Table Window

Record manual invoices in this table window. It allows you to enter multiple invoices quickly. For example, you could enter a bi-weekly or monthly billing cycle of invoices at one time.

Field	Description
Invoice Number	This field displays a unique Costpoint-generated invoice number created when you enter and save manual invoices. You should leave this field blank. If you have an invoice number already selected for your invoice, enter that invoice number in the bill number field. If you choose to enter your own invoice number, Costpoint checks the AR History table to see if that invoice number already exists. You receive a warning message if an identical invoice number is found in the history table and if the customer ID, project ID, customer PO ID, or transaction currency code you entered is different from the history table. If an identical invoice number already exists, but there are no discrepancies between the historical and current customer ID, project ID, customer PO ID, or transaction currency code, you will not receive a warning. If you post the duplicate-numbered invoice, the invoice you are posting is combined with the one already in the history table.
