To define a custom account invoice status code

Parent Previous Next

The procedure to define a custom account invoice status code is as follows:

  1. Navigate to Quick Menu > Repairs > Configuration > Status Codes. The Status Code Details window is displayed.
  2. Click on New Status. All fields are activated ready for data entry.
  3. Enter a name for the custom account invoice Status code into the field provided 1 1.
  4. Enter a Description for the custom account invoice status code into the field provided.
  5. Using the Company drop-down field, multi-select all companies for which this status code is relevant, or choose the All option, as required 2.
  6. Using the Master status drop-down field, select an appropriate parameter value to reflect the overarching status for the new code i.e. Entered, Awaiting Authorisation, Authorised, Issued, Part Paid, Paid, On Hold, Overdue, Cancelled, etc.
  7. Using the Applicable to drop-down field, select the specific entity classification for the account invoice status code i.e. Account Invoice or Account Invoice Detail 2.
  8. Where the custom account invoice status code is the default progression setting for the overarching master status, activate the Map to default master tick box provided 3.
  9. Choose an Effective from date for this account invoice status code i.e. the date on which it came into effect 4.
  10. Choose an Effective to date if the account invoice status code is to be reviewed on a specific date or to capture a change of circumstances; a blank field means the parameter will be continually valid.
  11. Click on Save 5. The new account invoice status code is displayed in the alphabetical list, underneath the assigned classification heading.


Tip

1 To aid in identification purposes, it is good practice to devise and uphold a consistent naming convention for all custom account invoice status codes, including a reference to the overarching master status.

2 Where only a small number of parameter values are not required, activate the tick box first and then deselect items using the drop-down field; the tick box will be automatically removed once an item is deselected.

Note

1 System validation rules ensure that the name entered for each account invoice status code is unique for the effective period.

2 The entity values available for selection are filtered according to the chosen Master status code.

3 Only one account invoice status code can be assigned as the default for a specific master status classification within a single company; where an existing status code already has this setting the end user will need to reaffirm one or the other.

4 The Effective from date defaults to the current system date and cannot be left blank.

5 To amend the details of an existing parameter, expand the matching entity heading and select an account invoice status code from the alphabetical list, or type its name into the Search Status field. By default the list is filtered to show Current status codes. An alternative filter can be applied using the Select view drop-down field: Expired, Future or All combinations. Only a limited number of fields can be updated once a record has been created.
