This section includes the fields and descriptions for the Invoice Selection tab.
Job Island
Customer Island
Field | Description |
---|---|
Customer | This is the name and number of the customer the job is for. |
Bill to Customer | This is the name and number of the customer who is paying for the job. |
Invoice On Account Selection Island
Invoice Selection Island
The fields in this island show the totals of the lines shown in the table part. If the current job is a main job, and the field “Includes Subjobs” in the island Main Job Invoicing below is marked, the amount fields in this island will show totals for the main job only or for the main job and its associated subjobs. If the invoice layout rule for the current main job specifies that invoice selections should be made from the main job only (the field “Main Job Invoice Selection” is selected on the invoice layout rule), the fields in this island show the totals of all jobs in the main job/subjob structure. If the field is not marked on the invoice layout rule, the fields in this island show invoice selection totals for the current main job only.
Main Job Invoicing Island
Charges Island
Field | Description |
---|---|
Charge Table | Specify the charge table on the job. |
Delimitation Island
Delimitation, Dimensions Island
Job Budget Island
Status Island
Selection Criteria Island
Field | Description |
---|---|
Only Open Activities | You can mark this field if you only wish the card part to show the job’s open activities, that is, activities with open entries.
If you want the field to be checked by default, you can set this up in system parameters. |
Invoice Island
Field | Description |
---|---|
Invoice Type | Use this field to specify the type of invoice to approve when you approve the invoice selection. The available options include:
If you set an amount for invoicing/crediting on account, the field updates to On Account, and reverts to T&M if the amount for invoicing/crediting on account is changed back to zero.
Note: You must manually select the third option of combined invoicing, T&M and On Account.
|
Combine T&M, On Account by Default | This check box is selected on a new job if the "Combine T&M with On Account by Default” job parameter is set to Yes. If this check box is selected, the Invoice Type field switches to T&M and On Account when you set an amount for invoicing on account. |
Preferred Invoice Date | In this field, you can enter the preferred invoice date. The date must be within the open posting interval, which is specified in the window System Information in the Set-Up module. If you do not enter a date, Maconomy inserts the current date when the invoice is printed.
If the job is assigned the job parameter type “Invoice Approval” in which the job parameter attribute “Pref. Inv. Date From Plan” has been given the value “Yes,” and if an invoice plan has been created for the job in question, the date in this field will be transferred from the assigned invoicing plan when you select the action “Transfer Invoicing Plan” in the Action menu. If the plan consists of several invoicing plan lines, Maconomy will use the date specified on the line most recently created. The date considered for invoicing plan lines with job phases or milestones is the completion date of the phase/milestone in question. If split billing is used (that is, there are multiple bill-to customers on the job), changing the preferred invoice date in this field will change the date on all invoices approved from this invoice selection. However, if the date is changed on one of the invoices in the window Invoice Editing, this field will be blank unless the date is the same on all invoices approved from this invoice selection. For more information, please see the description of the window Invoice Editing. |
Invoice Name | Here you specify the name of the invoice. When you approve the invoice selection, this name will appear in the window Invoice Editing, where you can update it. The invoice name can be added to prints of invoice and credit memos and their corresponding drafts.
The invoice name is merged into the customer entry text and the finance entry on the customer. The field is cleared when you run the action “New Invoice Selection.” |
Show Write-Down Separately | Use this field to control whether to show a possible write-down separately, on its own line in the draft. Select this check box to show write- downs separately.
The default behavior for how write-downs appear comes from the main invoice layout rule. If the job is set up to create a detailed invoice specification, selecting this field affects both the cover part and the detailed part of the invoice. If the invoice layout rule is set up to show amounts on lines, the draft invoice created when you approve an invoice selection on a job will show the amount being invoiced, including any write-up/-down that you may have selected. You can show write-down on a single, separate line, and then instead show the billing price, excluding write-down, on the specification. This is enabled by selecting this field. The text on this line (such as Courtesy discount) can be set up in the Language Texts window on the entry with key1 @JobWriteDownLine. |
Show on Invoice, Customer Balance | Select this field to indicate that you want to see the customer’s prior and new balance on the job invoice printout.
