O/E Invoice Entry Screen
The Calc. Taxes button appears on the Taxes tab. Click the button to calculate and overwrite any existing tax amounts on the Taxes tab.
Note: If you do not select the Calculate Tax option on the Taxes tab, you can change tax amounts manually after clicking the Calc. Taxes button.
You can also use the Calc. Taxes button to recalculate taxes after changing the tax authority – even if you have selected the Calculate Tax option.
For more information about entering taxes manually, see Entering Taxes Manually .
Click this button to view the components that make up a kit or a BOM. For more information, see O/E Kitting Components Screen or O/E BOM Components Screen .
This button is available on the Rates tab if you calculate the tax amount in the tax reporting currency manually (if you report taxes in a different currency than you collect them).
If you have already changed the tax reporting amount on the Taxes tab, click Derive Rate to calculate the actual exchange rate between the tax amount and the tax reporting amount.
- If Order Entry automatically calculates the tax amount in the tax reporting currency, it will use the tax reporting currency exchange rate that you enter on the Rates tab.
- The rate on the Rates tab must match the effective exchange rate before you can post the document.
- If you change the total amount on the Taxes tab, you must redistribute the tax reporting amount to the document details.
This button is available if you do not select the Calculate Tax option.
When you click the Dist. Taxes button, the total tax (from the Taxes tab) is prorated to the document details.
Note: You can review tax amounts for document details on the O/E Items/Taxes screen. For more information, see O/E Items/Taxes Screen .
Click this button to review the sales history for a selected item or a customer. For more information, see Looking Up Sales History for Items or Customers .
Click Item/Tax to open the O/E Items/Taxes screen.
You can use this screen to add, edit, and delete items and charges, and to change tax information for items and charges. The screen displays details for each item or charge on a single screen, rather than in a table row, making it easier for you to review and modify information without scrolling.
You can also change a tax class to another tax class that is assigned to the authority, and you can specify whether tax is included (in the Tax Included column).
For more information, see O/E Items/Taxes Screen .
Click this button to post a transaction. When you post, you can print documents related to the transaction. Depending on the transaction and the options you selected, you may be able to print a quote, order confirmation, picking slip, prepayment receipt, and/or invoice. For more information, see O/E Confirmation Screen .
- If you have set up Order Entry to check customer credit limits, and the transaction you are posting will put the customer over their credit limit, the O/E Credit Check screen appears when you post. On this screen, you can put the transaction on hold. Also, depending on how your system is set up, you may be able to override the customer's credit limit and continue with posting.
- For job-related transactions, if you change the status of a contract from Estimate to Open, and then post, you cannot change the contract's status back to Estimate. For more information, see About Order Entry Integration with Project and Job Costing.
Click Prepayment to open the O/E Prepayments screen, which you use to enter complete or partial payments for a transaction. For more information, see O/E Prepayments Screen.
Note: If you use Payment Processing, the Prepayment button is replaced with the Capture button after you pre-authorize a credit card payment.
Enter the customer number of the customer to whose account you will post the transaction.
The customer number determines the customer and billing address, and sets the default tax group and payment terms. In multicurrency systems, the customer number also specifies the currency of the document.
Note: After you enter a customer number, the field to the right displays the customer's name.
You can enter an existing customer number in the following ways:
- Enter the number, and then press Tab.
- Use the Finder
to select the number.
Using the buttons to the right of the Customer No. field, you can:
- Create a new customer. Click the New
button to create a new customer on the A/R Customers screen. When you finish, the new customer number appears in the Customer No. field.
- Check the customer's credit. Click the Pre Credit Check
button to check the customer's credit status before entering a transaction.
- Edit the customer's billing address. Click the Zoom
button to view and edit the customer's billing address for the current transaction. (Any changes you make apply to the current transaction only, and are not saved to the customer record.)
- Look up information about the customer. Click the Inquiry
button to open the A/R Customer Inquiry screen to look up information about the customer.
If a customer account or its account set is inactive, you cannot enter transactions for the customer. If a customer account becomes inactive after you enter an order, you will not be able to post changes or invoices for the order until the account is made active again.
If the Allow Non-existent Customers option is selected on the O/E Options screen, you can enter a new customer number, and then continue entering the document. In a multicurrency system, the currency for the order is set by the reporting currency of the customer tax group that you choose.
You should not use this method to enter transactions in a multicurrency system, especially if the reporting currencies for customer tax groups do not match your customers' currencies.
