Example: Foreign Invoice Split into Multiple Pay Items

For this example, you assign a split payment term to the invoice. The system splits the total amount into three pay items and calculates a one percent discount, as shown in this table.

Pay Item	Foreign Gross	Foreign Discount	Domestic Gross	Domestic Discount
001	33.33	0.33	46.67	0.47
002	33.34	0.34	46.66	0.46
003	33.33	0.33	46.67	0.47
Total	100.00	1.00	140.00	1.40

When you enter a foreign invoice with a split payment term, the system uses the foreign gross amount to calculate the domestic gross amount before it performs the split. The system actually performs two sets of splits - one for the foreign side and one for the domestic side.

In this example, the system started with 140.00 USD and divided it by 3 (46.666666). Because the system performs soft rounding, it calculates the domestic pay items according to the amounts displayed in the table. Note the foreign gross amount for pay item 001 (33.33) multiplied by the exchange rate (1.4) does not equal the domestic gross amount (46.67); instead, it equals 46.66. Soft rounding ensures that the total of the split amounts (46.67 + 46.66 + 46.67) equals the amount with which you started (140.00).
