Invoices

This form is used to invoice Sales Orders that have been shipped. Preliminary invoices or post invoices can be printed by clicking on the "Print" button on the Sales Order form. This has no general ledger effect and the invoices are not marked as invoiced. De-selecting the ''Make Invoices Final" flag on the "Print Invoices" form has the same effect.

Beginning in version 15.03, users now have the option to "roll up" invoices and payments for a Sales Order and all connected backorders. For example, if one Sales Order will result in 20 separate shipments, there will be a total of 20 orders - one main Sales Order and 19 backorders. It can be cumbersome and time-consuming to invoice and pay each of the 20 orders separately. Therefore, Deacom now offers the option of "Combined" invoicing.

  • When clicked the selected order will be un-invoiced using the invoice date(to_invdate) as the un-invoice date, and the un-shipped using the shipped(to_shipped) date as the un-shipped date. If the order was not invoiced, the order will be un-shipped. If the order was also not shipped, the user will be prompted with this information.

Posting Date

Used to specify the date postings will hit the GL.

  • Blank by default.
  • If left blank, the document date will be used as the posting date unless the "Use Ship Date as Invoice Date" flag is checked. This date will appear as the "Invoice Posted" (to_invpost) date on the Dates tab when viewing a Sales Order. This allows the GL to be backdated while still showing the aging based on the date printed.

Document Date

Used to specify the date the invoice is printed in the system and the date the Sales Order will be marked as invoiced in the system.

  • Defaults to the current date.
  • If the "Use Ship Date as Invoice Date" flag is checked, the date the order was shipped in Deacom will be used as the invoiced date.
  • Terms in Deacom will use this date when determining due dates and aging calculations.
  • This date will appear as the "Invoiced" (to_invdate) date on the Dates tab when viewing a Sales Order.

Email Type

Determines how the invoice(s) will be emailed to customers. Options are Automatic, Manual, and Follow Bill-To.

  • Email invoices are generated via two different options: The "Print Invoice To" field on the General tab of the Bill-to record or when selecting "Email" as the Print To option on the Copies To Print form.
  • If this field is set to automatic, the system will email the invoices automatically and users will not have to manually send each email via the "Send Email" form. Note that the system will group all invoices for the same Bill-to customer into one email with individual attachments for each invoice.
  • If set to manual, users will receive the "Send Email" form for any customer that has their "Print Invoice To" field set to email or when selecting "Email" as on option on the Copies To Print form.
  • If set to Follow Bill-To, the system will evaluate the "Email Type" field on the General tab of each Bill-To record in the list to determine if invoices should be emailed manually or automatically, depending on the setting set on the Bill-To record.
  • If using the Automatic setting, the subject line of the email will display INVOICE when emailing an order with a $0 dollar amount or above. The subject line of the email will display CREDIT MEMO when emailing an order with a negative $0 dollar amount.
  • Beginning in version 17.01.010, the "Invoice Email" and "Statement Email" fields on the Edit Bill-To form can be to define specific email addresses when printing either Invoices or Customer Statements respectively to email. If either of these fields is not populated, then the system will fall back to using the email address in this field. This support cases where one user receives Invoices and another receives Customer Statements

Make Invoices Final

Use Ship Date as Invoice Date