Also note that you must add the customer record in Accounts Receivable before you post an invoice for the order in Accounts Receivable.
This field displays the name of the person who entered the transaction.
An invoice number is a unique number that identifies an invoice.
You can use this field to:
- Enter a number for a new invoice if you want to create one manually, or accept ***NEW*** to have Order Entry assign the next available number.
- Select an existing invoice that you want to view, edit, or delete.
Order Entry assigns invoice numbers according to settings you specify on the Documents tab of the O/E Options screen. For more information, see O/E Options Screen.
Use the Customer tab to specify information about the customer, including shipping method, price list, and eligibility for discounts.
Specify the date from which you want to calculate due dates and discount dates for the document.
By default, this field displays today's date (the session date you entered when you signed in to ).
By default, this field displays the account set specified for the customer on the A/R Customers screen.
The account set specifies the General Ledger accounts to which the transaction will be distributed: receivables control, payment discounts, prepayment liability, retainage, and write-offs.
You can change the account set for a transaction. If you use multicurrency, however, you must select an account set that uses the same currency as the customer's account set.
Select a code that identifies the price discount level for the customer. You can select Base, A, B, C, D, or E.
If you select Base, and the discount is based on customer type, the customer is not eligible for price discounts.
- You specify customer type on the A/R Customers screen, but you can change it for an individual order.
- Item prices in Inventory Control are specified by customer type.
If applicable, enter the free-on-board (FOB) location at which the customer begins paying freight charges on the order.
If a default FOB point or primary ship-to location is specified for the customer on the A/R Customers screen, the FOB point from the customer record or the ship-to location appears in this field when you select a customer.
When you specify a terms code that uses a payment schedule, this field displays the number of payments permitted in the schedule.
You can enter payment amounts for all the payments in the schedule, or for only some of them. You cannot enter more payments than are permitted by the schedule.
Note: You must edit the terms code in Accounts Receivable to change the number of payments in a payment schedule.
When you are entering a payment schedule, this field displays the number of each payment line. You cannot change the number.
Enter an optional ship-via code to specify the delivery method for the shipment.
If you specified a primary ship-to location for the customer on the A/R Customers screen in Accounts Receivable, the ship-via code for that ship-to location record appears as the default.
If the transaction uses a template, the description field to the right displays the description for the ship-via code used in the template by default.
If you select a ship-to location with an associated ship-via code for the transaction, the description for that location's ship-via code replaces the default description.
You can change the description if necessary.
Enter the code for the customer's tax group.
The tax group determines the tax authorities to which the customer is subject, and the tax classes that are used for each authority to calculate sales tax.
You can change the tax group at any time, even after posting. (For example, if you change the ship-to location on a posted order, you can also change the tax group to include the tax authorities for the new location.)
Note: If you use Project and Job Costing, see About Order Entry Integration with Project and Job Costing for information about specifying tax groups for contracts and projects.
Use the Invoice tab to perform the following tasks:
- Specify general information about the invoice
- Select options related to tax, project and job costing, project invoicing, and retainage
- Add and edit detail lines for items and miscellaneous charges on the Details table
You use the fields and options at the top of the Invoice tab to specify general information about the invoice, and to select options related to tax, project and job costing, project invoicing, and retainage.
Information you specify on the Invoice tab includes:
- Shipment number (or numbers) you are billing on the current invoice
- Invoice date
- Whether to calculate taxes automatically
- Ship-to location (from the Accounts Receivable customer record) or a shipping address just for the invoice
- Optional description, reference, and comment
- Invoice details
Select this option if you want Order Entry to calculate tax automatically for this document. For more information, see Entering Taxes Manually
Note: If this document is job-related and you select the Project Invoicing option, you cannot enter taxes manually. The Calculate Tax option is automatically selected, and you cannot change it.
If necessary, enter an optional description for the invoice, using up to 60 characters. The description from the shipment document appears as the default, but you can enter a different description for the invoice if you wish.
If you do not change the description for the shipment or the invoice, it will appear for the Accounts Receivable invoice and in the General Ledger batch, depending on the options you selected for your Order Entry system. For more information about these options, see O/E Options Screen and O/E G/L Integration Screen.
If you want to create a new invoice from multiple shipments, select the From Multiple Shipments option, and then click the Zoom button to open the O/E Create Invoice from Shipments screen.
For more information, see O/E Create Invoice from Shipments Screen .
Note: You cannot combine job-related and non-job-related shipments in the same invoice.
This option is selected if you are invoicing a shipment for a project that you are managing using Sage 300 Project and Job Costing.
