Customizing the TLR ASDT Element

The TLR ASDT element (Total Amount Exc VAT Inc Sett) contains the sum of the STL ASDA elements in the preceding STL segments (before VAT is applied). The EDI data will be formatted in N2 format (formatted with an implicit decimal point and two decimal places), but you want the total amount (excluding settlement discount and VAT) to be displayed in the translation object in R2 format (formatted with an explicit decimal point). Therefore, you will change the screen format to reflect how you want the amount to be formatted in the translation object. In addition, you will make this field display-only, as the screen entry translation object users who use this invoice translation object should be able to view, but not change, the value in this field. Also, you will rename the field label.

1. Double-click the TLR ASDT element.
2. On the Validation tab, select R2 from the Form Format drop-down list box to indicate that this field will display a number with an explicit decimal point and up to two decimal places.
3. On the Display tab, do the following:
   • Select Display to make this field display-only.
   • In the Label field, enter Invoice Amount (Ex. VAT Inc. Sett.) to replace the existing text
4. Click OK to exit the dialog.
