POST MANUAL BILLS

Use this screen to print and/or post manual bills in the Manual Bill table. The Manual Billing Journal provides detail supporting invoices and should be printed and retained as part of the system audit trail. For this reason, you cannot post manual bills without first printing the Manual Billing Journal. You can, however, print the Manual Billing Journal without posting it, so that you can review and correct entries before posting. When posting the Manual Billing Journal, you must first print the Journal during the same session. You must also keep the posting criteria consistent with the selections you made to print the journal. If you exit from the screen, or if your selections change, you must reprint the Manual Billing Journal based on the new criteria before you can post. If you elect to post, selected invoices are posted to the A/R Header and A/R Detail History tables (Maintain A/R History screen (Accounting » Accounts Receivable » Beginning Balances)).

You can print and post the Manual Billing Journal any number of times during the accounting period.
