Advanced Billing

Hi Kathy,

An 'Advance Billing Line' is different than an 'Unreceived Billing
Line'.

The "Invoice/Receipt" match only works with the 'Unreceived Billing'.

If you do an 'Advance Billing', than you would need to match a new
invoice to the receipt to clear it. This matching would subtract out
any advances paid.

We do not have any vendors we pay in full up-front, but we have many
that we pay partial with order and this is where we use Advance Billing.

From Vantage Help... Question: How do I choose between Advanced Billing
and Unreceived Billing in A/P Invoice Entry?

Vantage allows you to enter two different kinds of A/P Invoice without
requiring a receipt: Advanced Billing and Unreceived Billing.
You should enter Advanced Billing Invoices when you are making an
advanced payment on a shipment to be delivered later. Examples of this
are downpayments or deposits that will later be credited against the
final invoice.
You should enter Unreceived Billing Invoices when you are entering an
invoice for a shipment that is already in-transit, but which has not yet
been received. Instances of this will most likely occur when electronic
invoices are received before the material for which the invoice is
written. You must later match all Unreceived Billing Invoices against
receipts in A/P Invoice/Receipt Match.

HTH,
Sarah

I Must be missing something....

We are on Ver 6.10.533

I am trying to use the Advanced Billing Line feature in A/P. A vendor
requires full payment with the order. After I set up my PO, I go into
Invoice Entry and enter an invoice in order to generate a payable check
for payment. I use the Advance Billing Line to attach the payment with
the PO. I then go into payment entry and print a check. So far so
good. A week later I receive the merchandise, the goods are received
in against the PO. Now I have an uninvoiced receiver. How do I match
the advanced payment with the receiver? When I go into Invoice/Receipt
Match for the vendor nothing is available, no prepayment invoice, no
receipt.

I need to advance bill on a sales order (version 4.0). When the order
actually ships I need to show negative dollars on a line on the invoice
which will pay back the advanced billing. Example: I advance bill $100,000
in 2001 and when I actually do my first shipment in 2002 I will have one
line for two pieces @ $5,000 each = $10,000 and a second line for negative
$2,000 to recoup my progress payment. My total invoice amount will be
$8,000. If I put my original $100,000 to deferred revenue then what
accounts should I put my $10,000 and $2,000 to? I want $8,000 to go to
A/R and sales and $2,000 to go to reduce deferred revenue. Is there a way
to handle this automatically in Vantage? Any and all help will be
appreciated.

We have used the advance billing function for several years and it will
handle the transactions automatically for you. After you generate your
shipment invoice you can edit the line to give any amount of advance billing
credit you want. You do not need a second line on the invoice. The advance
billing credit will print with the shipment line. Vantage will debit your
A/R 8,000, debit your deferred revenue 2,000, and credit your sales 10,000.

Sandy,

We use Advance Billing alot. Vantage will handle this automatically.
You do not need to enter the negative on your sales order. Vantage
will debit your
A/R and Deffered, and credit your sales 10,000.
