Enter Cash Counter Invoices (RS41) Header Record

The Enter Cash Counter Invoices (RS41) Header record is available on every folder within RS41. The information on each folder relates to the Customer selected in the Customer field.

Note: The buttons found in the Footer section (at the bottom of the screen) are defined in this topic.

1. When RS41 first opens, the Sales Office window automatically displays.
   • Select the the Sales Office for this Sales Order and press Enter. Note: Sales Offices are defined in Mntn Sales Office/Whse Numbers (CC96). Each Sales Office may be assigned a set of distinctive prefix characters for the following RS41 transaction types: Invoices, and Credit Notes. By setting up unique Sales Offices you can easily identify the transactions for each Sales Office during the Invoice cycle.

   • The default Sales Office for your Operator ID is set up in Mntn Operator Passwd/Privilege (CC03), but you can select any Sales Office from the list.

     Note: If you have Sales Orders for different Sales Offices, you must close and reopen RS41 to select an alternate Sales Office.

2. After the Sales Office has been entered, one of the following windows/messages automatically displays:
   • If this is a new batch, the Invoice/GL Posting Date window opens displaying the current GL posting date. If you want to enter a different date, from the query associated with the Date field, enter or select the appropriate posting date. The date is validated to be within the current/next fiscal period for invoicing (as updated by SA89).

   • If the batch has entries in it, the following message displays: "Current Invoice Posting Date is dd/mm/yyyy". OK". Click OK to continue entering more invoices using this date. If you do not want to continue, then exit out of the program. You cannot change the invoice batch date until the invoice cycle has been completed (IN42/IN43/IN44) or, if you have only gone as far as printing the invoices in IN42, you can use GL Posting Date Maintenance (IN98) to change the invoice/GL posting date for this batch.

     Note: The invoice date is also the GL posting date and the inventory movement date. This date dictates the current or next month statistics.

3. Enter or select from the query the Customer code in the Customer field.
   • The following messages may automatically display, depending on the 'Sales Office', 'Alternate Ship-To' and 'Status' of the Customer when the Transactions Types is set to any option but 'Invoice':

     Note: Unlike Enter Orders/Quotes (OE30), messages indicating that the Order may go Hold are only warnings; any Order generated in RS41 will be Invoiced.

     • If the Sales Office selected is not the Sales Office set up for the Customer in Maintain Customer Master (SU13/Info), then the following message displays: "This Customer's Sales Office is (xx). Continue? Yes\No". Select Yes to continue entering the Order. Select No to clear the Customer code field and begin again.

     • If 'Display' messages are entered in Maintain Ship-To Addresses (SU14) for the current Customer, the message text from SU14 automatically displays. Click OK to close these message windows.

Once the message is closed, you can select an alternate 'Ship To Address' from the Ship To drop down menu on the General folder.

     • The Customer's Status is defined in SU13. Depending on the Status of the Customer, various messages automatically display. The following list defines every Customer Status available and the associated message:

       Note:The only Status flag that will keep you from generating an invoice is Delete. All other set flags for the Customer will display the messages but no holds are be applied to the order.

       • H - the Customer is new and is on Hold. The following message displays: "Customer Status is 'H'. This order will go on credit limit hold. OK". Click OK to close the message window.

       • D - the Customer is flagged for Deletion. The following message displays: "This Customer has been coded for deletion. OK". Click OK to close the message window. The Customer field automatically clears and you cannot enter Sales Orders/Quotes for this Customer.

       • P - the Customer is in Pending Credit status. The following message displays: "Customer Status is 'P'(Pending). Order will be held. OK". Click OK to close the message window. You can continue entering the Sales Order/Quote but the Order/Quote is automatically put on a Credit Limit hold and cannot be scheduled until the Hold is released using OE65.

       • A - the Customer is Active. Several messages and/or windows can display, depending on the setup and AR status of the Customer in SU13:
         • If the Customer is flagged for 'Summary Invoicing' in SU13/Invoicing and the 'Available for Retail Sales' check box is selected, the Summary Invoice Cost Centre window automatically displays. For more information on entering information into this screen click here. Note: If you have not purchased 'Summary Invoicing' as an option module this screen will never display for your company.

         • If the Customer has exceeded the Credit Limit defined in SU13/OE/AR (all open Orders plus outstanding AR balance exceeds credit limit), the following message displays: "Customer has exceeded their credit limit. OK". Click OK to close the message window.

         • If the Customer's Account is delinquent, the following message displays: "Customer's account is delinquent! Backorders might go on hold! OK". Click OK to close the message window.

         • If the Customer does not have a valid Payment Method set up in Maintain Payment Methods (IN08) for the Warehouse selected, the following message displays: "You cannot use this Customer.

4. The Customer Name & Address automatically display once the Customer code is entered (and all messages are closed). The defaults set up for the Customer in SU13 automatically populate the fields on each folder in RS41 and the cursor is automatically positioned in the 'Ship-To' field on the General folder.