You cannot change this setting.
When you post the invoice, Order Entry updates the contracts, projects, categories, and (if required) resources in Project and Job Costing to which the items in this document apply.
Displays the inventory quantity that is committed to orders.
By committing an inventory quantity to an order, you ensure that the required inventory will be available when it is time to ship the order. (If a quantity is already committed to an order, you cannot ship another order for the same items unless there is a sufficient quantity in inventory in addition to the committed quantity.)
Tip: You can click the Drilldown button to the right of the displayed quantities to view more information (such as the customer and the expected ship date).
The reference from the shipment document appears as the default, but you can enter a different reference for the invoice if you wish.
The reference appears in Accounts Receivable as the reference for the invoice, and in the general ledger batch (if you select Detail Desc./Ref. for the G/L Reference Field or G/L Description field option in the A/R Options screen, and do not consolidate the general ledger transactions created by Accounts Receivable).
Select this option to indicate that retainage applies to the document you are entering. (Retainage is where a percentage of the payment is held back for a fixed period of time, and then invoiced separately after the hold-back period.)
When you select this option, the Retainage tab becomes available. You use this tab to specify how to process the retainage amount for the document.
- The Retainage option is available only if you are entering a job-related transaction and your Accounts Receivable ledger uses the Retainage Accounting option.
- The Retainage option is not available if you select Project Invoicing (where invoicing is handled through Project and Job Costing).
Enter a ship-to location that you have defined for the customer on the A/R Ship-To Locations screen in Accounts Receivable. You can do this in the following ways:
- Enter the ship-to location, and then press Tab.
- Use the Finder
to select the location.
Using the buttons to the right of the field, you can:
- Create a new ship-to location. Click the New
button to create a new ship-to location on the A/R Ship-To Locations screen. When you finish, the new ship-to location appears in the Ship-To Location field.
- Edit the customer's ship-to address. Click the Zoom
button to view and edit the customer's ship-to address for the current transaction. (Any changes you make apply to the current transaction only, and are not saved to the customer record.)
- When you enter a ship-to location, Order Entry updates the price list, territory, tax group, and sales split information for the transaction based on the information stored for the ship-to location.
- If you do not specify a ship-to location, Order Entry uses the address in the customer record.
In this field, enter the document number for the shipment that you are invoicing at this time, or use the Finder to select the shipment number. Details from the shipment document you select appear in other fields on the screen.
You can also click the Drilldown and Inquiry
buttons to the right of this field to view more information about the selected shipment.
Note: If you are invoicing multiple shipments, do not select a shipment number in this field. Instead, select the From Multiple Shipments option, and then click the Zoom button to open the O/E Create Invoice from Shipments screen. For more information, see O/E Create Invoice from Shipments Screen
.
This is the fiscal year and period to which the invoice transactions will be posted in the general ledger. You cannot change it except by changing the Posting Date.
You can enter a different invoice date, and you can enter a different posting date for the document.
Note: You cannot post transactions to closed fiscal periods.
You use the Details table to add and edit detail lines for items and miscellaneous charges. More...
This field appears if you selected the Job Related option for the document.
For job-related orders, specify the category to use for this item or charge. You also specify the WIP Account (for Project Invoicing) or the Revenue and COGS accounts and the Billing Type for the customer invoice.
Posting the document updates the committed quantities and costs for jobs in Project and Job Costing.
- If you use a term other than “Category” in Project and Job Costing, that term appears as the label for this field.
- Use the Item Number field to specify the resource.
- After you add the detail, you cannot edit this field.
This field indicates whether there are comments or instructions entered for the detail, and also allows you to add comments or instructions. For more information, see Adding Comments and Instructions to Order Entry Transactions .
- Comments for a detail line appear in the Description column on printed quotes, order confirmations, invoices, credit notes, and debit notes.
- Instructions for a detail line appear in the Description column on printed picking slips.
If the sales invoice is job-related, each invoice detail shows where the items or resources are going to be used.
You can add this information only for new miscellaneous charges that you are adding to the invoice. You cannot change this information for existing detail lines from the shipments that you are invoicing.
If you use different terms than “Contract,” “Project,” and “Category” in Project and Job Costing, the program displays them instead.
Invoices update the costs for jobs in the Project and Job Costing program.
- You use the Item Number field to specify the resource.
- After you add the detail line, you cannot change this field.
If you set up customer item numbers in Inventory Control (using the I/C Customer Details screen), you can use the customer's item number to enter the item number for the detail.
