RE: [SYSTEM21] Sales Ledger Contra

[MLemon@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Neil,

Have you considered populating the SLPi0 and SLPi1 files and kicking off the
sales ledger interface program?  (Call SLI00CLP).  

JBA used to have a nice document showing how to populate the Sales Ledger
interface files.  Perhaps you can still obtain it from Geac.  The interface
is used by the Job Management and Service Management modules to post
invoices to the Sales Ledger.

By processing the "credits" through in this manner, you will affect all of
the SLP files without having to re-engineer how to do it.  Also, this would
leave a trail in your database that shows the offset being taken.  (As
opposed to just reducing the balances)

Once the process completes, you would still have to allocate the credits to
the invoices to clear the open balances.  Depending on the allocation
methodology that your company uses, this could be rather painless.

Michael,
Thanks for the reply.
Numerous customers are involved.   We pay them commission by way of credit
notes on their Sales Ledger account.  An off-AS400 system decides which
Invoices should be downed by which credits, and that will supply a file to
the 400 for processing.  

Basically, I'm looking at changing the balance due figures on the relevant
SLP15 and SLP20 records.  Just wondered if anyone has experience of this,
and whether period balances might need updating too?

Regards,

Neil.

Neil,
How many customers are involved?
Could you use the Contra Accounting Function?

Subject: [SYSTEM21] Sales Ledger Contra

We would like to run a simple Contra on A/R open items via a batch program
that reduces the balance on a particular invoice by part or all of the value
on a credit note. The CR would also have it's balance reduced by that
amount.

I'm happy with the way we intend controlling and logging these entry's, but
my question is - has anyone ever "adjusted" balances on SLP15 and SLP20 in
this way?

Thanks in advance,

Neil.