The default value is inherited from the customer / company-specific customer; however, you can override it in the Invoice Selection, On Account Invoice Selection, and Blanket Invoice Selection windows. |
Show on Invoice, Customer Statement | Select this field to indicate that you want to see the customer statement on the job invoice printout.
The default value is inherited from the customer / company-specific customer; however, you can override it in the Invoice Selection, On Account Invoice Selection, and Blanket Invoice Selection windows. |
Show on Invoice, Customer Aging | Select this field to indicate that you want to see the A/R aging on the job invoice printout.
The default value is inherited from the customer / company-specific customer; however, you can override it in the Invoice Selection, On Account Invoice Selection, and Blanket Invoice Selection windows. |
Invoiced on Account Island
Field | Description |
---|---|
Net Invoiced on Account | This field shows how much of the total job price has been invoiced on account. The amount is shown in the job’s currency. It is possible to invoice part or all of the job in this window, either before the first job entries have been made or during its completion and irrespective of job entries.
When the job is finally invoiced, Maconomy deducts the amount invoiced on account. However, the invoice price cannot be less than “0.00.” The amount here is deducted from the invoiced amount and cannot be changed here. |
Tax Invoiced on Account | This field shows how much tax has been added to the job’s invoices on account. It cannot be changed here. The amount is deducted from the tax total of the invoice selection. When the job is finally invoiced, Maconomy deducts the tax on account. However, the invoice amount cannot be less than “0.00.” |
Approved reconciliation | This field shows the currently approved amount for reconciliation across drafts. There is a slight difference between the interpretation of "approve reconciliation" in the window Invoice Selection and in the window Job Invoices On Account. In Invoice Selection the restriction applies to the reconciling job, whereas in Job Invoices On Account the restriction applies to the job (the job of the invoices on account).
You will receive a warning if you remove a job from a job collection where a cross-job draft reconciliation exists that involves the given job. Since a job invoice on account may have some draft reconciliation that goes to a job that has been removed from the job collection, you will receive a warning if you try to set a larger amount for reconciliation directly on the invoice. |
Available for Reduction | This field shows the sum of previously on-account-invoiced amounts less any amount already used for reducing invoice entries. Thus, this field represents the amount available for further on-account reduction. |
On Account Reduction | In this field, you can enter the maximum amount by which the “Net Invoiced On Account” can be reduced at the next normal invoicing or crediting. This value must be positive for invoicing or negative for crediting. Maconomy seeks to arrive at the reduction by going through any non-reconciled invoices and credit memos on account for the job. If the amount in this field is positive, Maconomy seeks to reconcile on-account invoices; if the amount is negative, Maconomy seeks to reconcile on-account credit memos. Maconomy will not automatically reconcile both invoices and credit memos on account. To do this, see the window Job Invoices On Account, in which you can fully control the reconciliation of invoices and credit memos on account. Changes made in that window are reflected in this field.
If you have previously edited the amount for an account reduction in the window Job Invoices On Account, the changes will be canceled if you enter an amount directly in this field, and existing invoices on account or credit memos on account will be settled with the oldest first. For more information, please see the description of the window Job Invoices On Account. If the current job is a fixed-price job, and the job is assigned the job parameter attribute “Allow Invoicing On Account Only” having the value “Yes,” this field cannot be changed, as invoices on account for such jobs are always reconciled when the job is closed. If the current job is set up for split billing (that is, there is more than one bill-to customer on the job), you cannot change the on-account reduction in this window. However, you can do this in the windows Bill to Customer Distribution and Job Invoices On Account. For more information, please see the description of the window Bill to Customer Distribution and the window Job Invoices On Account. Note: If the job has been set up to use invoice allocation, the amount for on-account reduction does not cover the invoices included in the fixed price. This is because these invoices are part of the invoice allocation. |
Work in Progress Island
Field | Description |
---|---|
WIP Available | This field shows the WIP available for invoicing for time activities and amount activities as well as the total WIP. |
WIP for Invoicing | In this field, you can enter the amount of WIP to invoice.