If you use customer item numbers to enter the item number for details, Order Entry will replace the customer's item number with your inventory item number, and automatically insert the customer's item number in this field. (This works the same way as the manufacturers' item numbers.)
This field displays the description from the item price list or miscellaneous charge record for the item or miscellaneous charge selected in the Item No./ Misc. Charge field.
This description appears on printed order confirmations, picking slips, and invoices. You can use the default description or enter a new description to be used for an individual transaction.
In a multicurrency system, the description from the item record appears here if the price list does not include a price in the customer’s currency.
The program displays the discount amount specified for the terms code, if any.
You can change the displayed amount. If the terms code does not use discounts, you can enter a discount amount for the individual order or invoice, if necessary.
Select Yes if the customer is eligible to receive a payment discount when paying early.
To calculate the total value of a detail line, Order Entry divides the unit price by the pricing unit of measure conversion factor, then multiplies the result by the order unit of measure conversion factor and the quantity ordered.
The total value of a detail line is not the value of the quantity shipped. The cost of the shipment (which will appear on the invoice) is calculated in the Extended Price column.
If you have an export declaration number for a specific invoice detail, enter it in this field. If you have an export declaration number for the whole invoice, enter it on the Taxes tab.
The extended cost for an item detail is calculated by multiplying the item's unit cost by the item quantity.
For a miscellaneous charge detail, the extended cost is applicable only if you use Project and Job Costing and the miscellaneous charge is for a job-related document. In this case, the cost amount specified for the miscellaneous charge is used as the extended cost. For more information, see O/E Miscellaneous Charges Screen.
Note: If security is turned on for your system, you must have security authorization to view information in this field.
Enter the extended price for the detail, or accept the calculated value.
Extended price refers to the extended price of an order (that is, the total cost of the items being ordered, whether or not they have been shipped). It is calculated automatically when you enter an order quantity. Sage 300 divides the unit price by the pricing unit of measure conversion factor, and then multiplies the result by the order unit of measure conversion factor and the quantity ordered.
If you change the extended price calculated by the program (which you cannot do in the Order Entry screen or the Copy Orders screen, but you can do in other screens where this field appears), an asterisk appears beside the Ext. Price field on the O/E Items/Taxes screen, and also appears beside the item on the O/E Transaction List report.
This field displays the extended weight, which is calculated by multiplying quantity shipped by the unit weight entered for the item in Inventory Control.
You might use extended weight to determine postage, shipping, or other charges.
You can edit the item weight and the extended weight on the transaction entry screen if necessary.
Order Entry converts the extended weight for each detail to the order weight unit of measure, and displays the estimated weight for the entire order on the Totals tab.
This is the unit of measure for weighing this item on the invoice.
The default unit should be the weight unit of measure specified for the shipment. You can change the weight unit of measure for the detail line, if necessary.
The weight unit of measure for the complete invoice is determined by the default weight unit of measure specified on the I/C Options screen.
Enter the item number or miscellaneous charge code for the item or charge. Order Entry displays information from the Inventory Control item record, including pricing unit and unit price information based on the customer's price list.
Note: After entering an item number in this field, you can use the Finder to see alternate items for the specified item. For more information about specifying alternate items, see the Inventory Control help.
After you add an item or charge, you can no longer change its item number or miscellaneous charge code.
If the selected item is part of a kit or a BOM (bill of materials) in Inventory Control, click the Finder to select the kit or BOM number (if you have more than one build for the item).
To review the items in the build, click the Components button at the bottom of the screen.
- You can create kits from stock or non-stock items in Inventory Control and then use them in Order Entry. You can also enter or post multiple kitting entries (or mix kitting entries with regular entries) in any Order Entry transaction entry screen.
- Kits can be assigned serial numbers that are maintained in Serialized Inventory.
- You can include kit components and BOM components when printing order confirmations, quotes, picking slips, invoices, credit notes, and debit notes.
- When you print the O/E Transaction List report and select Detail as the report type, the report displays kit components and BOM components.
- When you print the O/E Posting Journals report, it includes actual breakdown amounts for each kit component.
By default, this field displays the location code specified for the order. You can change the location for individual details.
Optionally, enter the code for the physical location from which you will ship the items ordered on the detail line.
You must specify a physical location, not a logical inventory location. Logical locations are used primarily for transferring goods between physical locations in Inventory Control.
Note: You cannot change the location for a serialized or lotted item after you enter a quantity in the Quantity Ordered field.
