A client wants the GL distribution for the invoice being paid to appear on the check advice.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that means the check must be entered as a cash invoice in a manual check batch, and not first as an invoice in an invoice batch.

For some vendors, the GL distribution is allocated to the same list of GL accounts, based on a percentage for each account. That's a perfect use for the Distribution Set field.

Is there any way to enter a Distribution Set when entering a cash invoice manual check?

Thanks

Steve

I guess from the lack of response that my guess about how a check must be entered is correct, and the answer to my question is no.

Consider this a suggestion to add the Distribution Set field to a cash invoice manual check.

What I'll have to do is create an importable manual check batch in Excel that will do the allocation there. It works but it's a workaround.

Thanks

Steve

Steve:

Yesterday was a holiday in Canada, which would accounts for the lack of response. That and the fact that I also had to look this up as I enter invoices first and then do a System Cheque Run.

I'll second your request for Distribution Sets to be included in the Manual Cheque Cash Invoice entry process.

Hi Steve/Doug,

Yes, our office was closed yesterday.

I have updated the request for Distribution Sets on Cash Invoices.

Another possible workaround is using Archive Manual Check Batches, if you would prefer this over importing batches.

I thought of Archive batches but it can’t automatically prorate a total to the various distributions based on a percentage like a Distribution Set can.

Or like Excel can.
