Invoice Distributions

Invoice distributions are the default revenue account assignments on each invoice line. The AutoAccounting process derives the default revenue accounts after invoice entry. You can review or update the distributions for an invoice in the Edit Distributions window.

The default accounting that AutoAccounting creates is considered interim accounting only. Use the Create Receivables Accounting process to actually create accounting entries in subledger accounting. Receivables uses predefined setup in subledger accounting so that the Create Receivables Accounting process accepts the default accounts that AutoAccounting derives without change.

If you're reviewing distributions for an invoice that uses a revenue scheduling rule, you must run Revenue Recognition before you can review and update accounting distributions. The revenue scheduling rule recognizes revenue over multiple general ledger periods.

If the invoice is a project-related invoice, then no distribution information is displayed.

One or more rows can refer to the same transaction line, depending on the distributions. You can change the transaction account assigned to each distribution, but you can't create new lines or delete existing lines. If you change a row that has already posted to general ledger, Receivables doesn't alter the posted entry, but instead creates adjustments through additional accounting entries.

The default percent amount of each invoice line assigned to a transaction account is 100 percent, unless AutoAccounting is based on salesperson and the salesperson assignment is split. In this case, the field reflects the split and you can either accept this percentage or enter another one.