When you change the amount of WIP to invoice, Maconomy selects entries for invoicing, with the oldest entries first, to reach the specified amount. |
Carry Forward | In this field, you can enter the amount of WIP to carry forward. |
Billing Price | In this field, you can change the billing price of the WIP to invoice.
When you change the billing price, Maconomy adjusts the hourly rate proportionately to the registered rate, so as to obtain the specified total billing price. A change in billing price is only applied to time-related activities. |
Write-Up/Down | In this field, you can enter the amount of WIP to write down.
When you change the amount for Write-Up/Down, Maconomy adjusts the hourly rate proportionately to the registered rate, so as to obtain the specified total billing price. A change in Write-Up/Down is only applied to time-related activities. |
Realization Rate | This field shows the realization rate. This is based on the Billing Price and the WIP for Invoicing fields for time. You can change the Realization Rate which will adjust the Billing Price and Write-Up/Down accordingly.
When you change the realization rate, Maconomy adjusts the hourly rate proportionately to the registered rate, so as to obtain the specified total billing price. A change in Realization Rate is only applied to time-related activities. |
Exclude Entries for Carry Forward | If this field is selected, entries in the table part marked for carry forward will not be included in the billing adjustment when changing the WIP for Invoicing.
The field can only be marked simultaneously with a change in the WIP for Invoicing field. |
Up/Down Island
Field | Description |
---|---|
To Date | These fields show the write-up/-down quantity and billing price of invoicing lines already invoiced. The “Quantity” column shows how many units have already been invoiced for the job. The “Billing Price” column shows how much has been invoiced for the job activity. |
Selection | These fields show the write-up/-down quantity and billing price resulting from invoicing the current invoice selection that has been transferred for invoicing in the table part.
Write-up and write-down are the differences between the registered quantity/amount and the invoiced quantity/amount. Write-ups are shown as positive figures, and write-downs as negative figures. |
Other Drafts | These fields show write-up/-down of draft invoices with the possible exception of recently created drafts. |
Total | These fields show the total write-up/-down quantity and billing price for the job after invoicing the current invoice selection that has been transferred for invoicing in the table part.
Write-up and write-down are the differences between the registered quantity/amount and the invoiced quantity/amount. Write-ups are shown as positive figures and write-downs as negative figures. |
Company Island
Field | Description |
---|---|
Company | This field shows the name and number of the company responsible for the current job. You cannot change the value here. |
Base Currency | This field displays the currency used as base currency in the company specified in the field “Company No.” above. See the field “Base Currency” in the window Company Information in the G/L module for a detailed description of the concepts of company base currency and enterprise currency. |
Settling Company Island
Field | Description |
---|---|
Settling Company | This field shows the name and number of the settling company that applies to the current job.
If the number in this field is different from the one specified in the island Company, Maconomy will automatically create intercompany entries at the posting of job invoices. In the intercompany entries, the company in this field will be the intercompany company. However, if the system parameter “Create intercompany entries for companies with same parent company” is not marked, intercompany entries are only created if the two companies involved are not both assigned to the same parent company. For further information about the influence of a settling company and how such a company is selected, please see the section “Multiple Companies” in the chapter “Introduction to the G/L Module.” Intercompany entries are described in the window Intercompany Accounts in the G/L module. |
Payment Island
Field | Description |
---|---|
Pmt. Terms | These are the payment terms that apply to the invoices for this job. Payment terms are chosen in the window Job Information and cannot be changed here. |
Blanket Invoice | This field is marked if the invoices (or credit memos) made for the job are to be blanket invoiced (or credited). Maconomy retrieves the value from the window Job Information, and you cannot change this field manually.
