What Happens During Invoice Posting

During posting, these updates occur:

• For each invoice, debit, or credit transaction posted, if the transaction is an invoice or a debit, the system increases:
  • the customer's posted balance by the sum of the total transaction amount
  • the customer's sales YTD and sales PTD values by the amount of the transaction.

    If the transaction is a credit, the system decreases the customer's posted balance, sales YTD, and sales PTD in the same manner.

• The customer's Last Invoice Date field is updated with the invoice date for the transactions.
• New open items are created, one for each transaction that is posted.
• Entries are created in the General Ledger A/R Distribution (AR Dist) Journal.
• For each transaction, one journal record is created for the Accounts Receivable amount, and one transaction is created for each distribution record entered.
