Field | Explanation |

Application/Invoice Date
(APDT) |
The date of the last or current application. (An application is assigned each time an invoice is issued for the contract.)
Form-specific information The date that the system assigns to the invoice. This date is updated during the invoice generation process, but you can override it when you choose an invoice batch for invoice journal generation. This override function is controlled by the Billing System Constants. |
G/L Date
(DG) |
The date that identifies the financial period to which the source transaction was posted. Based on the company's fiscal year and current accounting period, the system edits the date for PBCO (posted before cutoff), PYEB (prior year ending balance), PACO (post after cutoff), and WACO (post way after cutoff).
Form-specific information The system assigns the G/L date during the invoice generation process. You can override that date, however, when you choose an invoice batch for invoice journal generation. You control this override function with the Billing system constants. |

Manually add costs that exist in the Account Ledger (F0911) table and are not currently in the Billing Workfile, if necessary
Manually add ad-hoc costs or credits to the invoice, if necessary
You can add workfile transactions to a new invoice, an existing pay item in an invoice, or a new pay item.

Removing ad-hoc transactions from an invoice | Caution: Ad-hoc transactions that you add to an invoice are not represented in the Account Ledger (F0911) table. If you void the invoice, the system returns the ad-hoc transactions to the workfile. Ad-hoc transactions in the workfile are eligible for processing. You must change the status of the ad-hoc transactions and remove them from the workfile to prevent billing for the transactions in error.
See Section 6.5, "Entering Ad-Hoc Workfile Transactions" for more information. |

When a customer is overcharged and you want the customer's account to reflect the correction, you create a credit memo. Generally, a credit memo is assigned document type RM. You manually create credit memos using the same steps as manually creating an invoice.
You can add the credit memo to an existing batch or to a new batch header. You can also add existing workfile transactions or enter ad hoc workfile transactions to a credit memo. The workfile transactions must have negative amounts to correct the customer's account balance.
On Batch Review
Locate a batch of invoices or create a new batch header.
To review the invoice information for a specific batch, choose Detailed Batch Review (Option 1).
On Invoice Creation Window (P48INV), complete the following fields:
Customer Number
Bill From Date
Bill Thru Date
Invoice Date
A/R Company
Document Type
Remember to enter RM as the document type. This value identifies this transaction as a credit memo in the Accounts Receivable ledger (F0311).
If you work in a multi-currency environment, complete the following field:
Exchange Rate Date Basis
Complete the following optional field:
G/L Date
Choose Edit and Submit (F6).
The new credit memo appears on Invoice Entry Review without a gross amount. You can then add workfile transactions or ad hoc transactions with negative amounts.

From Invoice Generation (G4824), choose Batch Review (P48221)
You release retainage when work is completed and the customer authorizes payment for the retained invoice amounts. When you release retainage, you manually create a pay item for the retained amount. You can add the pay item for retainage to an existing invoice or you can create an additional invoice. This retainage release invoice shows a negative amount representing the retained amounts from prior billings for your customer. You cannot release partial retained amounts.
JD Edwards World recommends that you maintain a one-to-one relationship between your invoices and retainage release invoices. If you combine the retainage for multiple invoices on a single retainage release invoice, and you need to void one of the invoices and its retainage, you will have to void the retainage release invoice for all the invoices. Then, you must re-release retainage on the remaining invoices.
On Batch Review
Complete the steps for creating an invoice manually.
On Invoice Entry Review (P48222), choose Review Invoice (Option 1) for the invoice.
On Service Billing Invoice Entry (P4822), choose Retainage Release (Option 7) for a pay item that does not include billing detail.
The system displays Invoice History Inquiry (P48250).
On Invoice History Inquiry, choose Release Retainage (Option 7) to release retainage for the invoice.
Choose Edit and Submit (F6).
The system marks each invoice with P in the Retainage Release Only (RTRE) field.
Choose Exit Program (F3).
After you release retainage, the system updates the following fields:
On Service Billing Invoice Entry, the released retainage amount is displayed as a negative number in the Retainage Amount (RTNG) field.
On Invoice Entry Review, the Gross Amount (THPD) field is blank.
On Batch Review, the Total Amount (AME) field includes the released retainage amount.
