, enter numbers for all three general ledger accounts (revenue, inventory, and cost of goods sold).

If you will use the distribution code for creating summary invoices (invoices that do not use item numbers for invoice detail entry), enter the general ledger account number only for the revenue account. Accounts Receivable does not create transactions for inventory and cost of goods sold from summary invoices.

Select this option if you do not want to assign the distribution code to any customers.

Normally you use this option when you decide to delete a distribution code, and want to ensure that it is not assigned to any additional customer accounts. You can change your entry any time.

You cannot assign inactive distribution codes to customer records. Also, you cannot save changes to customer records that use an inactive distribution code, unless you first assign an active distribution code to the records.

This information field displays the date of the last change made to the distribution code. You do not make an entry in this field.
