To begin select your Creditor account by clicking on the lookup icon next to the Creditor field to bring up the Creditor search form.
In the Invoice No. field enter in your creditor/supplier invoice number.
And in the Date field enter in the invoice date, you will notice that the Due Date is automatically calculated this is based on the trading terms set against the Creditor account.
The Ledger Number will default to the Creditor Purchases control account from Creditor Maintenance.
Note: From Jiwa version 7.0.175 the ledger number is taken from the Creditor Sourced Purchase control account in Creditor Maintenance.
To change the default account click on the lookup icon next to the field to bring up your General Ledger Account search form.
In the Trans Amount field enter in the total GST Inclusive invoice value.
The Disp. Amount field is automatically populated with the GST exclusive value and represents the value that is being allocated to the selected ledger account.
Confirm the GST amount, if there is no GST applicable for the line then click on the drop down arrow to select the applicable GST code.
From the menu ribbon select Save to save your batch.
Invoices with Mixed Supply or Multiple Account Allocations
Where you have invoices with mixed supply (GST and GST free items) or costs that need to be allocated across a number of different ledger accounts then we use the Disp. Amount or Inc GST Dispersed Amount fields to control the value that gets posted to each account and/or tax code.
Select your creditor account and enter in the following details;
-
Invoice number,
-
Invoice date,
-
Confirm your ledger number, and
-
Enter in your total invoice value in the Trans. Amount field
Enter in the amount to be allocated to the ledger account in either the Disp. Amount or Inc GST Dispersed Amount field, this will depend on whether your dispersed value is GST inclusive or exclusive.
Change the GST description on the line if applicable.
When the Inc GST Dispersed Amount value is different to the Trans. Amount you will notice that the line will change to red. This is indicating that the total invoice amount has not yet been fully dispersed.
To continue allocating your invoice across multiple ledger accounts and/or GST codes move to the next line down and
-
Select your ledger number,
-
Enter the dispersal amount, and
-
Change your GST if applicable by updating the GST Description
When you have fully dispersed your invoice the lines will change back to black.
Remember to save as you are entering your remaining invoices into the batch.
Once you have completed your batch and are ready to update the Creditors and General Ledgers from the menu ribbon select Activate.
Once your batch is activated the status is updated to Closed and the batch is locked from further editing.
