Cost splitting
(= Split amounts)

It is possible to split the revenues, e.g. the cost splitting of consol files.

Indicates whether the amount has already been paid.

The indicator can be transferred to the accounting per interface.



Use one-time addresses in the Invoicing

In the outgoing invoicing, one-off addresses can be used for customers who do not have a fixed customer/account number, and proposed invoice recipients can be changed.

In some cases, customers, who have placed an order and are supposed to receive an invoice, do not have a fixed customer number.

This might occur because they do not belong to your customer base and are not expected to return.

→ Nevertheless, a debtor/creditor (D/K address) needs to exist due to the fact that the invoicing cannot be carried out with A addresses.

One-time addresses are suitable for these cases.

It is a real address number because it can also be processed by the financial accounting system.

The address is generated in the basic data (by the admin) and serves as the address of the invoice recipient in the order processing.  

Up to four one-time addresses for the invoicing can be deposited in the basic data COMPANY → INVOICING on the Administration tab.

No street or place is usually registered for such an address; only a short description and a name are registered as an identification instead.

The address fields for name, street and place are meant for a free choice of text when selecting said address in the invoicing.
→ This address can be entered manually.

Use one-time address with numbering

The one-time address with numbering is used on request of the accounting and will only come into effect in this department.

If the one-time address (e.g. D 3020) used in CargoSoft is used with a customer X and afterwards with a customer Y, the accounting prefers to separate both addresses.
With the activated numbering, a new address number is automatically created from a specific number range (here EINM) when saving the outgoing voucher.
It is numbered only in and for the financial accounts department.

A separate number range needs to exist → Administration tab in INVOICING in COMPANY.

Determine an alternative bill-to-party

It is possible to indicate an alternative bill-to-party in the addresses: ADDRESSES → Financial accounting sub tab in Accounting tab in ADDRESSES.

If an address is selected in the invoicing (or if the client is read when creating an invoice), for which an alternative bill-to-party was registered, this alternative address is automatically entered into the invoicing header data. The address of the alternative invoice bill-to-party is displayed at this point! The original address is not displayed here – neither in CargoSoft nor in the financial interface.

The alternative bill-to-party can also be an A address!  

The usual plausibility checks are carried out for the alternative bill-to-party:
If it is an A address, a valid, alternative financial accounts department account must exist

The following examinations are carried out for all other addresses:

  • Does the account exist in CargoSoft?

  • Is the account type permitted in the selected invoicing voucher type?

  • Is the account blocked?

  • Do the open positions exceed the credit limit (provided that this is to be checked)?

  • Is the indicated account a financial accounts department account?

Example in the order

The setting in the basic data is not visible when the invoice is created.
The following setting is possible as an example:
The address D 3007 - CargoSoft Hamburg has an Alternative bill-to-party: D 3008 → which is CargoSoft, Bremen.
This means that all invoices issued for CargoSoft Hamburg are sent to the financial accounting department of CargoSoft in Bremen, where they are then paid.

The procedure in the order processing looks as follows:

Order → Header data: Customer and Invoice recipient is CargoSoft Hamburg.

image2020-3-6_11-18-31-20240411-122143.png

 

Invoicing → Overview tab → Create voucher: CargoSoft Information informs.

 

Invoicing → Voucher header data: The voucher header data will display the address of the alternative bill-to-party. It is not editable! 

These preallocations made in the basic data cannot be changed in the order processing.
