Specifying options for invoices

You can specify the invoice date as the start of the financial period. The invoice date and the general ledger posting date are matched, because the general ledger posting date is replaced with the invoice date. You can also specify that financial period validation is performed each time an invoice is saved.

1. In the Organizations application, select the organization for which you want to set invoice options.
2. From the Select Action menu, select Purchasing Options > Invoice Options.
3. In the Invoice Options window, specify whether you want the G/L Posting Date field to be updated with the date in the Invoice Date field.
4. Specify whether you want the financial period validated each time an invoice is saved. Clear this option if you want the financial period validated when the invoice is approved.
5. For consignment types of invoices, specify the maximum number of lines that can be included on the invoice for a specific vendor. The default maximum number of lines is 40.
6. Click OK.
