Fields And Definitions

* = required field
​
​

  • *Product Group – A collection of products by Product Type for use on a Split Invoice record
    ​
    ​

  • Customer - The Customer to which this Split Invoice is associated
    ​
    ​

  • Chain Table - The Chain to which this Split Invoice is associated; applies to all Customers in the Chain
    ​
    ​

  • AR Account - Sets the AR Account on invoices associated with this Split Invoice to this value, overriding the AR Account value from the Customer/Chain
    ​
    ​

  • Vendor Num - The Vendor Number that identifies the distributor to the retailer for the products in the Product Group
    ​
    ​

  • *Split Credits – Determines the expected behavior of credits applied to a split invoice; when Split Credits = True, credits are split to another invoice. (default = False)
    ​
    ​

  • *Merge Multiple Invoices – Allows for invoices with matching product groups to merge into a single invoice (default = False)
    ​
    ​

  • *Accept Dex Price Adjustment– Determines if the wholesaler should accept changes to pricing submitted by the retailer during invoice transmission (default = False)

Best Practices

  • Don’t set split invoicing on the Chain and Customer level. Doing so will cause undeterministic behavior in the splitting of invoices.
    ​
    ​

  • Assign Product Types to a single Product Group
    ​
    ​

  • The Conflicting Customer and Chain Split Invoice Records report will show you if there are Split Invoices set for both Customers and Chains. This conflict can cause logic problems, so referencing this report periodically ensures that Invoices are Splitting in expected and predictable ways.
    ​
    ​

  • Consider common optional configurations for Split Invoices such as: AR Account, Terms, DUNS Number, or Invoice Template
