Sage 100 ERP: How does the Repetitive Invoice Entry Function Work?

Sage 100 ERP Consultant Tip on Repetitive Invoice Entry

Question: Mike, we own Sage 100 ERP (formerly Sage MAS90), we would like to start using the Accounts Receivable Repetitive Invoice function, how does this work and what is it purpose?

Answer:  The purpose of the Accounts Receivable Repetitive Invoice task is for customers that purchase the same item or service over and over. It could be monthly, yearly or quarterly. Examples might be a monthly alarm service charge, toilet fee to a construction site, or a service charge such as bank fee or insurance charge.

The purpose is to set-up a template that could be used over and over again. 

Step 1:

From Modules>Accounts Receivable>Main>Repetitive Invoice Entry:

a)   Header Tab select the customer, reference, start billing, stop billing and other info.

b)   Lines Tab select the items to be included on the form.

c)   Totals Tab, review and Accept.

Step 2: 

Step one created the Repetitive Invoice template and you will create a separate one for each customer that will be receiving Repetitive Invoices. 

Then run the Repetitive Invoices by going to:

Modules>Accounts Receivable> Repetitive Invoice Selection. 

Enter in the parameters to run such as Cycle, Customer or Reference. Click the Proceed button which will create Invoices in Invoice Data Entry.