Tip: You can click the Location Finder to see the quantity on hand at other locations.
If you have set up manufacturer's item numbers in Inventory Control, you can enter the manufacturer's item number (usually a bar code) in this field, rather than entering your inventory control item number. The manufacturers' item numbers are translated to your inventory item numbers by Inventory Control.
If you entered the manufacturer's item number in the Item Number field, Order Entry inserts it here automatically when it retrieves item information.
For more information about using manufacturer's item numbers, see the Inventory Control help.
If you use optional fields, you can review and edit optional fields by clicking the Optional Fields column heading. (If you are using the O/E Items/Taxes screen, click the Zoom button beside the Optional Fields option.)
If an optional field is required, you cannot save the transaction unless the field has a default value, or until you fill in the field yourself.
To add optional item fields that were not automatically inserted, press the Insert key to add a new line to the table, and then use the Finder to select an optional field.
Optional fields must be assigned to the transactions screens using the O/E Optional Fields screen before you can add them to individual transactions. For more information, see O/E Optional Fields Screen .
Price checks are set in Inventory Control price lists for particular items, price lists, and user IDs.
If price checks are in effect, and the price you enter is outside the boundaries allowed, this field displays "Yes." Depending on how your system is set up, you may be able to approve the price, as follows:
- In the Price Approval column heading, click the Zoom
button.
- On the O/E Price Approval screen, enter the ID of the person approving the price override. If security is set, you must also enter a password.
Note: The Price Approval field does not appear if you are using the O/E Item/Taxes screen. Instead, an error message may appear when you try to save the item detail, stating that the price requires approval.
For more information, see About Price Checks .
This field indicates whether the item is priced by weight or by quantity.
- If pricing is by quantity, Sage 300 sets volume discount amounts or percentages according to the quantity of goods that are ordered.
- If pricing is by weight, Sage 300 sets volume discount amounts or percentages by item weight.
Item weights are calculated in Order Entry by multiplying the unit weight of an item times the quantity ordered, and converting the weight to default units.
Note: Pricing by weight is available in Sage 300 Premium only.
This field displays the code for the price list used for the detail on the shipment.
You can change the unit price and the extended price, but you cannot change the price list.
This field displays the unit of measure in which the item is priced.
Sage 300 Premium supports multiple pricing units of measure, but you must set one as the default on the I/C Item Pricing screen in Inventory Control.
The pricing UOM is determined by the price list as follows: If the price list provides only one pricing UOM, that UOM appears here. If the price list provides several pricing UOMs, the pricing unit that matches the order UOM appears here. If no pricing UOM matches the order UOM, the default pricing UOM appears here. If you price by cost, the default pricing UOM appears here, and the cost-based price appears in the Unit Price field.
Note: If the item is not on the specified price list, the program uses the item's stocking unit as the pricing unit.
This field appears if you selected the Job Related option for the document.
For job-related orders, specify the project for the item or charge. You also specify the WIP Account (for Project Invoicing) or the Revenue and COGS accounts and the Billing Type for the customer invoice.
Posting the document updates the committed quantities and costs for jobs in Project and Job Costing.
- If you use a term other than “Project” in Project and Job Costing, that term appears as the label for this field.
- Use the Item Number field to specify the resource.
- After you add the item or charge, you cannot edit this field.
If you did not ship the entire order and you use backorder quantities, the quantity backordered appears in this field.
The quantity on backorder is the quantity on order less the quantity shipped.
You cannot change the quantity committed on an invoice.
Order Entry lets you specify an inventory quantity that is committed to a particular order. When it is time to ship the order, the quantity is guaranteed to be available.
If a quantity is already committed to an order, you cannot ship another order for the same items unless there is a sufficient quantity in inventory in addition to the committed quantity.
This field displays the quantity of items from the order you are invoicing.
The quantity from the shipment appears as the default for this field, but you can change the quantity.
If you use Serialized Inventory and Lot Tracking, when you enter a quantity invoiced for a serialized or lotted item, and then leave the Qty. Invoiced field, the O/E Serial/Lot Numbers Allocation screen appears. You use the screen to allocate or edit serial numbers and/or lot numbers for the item detail. You must fully allocate serial and lot numbers before you can save the detail.
The retainage amount is the amount the customer can withhold for an original document detail until the end of the retention period, when retainage is invoiced.
To calculate the retainage amount, the program multiples the extended detail amount (or the extended amount plus tax, if you include taxes in retainage) by the retainage percentage.
