Supplier Invoice Types

Screen management

Entry screen

Presentation

An invoice type is defined by an alphanumeric code of five characters. It is this code that will be called during supplier invoice entry.

The invoice type set up is performed on a single screen where the following fields need to be assigned:

Purchase invoice types

The user invoice type can be defined:

of invoice type: this type of transaction refers to orders and/or receipts. These received invoices can deal with previously recorded receipts, orders that are not received yet or orders without receipt (general purchases).
of additional invoice type: this type of transaction refers to invoices that can only be assigned to already invoiced products. These invoices can only come from:

the supplier of the goods (in case of an additional invoicing, for instance),
another BP than the supplier of the goods and that must be entered on products in the case, for instance, of invoices for freight charges or customs expenses.
This additional invoicing can also generate price adjustment movements for products managed in stock.

of credit memo type: this type of transaction is used to totally or partly cancel an invoice in the event of dispute on the price or the quantity.
of credit memo on return type: this type of transaction is similar to the previous one, except that it needs to be reconciled with the return that generated it.

Automatic journals

If this field is empty, the PIHI automatic journal will be used.

Fields

The following fields are present on this tab :

Block number 1

Invoice type (field PIVTYP)

The invoice type is used to identify the invoice category and define different invoice categories.
For example: Invoice France and invoice export.

The invoice type is associated to a type of journal for which a counter (manual or automatic) is specified.

Legislation (field LEG)

In creation mode, the legislation code can be initialized via the user parameter LEGFIL - Legislation (selection filter) (SUP chapter, INT group). This parameter is also used to filter the list left in order to present only the codes defined for this legislation and those defined at the "All legislations" level.
The legislation code is not mandatory. It is used to limit the use of an invoice type to companies liable to a given legislation.

Reminder of the main principles relating to the use of data or a setup element defined by legislation, when the company context is known (record, flow, etc.)

When a setup element is defined for a legislation, it can be used only when the legislation of the context is identical.
It cannot be used in a record set up with another legislation.
When a setup element is defined without legislation (that is to say : "All legislations"), this element can be used in every record, without any consideration of the legislation, unless there is a setup element with the same code, defined for the company legislation. In that case, only the setup element defined for the company legislation is suggested for the selection and accepted for the entry (as long as it is "Active").
If the setup element defined for the company is not "Active" and the setup element defined at the "All legislations" level is "Active", this setup element cannot be used.
An additional filter is applied on the setup element depending on the company group defined. This setup element can only be used and is only suggested for selection if the company to which the record is associated, belongs to this company group.

Example 1:
Setup of invoice type as follows:

Invoice types	Legislation
FAF	Blank = all legislations
FAF	FRA
CTD	Blank = all legislations
BEF	FRA
CVC	POR

When entering an invoice for a company with a FRA legislation, only the following invoice types are suggested for selection:

Invoice types	Legislation
FAF	FRA
CTD	Blank = all legislations
BEF	FRA

SEEINFO An additional filter is applied depending on the company group entered.
If, in the example above, a company group is also specified at the level of the FAF invoice type setup with the FRA legislation, this invoice type is suggested for selection only if the company belongs to the company group entered.

Example 2:
Setup of invoice type as follows:

Invoice types	Legislation	Group of companies
FAF	Blank = all legislations	Blank = all groups
FAF	FRA	GRP
CTD	Blank = all legislations	Blank = all groups
BEF	FRA	Blank = all groups
CVC	POR	Blank = all groups

When entering an invoice for a FRA legislation company, belonging only to the NOR group, only the following invoice types are suggested for selection:

Invoice types	Legislation	Group of companies
CTD	All legislations	All groups
BEF	FRA	All groups

The FAF invoice type cannot be used because, for the FRA legislation, it is defined for the GRP company group.

Description (field DESAXX)

This long description is used as a title in screens and reports.

By default the short title, the long title or the column header of a data are recorded (on creation/update) in the connection language of the user.
You can add your translation in another language using the Translation function:

Click Translation from the Actions icon in the corresponding field.
In the Translation window, add a new language code with the translation in this language.

A user who logs on with this language will view the short description, long description or column header in their connection language if a translation exists. Otherwise, these descriptions will be available in the folder language.

SEEINFO The connection language must be defined as a default language for the folder.

Short description (field SHOAXX)

Short title used in the screens and reports. This title is recorded in your connection language.

By default the short title, the long title or the column header of a data are recorded (on creation/update) in the connection language of the user.
You can add your translation in another language using the Translation function:

Click Translation from the Actions icon in the corresponding field.
In the Translation window, add a new language code with the translation in this language.

A user who logs on with this language will view the short description, long description or column header in their connection language if a translation exists. Otherwise, these descriptions will be available in the folder language.

