Quick Invoice
  1. In the InvoiceLines section, enter values to represent each of the supplier's invoice lines.

 Note: The number of lines that appear by default is controlled by the Estimated No. of Invoice Lines from the Add a New Value page.  Use only those you need (there is no need to delete unused lines) and add lines as you need them (using the icon). Enter the following values:

  1. Amount– Enter the line amount.  If you entered amounts on the Add a New Value page there may already be a value in the field; update it as needed.
  2. GLUnit– This value should default.
  3. Description– Enter a description.
  4. The remaining fields represent the chartfield string.  Whether you enter any chartfields is a matter of local business practice.

The system will sum all line amounts, add any freight, tax, or miscellaneous charges entered, and compare the resulting value to the Gross Amount entered. The value of the Difference filed should be zero. If it isn't, verify the values you entered.