You can enter a new retainage amount, if necessary. If you enter an amount to replace a calculated amount, the program recalculates the retainage percentage.
Note: You cannot change the amount on the Retainage tab.
If the document is job-related and you are not using project invoicing, you also specify the revenue/billing account for each item or charge.
The default account number is specified in Project and Job Costing, and is used instead of the sales account specified for the item in the item category record.
This field displays the number of item units that have been shipped to date for the detail.
You can click the Drilldown button to open the O/E Shipments/Invoices screen and view shipment and invoice information for the detail. For more information, see O/E Shipments/Invoices Screen.
Select the type of detail you are entering: Select Item to add a detail line for an inventory item or non-stock item that is assigned an item number in Inventory Control.Select Miscellaneous to add a detail line for a miscellaneous charge defined in Order Entry.
Tip: You can select a detail type by typing the first letter (for example, type M for Miscellaneous), or you can toggle between available selections by pressing the spacebar or double-clicking in the field.
You enter the unit cost for an item only if the item uses the user-specified costing method in Inventory Control (that is, if User-Specified appears in the Costing Method field on the I/C Items screen).
For more information, see Inventory Costing Methods.
Note: If security is turned on for your system, you must have Item Cost Inquiry authorization to view and edit information in this field.
By default, this field displays the lowest unit price for which the customer is eligible. This may be the base price, a sale price for a specified time period, or the price specified for the customer's price level or the quantity purchased, based on a discount or markup.
If necessary, enter the price for the item, per pricing unit.
- If price checks are in effect, and the unit price is outside the allowed limit, the price must be approved. For more information, see About Price Checks .
- You can edit the information in this field only if you have Unit Price Override security authorization in Order Entry.
- If the item is not on the price list you specified for the detail, no price appears.
- If the lowest price is a negative amount, it is displayed as zeros.
- If you set up contract pricing for a customer in Inventory Control, Order Entry uses that information to calculate prices for items affected by the customer’s pricing contract, and it displays the contract price by default in this field.
- If you do not set up contract pricing for a customer, Order Entry calculates prices based on the customer type and the price lists you set up in Inventory Control.
- If the price list you select is not currently in effect: The Unit Price Finder does not appear. (That is, the Finder does not appear if the document date is not between the Price List Starts date and the Price List Ends date specified for the item, currency, and price list code on the I/C Item Pricing screen.)The Unit Price field displays 0.000000 by default.
- The number of decimal places that appear in this field is determined by the information specified for the item on the I/C Item Pricing screen.
This is the weight of a single item for this detail line expressed in the invoice weight unit of measure. You can multiply this weight by the quantity ordered to get the extended weight.
You can edit the unit weight and the extended weight on the invoice.
The estimated weight on the Totals tab is in the default weight unit of measure specified on the I/C Options screen.
If the document is job-related and you are using project invoicing, you also specify the WIP (Work in Progress) account for each order detail.
By default, this field displays the account number specified in Project and Job Costing.
Note: The level at which the WIP account is specified in Project and Job Costing depends on the project type and accounting method.
If optional fields are assigned to the screen, use the Optional Fields tab to enter optional field information that applies to the entire document.
Optional fields and values appear automatically on this tab if you selected the Auto Insert option for those fields on the O/E Optional Fields setup screen.
If you use identical optional fields in Order Entry transactions and Accounts Receivable invoices, the information in the Order Entry fields is sent to Accounts Receivable.
Note: If an optional field is required but does not have a default value, you must specify a value for the field.
For more information, see About Optional Fields and Adding Optional Fields to Transaction Entry Screens.
The Rates tab appears only if you use multicurrency accounting and you are entering a document for a customer who does not use your company’s functional currency. You use this tab to view and edit rate information for currency conversion.
The Rates tab can show the following groups of exchange rate information:
- Order Exchange Rate (if you are creating or have created an order)
- Shipment Exchange Rate (if you are shipping or have shipped goods)
- Invoice Exchange Rate (if you are creating or have created an invoice)

This field displays the exchange rate currently in effect between the tax reporting currency and your functional currency for the displayed rate type and rate date. You can change the rate on this tab, or you can change the tax totals on the Taxes tab and then derive the new rate on the Rates tab.
- If you change the exchange rate for the tax reporting currency on the Rates tab, the program will change the tax reporting amounts on the Taxes tab when you use the Calc. Taxes button to calculate taxes (if you are not calculating taxes automatically).
