Split invoice functionality

This article describes the setup and functionality for splitting invoices by delivery address and tax account number (TAN).

On the Accounts payable parameters page, on the General tab, select the Product receipt or Invoice checkbox to post and split a product receipt or invoice that has different delivery addresses and TANs on the Purchase order page. The posted invoice will then be split by delivery address and TAN.

On the Summary update tab, on the Split based on FastTab, in the Delivery information row, set the Confirmation, Picking list, Packing slip, or Invoice option to Yes to post and split a confirmation, picking list, packing slip, or invoice where different delivery addresses and TANs are defined for different invoice lines on the Sales order page. The invoice will be split first by delivery address and then by TAN.

Important

• If no options for Delivery information are set to Yes, the invoice will be posted as a single invoice. No invoice splitting will occur.
• To split and post a packing slip where the invoice lines have different delivery addresses and TANs, you must set the Packing slip option for Delivery information to Yes.
• To split and post an invoice where the invoice lines have different delivery addresses and TANs, you must set the Invoice option for Delivery information to Yes.
• To post an invoice where the invoice lines have different delivery addresses but the same TAN, set the Invoice option for Delivery information to No. The invoice will be split by delivery address.

Example

In this example, the Invoice option for Delivery information is set to Yes on the Summary update tab of the Accounts payable parameters page. A purchase invoice is posted that has the following setup for delivery addresses and TANs on the lines:

• Item line 1: Delivery address 1, TAN-ABCD12345A
• Item line 2: Delivery address 1, TAN-ABCD12345A
• Item line 3: Delivery address 2, TAN-ABCE12345B
• Item line 4: Delivery address 3, TAN-ABCD12345A

In this case, the original invoice is split into two invoices and posted in the following way:

• Invoice 1 is posted for item line 1 and item line 2, because both lines have the same delivery address and TAN.
• Invoice 2 is posted for item line 3.
• Invoice 3 is posted for item line 4.
