Benefits

With Totals on Documents it is now very easy to check if the order has been filled in correctly and as expected. For purchase invoice this can also make checking both Total and VAT amounts easier.

Total Amounts

To always have an overview of the current total invoice amount and discount amount, five FlowFields are placed under the Lines section on all active and posted sales and purchase documents:

• Total Excl. VAT (LCY)
• Total VAT (LCY)
• Total Incl. VAT (LCY)
• Invoice Discount Amount
• Invoice Discount %

As you can see the Totals are shown based on the Order Lines which I entered on this Sales Quote. The field

It is possible to enter an Invoice Discount Amount here, which instantly recalculates the Totals:

After Sending & Posting the Sales Order we will find the same Discount and Totals on the Posted Sales Invoice.

This also applies for other Sales documents and Purchase Documents.