-
If you change the tax reporting amount on the Taxes tab (after clearing the Calculate Tax Reporting option), you will have to redistribute the new tax amount to the detail lines, and then enter the new tax reporting exchange rate on the Rates tab.
To calculate the new exchange rate, click the Derive Rate button on the Rates tab.
You cannot post the document unless the tax reporting exchange rate is correct for the tax reporting amount on the Taxes tab, and the tax reporting amounts for the document details match the total tax reporting amount on the Taxes tab.
You will see a warning if you change an exchange rate by an amount that exceeds the Spread setting for the currency table on the Currency Rates screen in Common Services.
The Retainage tab appears only for job-related documents that use the Retainage option.
You use this tab to specify retainage terms for orders, shipments and invoices.
If you use multicurrency accounting, you also specify the exchange rate to use for the retainage invoice, retainage debit note, or retainage credit note when outstanding retainage is processed in Accounts Receivable.
You use this field to specify the method the program will use to determine the exchange rate for the retainage document when outstanding retainage is eventually processed in Accounts Receivable.
You can choose one of the following methods:
-
Use Original Document Exchange Rate—to use the same rate as the invoice for this shipment.
-
Use Current Exchange Rate—to use the rate in effect when the outstanding retainage is processed in Accounts Receivable.
You can use different terms for retainage documents (used to invoice for outstanding retainage) than you use for this invoice.
If retainage terms are specified in the A/R customer record, the retainage terms code from the customer record is used as the default retainage terms code for the invoice.
If no retainage terms code is specified in the customer record, the customer’s usual terms code is used as the default.
Use the Sales Split tab to calculate sales commissions by allocating transaction totals to up to five salespersons.
You can assign portions of each transaction to the salesperson or salespersons responsible for the customer account or sale. If you track commissions for sales staff, Order Entry uses this information to update commission data when you post invoices and run Day End Processing.
When you enter a transaction in Order Entry, the salespersons assigned to the customer account in Accounts Receivable appear on the Sales Split tab by default. If you select a ship-to location, the salespersons associated with that ship-to location are used instead.
Note: You assign default salespersons to customer records and to ship-to locations in Accounts Receivable.
The salesperson listed on the first line in the table is the primary salesperson for the transaction. Some Order Entry reports list only the primary salesperson, while others allow you to sort information by primary salesperson.
You can assign the transaction to other salespeople by changing the percentage of the transaction total allocated to each salesperson. The amounts in the Percentage column must total 100 (or 0 if you do not assign salespeople to the transaction).
Enter a salesperson code to add a new salesperson, or to replace a currently assigned salesperson for a transaction.
You do not have to assign salespersons to a transaction, but if you do, the amounts in the Percentage column must total 100.
Note: You set up salesperson codes in Accounts Receivable.
Use the Taxes tab to select the method you will use to calculate taxes, and to review and change tax information for a document.
For each Order Entry document, you can specify whether taxes are calculated automatically or entered manually.
If you want Order Entry to calculate tax for this document, select the Calculate Tax option.
Note: If the document is job-related and you selected the Project Invoicing option, you cannot enter taxes manually. The Calculate Tax option is automatically selected, and you cannot change it.
If you want to enter tax amounts manually, do not select the Calculate Tax option. If you do not select this option :
- The Dist. Taxes button appears on the screen.
- You can enter tax amounts for the tax authorities listed for the document.
Click Dist. Taxes to prorate tax that you enter manually on the Taxes tab to the document details. For more information, see Entering Taxes Manually.
Note: You cannot prorate a tax amount to an authority that uses an exempt tax class.
Select this option if you want the program to automatically calculate tax reporting amounts for the document. Sage 300 calculates the amount in the tax reporting currency by applying the exchange rate between the source currency and the tax reporting currency.
If you clear this option, you can edit tax reporting amounts.
- This option appears only if a tax authority has a tax reporting currency that is different from the source or functional currency.
- The default for this check box is determined by the Calculate Tax Reporting Amounts Automatically option on the O/E Options screen.
If the invoice includes goods for which an export declaration form has been created, enter the number of the export declaration.
Tip: You can also enter export declaration numbers for specific invoice details, on the Details table on the Invoice tab.
This group of fields provides a breakdown of taxes calculated for the invoice, displayed in your tax reporting currency.
This table displays information about tax authorities, classes, and amounts for the current document.
If you do not select the Calculate Taxes and the Calculate Tax Reporting options, you can change the tax base, tax amount, and tax reporting amount for each authority on the document.
You cannot edit information about a tax authority directly on this tab. To change information for a tax authority, you must use the screens in Tax Services.