Blanket invoicing means that all non-invoiced but approved invoice selections are placed in one invoice when you print from one of the windows Job Invoicing or Blanket Invoicing Overview, and, provided the jobs involve the same company, department, bill-to customer, company tax code, currency code, and invoice currency code, and depending on whether they are taxed or not (check mark in the field Tax). If the layout rule selected for the job specifies main job invoicing, you can also include invoices on account or invoices that are to reconcile invoices on account in the blanket invoice. To blanket credit a customer, the same requirements apply. However, a credit memo selection will not be included in a blanket crediting if it was created from an invoice. To blanket invoice or blanket credit jobs which are not part of a main job/subjob structure with main job invoicing, you must use the windows Job Invoicing or Job Crediting, respectively. For more information, please see the description of the window Invoice Layout Rules. Note that if the system parameter “Blanket Invoicing per Main Job” is set to “Yes,” the jobs must be placed in a hierarchy to be blanket invoiced. |
Tax | This field shows whether the invoices are subject to tax. Maconomy retrieves the value from the window Job Information and it cannot be changed here. |
Currency | This field shows the currency of the invoice. Maconomy retrieves the value from the window Job Price Information and it cannot be changed here. |
Credit Memo Island
Field | Description |
---|---|
From Invoice No. | This field is used when you select the
Invoice to Credit Note action.
Enter a job invoice number. Maconomy verifies whether the number is assigned to an existing job invoice associated with the current job. If the entered invoice number belongs to an invoice on account, the Restore Job Entries check box is automatically selected. An invoice number cannot be entered in this field when corresponding to a pending or cancelled pre-invoice. |
Type | Choose to show invoice lines for T&M invoices or Invoice on Account for invoices on account. |
Restore Job Entries | This field is used when you select the action “Invoice to Credit Memo.” If you mark this field and select the action “Invoice to Credit Memo,” the job invoice specified in the field “From Invoice No.” will be reversed, returning the status of the job to the way it was before invoicing. If you specify a blanket invoice, only invoice lines regarding the current job are reversed. However, if the specified blanket invoice involves a main job/subjob hierarchy with main job invoicing and invoice selection from main job, the invoice lines from all jobs in the invoice will be reversed. For more information, see the description of the field “Includes Subjobs.”
If the invoice to be credited has reconciled job invoices on account and/or credit memos on account, these are reopened when crediting. If the field is not marked, job entries are created when the amount is credited. This field is automatically marked if the invoice number in the field “From Invoice No.” belongs to an invoice on account, and the mark cannot be removed. In this case, crediting the invoice causes the specified invoice on account to be reopened. The reopened invoice can be seen in the window Job Invoices On Account. When crediting an invoice which covers both T&M and on account, the field only affects the crediting of the T&M part of the invoice. This field has no effect when crediting an invoice on account. |
Restore Pre-Invoices | Select this check box when crediting a T&M invoice to reverse the cancellation of any pre-invoices that were cancelled on that invoice.
Note: The cancellation of a pre-invoice is reversed only if the most recent cancellation is due to the invoice being credited. For example, if a pre-invoice is cancelled by printing a T&M invoice, then the cancellation of the pre-invoice is manually reversed. If this pre-invoice is cancelled again by another T&M invoice, crediting the first T&M invoice will have no effect on the pre-invoice. |
Reallocate Selected Entries Island
Field | Description |
---|---|
To Job No. | This field must be considered filled in before using the action Reallocate Selected Entries. |
To Task | This field must be considered filled in before using the action Reallocate Selected Entries. |
To Entry Date | This field must be considered filled in before using the action Reallocate Selected Entries. |
Print Specification Island
Field | Description |
---|---|
Invoice Layout | In this pop-up field you can select an invoice layout rule to apply to the invoice selection. The layout selected for the current job in the Jobs window is used by default. For more information about invoice layout rules, please see the description of the window “Invoice Layout Rules.”
If the current job is a main job and has already been invoiced, you can only change the rule in this field if the selected rule has the same selections regarding invoicing subjobs as part of main jobs. This means the “Main Job Invoicing” and “Main Job Invoice Selection” fields must have the same value as the initially used invoice layout rule. Task group information can be shown on the invoice layout if this has been selected in the Invoice Layout Rules window. For further information on task groups in invoice layouts, see the description of the “Level 1” field in the Invoice Layout Rules window. |
Detailed Invoice Specification | Use this field to select a detailed invoice specification. |
Include Detailed Specification | Select this box to include detailed specification in the invoice. You can select this box only if the job is set up to create a detailed invoice specification. |
