Selling Description |
This field displays the item selling description when an item is entered. This field is non-editable if you are using the price catalog to bill items. If you do not wish to use the price catalogs to bill items then you should enter a selling description here. |
Quantity |
Enter the number of units to invoice. Units billed through this screen do not update billing history tables with amounts or number of units billed. |
Unit Price |
For units invoiced by price catalog/item, the unit price defaults in from the Manage Price Catalogs screen. This unit price can be overridden. If you are not using the price catalog to bill you must enter the unit price in this field. |
Total Unit Amt |
This field displays the number of units billed multiplied by the unit price. It cannot be modified. |
Disc % |
Use this field to store volume or good customer discounts. Discount percentages entered in this field are multiplied by the Total Unit Amt to arrive at a Disc Amt. Costpoint uses the Disc Amt to immediately reduce the invoice amount. Therefore, the invoice amount and billed receivable recognized and posted are net of this discount. Do not use this field to store prompt payment discounts because you do not know, when preparing an invoice, whether a customer will pay within the terms eligible for discounts. Prompt payment discounts are applied during the entry of cash receipts; however, they are typically applied against an invoice that has been recorded at the full invoice amount. |
Disc Amt |
This field stores the discount amount arrived at by multiplying the Disc % by the Total Unit Amt. It can be modified. If you modify this field, the Disc % field reflects the new percentage of the discount. This field is used to store volume or good customer discounts. The Disc Amt is used to immediately reduce the invoice amount. Therefore, the invoice amount and billed receivable recognized and posted are net of this discount. Do not use this field to store prompt payment discounts since because you do not know, when preparing an invoice, whether a customer will pay within the terms eligible for discounts. Prompt payment discounts are applied during the entry of cash receipts; however, they are typically applied against an invoice that has been recorded at the full invoice amount. |
