Create/Modify Template - BAR3100

Accounts Receivable > Maintenance > Create/Modify Template

This page is used to create an invoice template for customers with reoccurring invoices (e.g., for monthly e-mail services, Internet access, forms support). Invoice templates are used with the Create Periodic Invoices utility to generate those periodic invoices. Invoice templates are models only and do not create any finance transactions when saved.

Create or edit an invoice template:

AddAdd a template.
OR

Account Code
Update Totals/Description.
DescriptionThe account description from the general ledger is displayed.
Amount

Type the amount to be applied from the invoice total, or leave blank and click Uniform Distribution to distribute the invoice total amount equally among multiple account codes.

Note: If you have not entered any amounts for the account code records, once all the account numbers have been entered, click Uniform Distribution, which distributes the dollar amount from the invoice total equally across all the account codes. If you enter only one account number, the entire invoice total goes to that one account, which prevents the user from possibly making an error when manually entering the data. If the uniform distribution does not handle pennies the way the user wants, the user can modify the amounts.

Click Save.