You can change the tax authorities used by a particular order or invoice by changing the tax group on the Customer tab.
For debit notes and credit notes, however, you must use the same tax group as the invoice you are debiting or crediting. (Also, you cannot select a template code or ship-to location that uses a different tax group than the invoice.)
This column displays the tax class that is assigned to each tax authority.
If you change the tax class for a tax authority on this screen, click Calculate Taxes to see the recalculated tax amount.
Note: If the Calculate Tax option is selected, the tax amount is recalculated automatically, but is not displayed immediately.
To change the tax class description or make other changes to the information for the specified tax group, use the Tax Services screens in Common Services.
If you selected the Calculate Tax option, this field displays the amount of tax that is due for each authority.
For each authority, Order Entry calculates a sales tax amount if: The customer is subject to tax.The order contains taxable items or taxable miscellaneous charges.Tax rates are specified for the tax authorities and classes in Tax Services.
If you are entering taxes manually, enter the total tax amount you calculated for each tax authority. Ensure that the amounts you enter agree with the sum of the tax amounts for the details, for each tax authority.
If you selected the Calculate Tax Reporting option, this field displays the tax reporting amount calculated by applying the exchange rate between the source currency and the tax reporting currency.
If you did not select the Calculate Tax Reporting option, you can edit the tax reporting amount in this field.
- This field appears only if a tax authority for the transaction has a tax reporting currency that is different from the source or functional currency.

Comments appear in the Comments section on printed quotes, order confirmations, invoices, picking slips, credit notes, and debit notes.
For more information, see Adding Comments and Instructions to Order Entry Transactions .
Select this option if you want to apply the order discount to the miscellaneous charges subtotal. Order Entry prorates the discount specified for the Less Invoice Discount field to miscellaneous charges.
If you do not select this option, the order discount is applied only to the items subtotal.
You can also specify discounts by customer type and early-payment terms. You select the customer type and terms code on the Customer tab.
This field displays the total tax amount that is included in item prices and miscellaneous charge amounts.
Use these fields to specify a discount on the invoice total.
This is a discount for a volume purchase, for example, and not an early payment discount. If you enter a discount, it is calculated for all the items on the invoice. If you discount miscellaneous charges as well, the discount is also calculated for the miscellaneous charges.
You can enter a percentage discount or a fixed amount.
Note: An asterisk will appear beside the amount field if you override the amount calculated from a percentage. The discount amount will not change unless you re-enter the discount percentage.
Assume that a 33.3333% discount produces a discount amount of 24,999,94.
If you change the amount to 25,000:
- An asterisk will appear by the amount to show that the calculation was overridden.
- If you add more item details to the order, the discount percentage will be automatically recalculated for each detail, but the discount amount will not be recalculated unless you re-enter the discount percentage.
This field displays the amount of all prepayments that have been entered for this invoice.
To apply a prepayment to a specific invoice, enter the prepayment with the invoice. Prepayments made to the order are applied to invoices when they are posted in Accounts Receivable (matching by order number).
This field displays the amount of any early-payment discount for which the customer might be eligible.
This discount is specified by the terms code assigned to the transaction.
Tip: You edit payment terms for the transaction on the Customer tab.
Note: The number in this field indicates a discount that is currently available, based on the payment terms for the customer. This discount may no longer be available when payment is received.
This field displays the total amount of the miscellaneous charge detail lines for the document.
The miscellaneous charges subtotal includes tax amounts that are included in miscellaneous charge amounts, but does not include item prices or tax amounts that are charged separately on miscellaneous charge amounts.
This field displays the total amount of all items and miscellaneous charges on the document, minus the total amount of discounts applied on individual detail lines.
This field displays the total number of detail lines (for items and miscellaneous charges) entered for the document.
If you are not invoicing the entire order, this field still displays the total number of detail lines (including those you are not invoicing).
Tip: Use this number to be sure you have entered all the details you need and deleted any unused details.
This field displays the total amount, including taxes. This amount does not include invoice prepayments or early-payment discounts.
Prepayments entered with all orders and shipments associated with this invoice appear on the Totals tab for your information. If the invoice includes details from several different orders or shipments, you will see the total prepayments for all of the orders and shipments.
The Totals tab also displays shipment prepayments, and also displays an invoice prepayment total if a prepayment is also being posted with this invoice.
When you apply order prepayments to a specific invoice in Accounts Receivable, Accounts Receivable calculates any early payment discounts that may apply.