SEEINFO The connection language must be defined as a default language for the folder.

Group (field GFY)

By entering a company group, you can limit the scope to companies in the selected group only. When this data is used for another record or with a setup element also defined in the group, a control checks that the groups have at least one company in common when the groups are different.

In addition, a consistency check is performed for the legislations of the companies in the selected group.
At least one of these companies must have the same legislation as the one entered in the Legislation field. If not, a warning message displays.

When using the document type, a consistency check is also performed between the legislation/group of the document type and the legislation/group of the document.

Setup

Invoice category (field INVTYP)

This is used to carry out the process on a specific invoice category.

There are five invoice categories:

- Invoice

- Credit memo

- Debit note.

- Credit note.

- Pro forma.

Purchase invoice category (field PIHTYP)

Invoice type (4 possible values:

2- Additional invoice (invoice linked to other invoices for, for instance, allocation of transport expenses)
3- Credit memo (credit memo linked to wrong invoices)
4- Credit memo on return (credit memo linked to the return of already invoiced goods)

Purchase auto journal (field COD)

The code entered in this field will be compared by the system with those that have been recorded in the automatic journal groups:

in case of common codes, the system will apply the criteria determined in the automatic journal groups,
if there are no common codes, the system will take into account the code of the automatic journal entered in this field.

BP auto journal (field COD2)

The code entered in this field will be compared by the system with those that have been recorded in the automatic journal groups:

in case of common codes, the system will apply the criteria determined in the automatic journal groups,
if there are no common codes, the system will take into account the code of the automatic journal entered in this field.

Journal (field JOU)

Journal code assigned upon invoice creation. It will be used upon invoice posting.

This field is optional. If it is not entered, the journal will be determined by the setup of the automatic journal, otherwise via the journal type.

Entry type (field GTE)

Type of journal used upon invoice creation and posting.

This field is optional. If it is not entered, the journal type will be determined by the setup of the automatic journal.

Electronic signature

Record type (field RECTYP)

This field is displayed only when the KPO activity code is active.

The type of document is necessary so that it can be possible to assign to it a dedicated sequence number.
It can take the value :

Normal
Manual document recovery
This means that the source document has been generated manually in paper form (as the system was unavailable).
Backup document recovery
This means that already recorded documents have been lost due to the restoring of a backup. These are documents recorded between the time when the backup has been performed and the time when the backup has been restored.
It will be necessary to create them again manually.
For these two types of documents, it will be necessary to enter the original document number in the transaction (ORIDOCNUM field -Original document no. for invoices and MANDOC -Manual document, for the other types of documents).
External document
This means that the document was originally created in another software, which has provided the electronic signature. No electronic signature will be generated by Sage X3 for this document type.

SEEINFO The document number which is entered must be unique.

SAF-T document type (field SAFTINVTYP)

Use this field to assign the correct document type to the SAFT xml file.
The choice of the document type depends on the selected invoice category:

If the category is: Invoice, the value of the SAF-T document type can be: Invoice, Simplified invoice or Debit note
If the category is: Credit memo, the value of the SAF-T document type must be: Credit note
If the category is: Debit note, the value of the SAF-T document type must be: Debit note
If the category is: Credit note, the value of the SAF-T document type must be: Credit note
If the category is: Proforma, the value of the SAF-T document type can be: Proforma or Consignment invoice.

This field is only displayed if your system is set up for Portuguese localization, that is the activity code KPO is active.

Automatic invoice (field AUTINV)

This field is displayed only when the KPO activity code is active.

This field is used to specify if the invoice type results from the self-invoicing process. The invoice is created by yourself instead of being created by the supplier. As the supplier does not create the invoice, two options are possible for SAF-T:

You send the file directly to the State, with these invoices.
You send the file to the supplier and he is responsible for sending it to the State.

Fixed assets

Invoicing element distribution (field FASDSPLIN)

This setup is used when validating purchase invoices leads to the automatic creation of expenses in the Fixed Assets module.
Specify the distribution terms of the invoicing elements on invoice lines, which must be taken into account when creating expenses.

Distribution by invoicing element: setup applied at the level of invoicing elements taken into account.
When a distribution is requested, the amount of each expense is increased of reduced in proportion to the distributed part of the invoicing element.
When no distribution is requested, an expense is created for the entire amount of the invoicing element.
No distribution: no distribution is applied, regardless of the setup defined for invoicing elements. An expense related to the entire invoicing element amount is automatically created when validating the purchase invoice. This option is particularly useful when a breakdown is set up at the level of invoicing elements, and the automatic journal is set up for a posting by account.

By default:

for journal PIHI and PIHI3, no breakdown is defined in the setup,
for other journals, the setup defines a breakdown by invoicing element.
