Field Definitions: SM Invoice Review Form
The following is a list of field descriptions for the SM Invoice Review form. Many of the descriptions include links to other topics that provide additional information about or related to the topic.
Seq
This field defaults the system-assigned sequence number for this invoice or invoice line. This number cannot be changed.
Invoice No
This field automatically defaults a system-generated invoice number. Accept the default or enter a new invoice number. Up to 10 characters allowed.
The system generated invoice number is based on the Last Invoice Number field in AR Company Parameters; overriding the default will not update this field.
If you override the default with an invoice number that already exists in the SM company (for any customer), you will receive a warning that the number already exists and entry will not be saved.
Bill To
This field defaults the Bill To customer specified on the work order. Accept the default or enter the customer to which this invoice will be sent. Press F4 for a list of valid AR customers.
Alternate Billing Address
Alt. Addr. field on the SM Invoice Review form Info tab.
Enter the Alternate Billing Address Sequence number created in AR Customers. Press F4 for the Accounts Receivable Alt Billing Address Lookup form. Press F5 to access the AR Customers form where alternate billing addresses are maintained.
Billing Address
The billing address fields default from the Mailing Address fields in AR Customers when you enter the customer name in the Bill To field. You can override this address in these fields as necessary. When you update a field on this form, the system will not update the fields in AR Customers.
Pay Terms
Enter the payment terms to use for this invoice. Initially defaults the pay terms assigned to the "bill to" customer in AR Customers or as blank if no pay terms are defined for the customer.
Custom Invoice Report
Enter the identification number of the invoice report to use for previewing/printing this invoice or accept the default. Press F4 for a list of valid custom reports.
This field defaults the custom invoice report assigned to the service site in SM Service Sites. If a custom report is not specified for the service site, the system defaults the custom report assigned to the customer (in SM Customers). If no custom report is specified for the customer, it will use the Default WO Invoice Report specified in SM Company Parameters. If a default work order invoice is not defined for the company, this field defaults as blank.
Leave this field blank to use the standard SM Invoice report.
Invoice Summary Level
Specify how to summarize invoice detail for this invoice. Initially defaults the summary level defined for the customer in SM Customers.
L-Line — This option will summarize invoice detail at the line level as follows:
For invoice lines associated with work complete lines, the system will summarize, for each scope on a work order, all work completed lines of the same type (Labor, Equip, Part, and Misc) and print the totals in their respective columns on the invoice (Labor, Equipment, Parts, and Other).
For invoice lines associated with Flat Price work order scopes, the system will print a summary of each scope based on the specified billable amount and the revenue breakdown by cost type category. For example, if the revenue breakdown specifies 30% of the flat price for Labor, the Labor colum will show 30% of the billable amount.
C-Cost Type — This option will summarize invoice detail at the cost type level as follows:
For invoices associated with work completed lines, the system will summarize all work completed lines referencing the same cost type and print a single line for that cost type on the invoice. Totals for work completed lines with no cost type assigned will print first, under the heading of "***NO COST TYPE***".
For invoice lines associated with Flat Price work order scopes, the system will summarize each scope based on the specified billable amount and the revenue breakdown by cost type category and cost type. For example, if the revenue breakdown specifies 30% of the flat price for Labor/Cost Type 1, and 25% for Labor/Cost Type 2, the invoice will print one line for Cost Type 1 for 30% of the billable amount, and a second line for Cost Type 2 for 25% of the billable amount. Revenue breakdown entries with no cost type specified will be summarized under the heading of "***NO COST TYPE***"
T-Transaction — This option will summarize invoice detail at the transaction level as follows:
For invoices associated with work completed lines, the system will print a separate line for each work completed line associated with the scope.
For invoices associated with Flat Price work order scopes, the system will print a separate line for each revenue breakdown category/cost type combination associated with the scope. All revenue breakdown entries without a cost type specified will be summarized under the heading of "***NO COST TYPE***".
Description of Work
Use this field to enter a description of the work included on this invoice (e.g. reason for billing). The space allowance is virtually unlimited; however, the information entered here will print on the invoice, so it is suggested that you limit entry to only that information that is important to include on the invoice.

Due Date
Required.
Enter the due date for this invoice. Initially defaults a due date based on the payment terms assigned to this customer/invoice.

Use this field to enter the post month of the invoice. When you click the Process button, the system will create an invoice batch and use this date as the post month.
This field defaults to the current month and year.
If this is a previously posted invoice and the original posting month has been closed, changes to the invoice will require entering a new (open) post month.
Edit Record/Remove Line
If necessary, edit existing invoice lines by selecting line from grid and clicking Edit Record; this will open the related work completed form, allowing you to make necessary edits.
To remove an invoice line that you do not want included with this invoice, select the line and click Remove Line. This will remove the work completed line from the invoice, but leave it available for invoicing at a later time.
Preview/Process
Click the Preview button to review and/or print the invoice before you process it. If ready to process the invoice, click Process. The system will create an AR Invoice Entry batch and display the AR Batch Process form. Then validate the batch, run/print the audit reports, and post the batch.
