Click the Pro Forma button to save the current component and run the Pro Forma process (BIIVC100) on the default server. If the invoice format is a Structured Query Report (SQR), the system saves the list file for the bill on the default server.

Click the Invoice button to save the current component and run the invoice job on the default server. If the invoice format is an SQR report, the system saves the list file for the bill on the default server

Note. If one or more invoice lines have a summarization template, then the system generates a summarized invoice or pro forma. If no lines have a summarization template, then the system generates a detail invoice or pro forma.

Click the ChartFields Display Override button to access the Online Override of ChartField Display Template page, where you can define the ChartFields that you use on the bill entry pages.

Note. Bill entry accounting templates affect the ChartFields that appear online. They do not determine whether a ChartField is populated with a value. The system can populate a ChartField automatically with a value defined in the distribution code.

Click the Change Bill Currency button to access the Change Bill Currency page, where you can change the currency type.

Note. You cannot change the currency to a currency with a different currency precision. If the number of decimal positions that are specified for the new currency is different from the number for the original currency, access the Customer - Miscellaneous General Info page to change the default currency in the customer record. Alternately, select the Prompt for Billing Currency Options on the Customer - Bill To Options page if you want the system to prompt you for the billing currency when you add a new bill for a customer.

See Changing the Bill Currency.

Go To Bill To Address button

Click the Go To Bill To Address button to access the Create Consolidated Header - Address page, where you can view more information about the customer, such as contact name or location.

Line

Displays the line number that the system assigns once you have run the Pro Forma Pre-process or invoice Finalization process steps if you enable the system to automatically assign line numbers automatically. The system assigns this line number according to the sort-by criteria that you specify for the invoice form. The field is blank until you perform either the preparation or finalization steps.

If you enable manual line numbering on the Installation Options - Billing - General Options page, you can enter this value manually. You can enter invoice line numbers on new bills or change existing bills by entering new lines, deleting lines, or updating invoice line numbers. When you save the page, the system re-sorts the invoice line numbers according to the line numbers that you enter. The system checks for duplicate line numbers, and if one is detected, it displays a Duplicate Invoice Line Number error message when you press Tab to exit the field.

Identifier

The value that you select in the Table field determines the options that are available. For example, if the bill line identifier comes from the Charge Code table, select the table value ID. The values available in the Identifier field would come from the Charge Code table. You can, for example, select from the Discount table or the Surcharge table to enter dollar amount discounts and surcharges.

Values for the Identifier field include:

• ID: The identifier originates from the BI_CHARGE table.

• D: The identifier is a discount code, which originates from the BI_DISC_SUR table.

• S: The identifier is a surcharge code, which originates from the BI_DISC_SUR table.

To enter a one-time only identifier (one that does not come from any pre-established table), leave the Table field blank and enter an identifier and description.

Bill Line Description

Enter or modify the description of the bill line.

Note. If you enter or modify a bill line description or a discount/surcharge description when you are signed onto the system in a language other than the base language, the system saves the description to the billing tables in the sign-on language only.

Modifications that you make in languages other than the base language might not be appropriate for other users who sign on to the system using a different language and view the same bill.

Additionally, the system prints bill line and discount or surcharge descriptions on invoices, which might not be appropriate when a customer’s language is different from the user’s sign-on language.

Consequently, the system saves the modified description to the billing tables in the sign-on language only. Users who sign on to the system using other languages will not have access to the modified description, they see the description in their sign-on language, or in the base language (if available). Additionally, when the invoice is printed, the system might not print the modified description if the invoice language is different from the language in which the description was modified.

Percentage

Displays the percentage of the bill line to be applied to the general ledger ChartField.

Important! You cannot save this bill in RDY (ready) status unless the total of all accounting lines for any non-zero bill line equals 100 percent. If you have already tried to save in RDY status and have encountered an error, first change the status to something other than RDY. After you correct the accounting line percentages, change status back to RDY and save it again.

Amount

You can enter an amount instead of a percentage of the gross amount to send to the account. When you do, the system calculates the percentage in the Percentage field. The restrictions on saving in RDY status still apply if you use amounts to calculate the percentages.

Stat Amount (statistical amount)

Displays the quantity of the unit of measure that is associated with the statistics code. This field must not equal zero (0) when you track data using a statistics code. When you enter a value in the Stat (statistics code) field, the Stat Amount field becomes available for entry.

Note. To track statistical information in conjunction with deferred revenue bills, use the Standard Billing - Acctg - Statistical Info page to enter the data by way of statistics account. Statistical data is passed to PeopleSoft General Ledger with current period entries on a separate accounting entry line. Statistical information might also be passed to PeopleSoft General Ledger with current period accounting entries from the Standard Billing - Acctg - AR Offset page, Standard Billing - Acctg - InterUnit Exp/Inv page, and Standard Billing - Acctg - InterUnit Payables page, as these accounting entries are not prorated into future periods.

Budget Date

The Load GL process (BILDGL01) searches for this value in the bill line distribution record for revenue, discount or surcharge, or interunit expense. If no value appears on these pages, the Load GL process uses the default value from the Accounting Date field in the bill header.

Percent

Displays the total percentage of account distribution.

Amount

Displays the total dollar amount that is assigned to all accounts.

Gross Extended

Displays the total gross extended amount for the bill line.

PO (purchase order)

Displays the associated purchase order number.

Contract, Contract Date, and Contract Type

If a sales contract is associated with the order, you can enter the contract number, date, and type.

Service Cust (service customer)

Use this reference field for unique business needs. This field is optional and prompts against the customer tables to enable you to select a customer from that list. You might enter a service customer if you are billing a customer for a service, but you are sending the bill to a different bill-to customer.

Resource Category and Resource SubCategory

Select to identify additional levels for defining and tracking resources. For example, you might have a general resource type, Labor, but want to track labor more specifically. By creating resource categories, you can track different types of labor such as architect, carpenter, plumber, and electrician labor. You could then create resource subcategories of standard labor and overtime labor. In this example, by using the resource types, resource categories, and resource subcategories, you could easily calculate total labor costs for a project, total overtime hours, architect overtime hours, or carpenter standard hours.

Open Item Key

When an Open Item account applies to or is chosen for a bill line, you must set the Open Item Key (unless the system is configured so that Receivables creates General Ledger accounting entries). The system displays the Open Item Key field on the Reference Information tab of the accounting lines only when you select an Open Item account.

Journal Line Reference

The system displays the Journal Line Reference on the Reference Information tab of the accounting lines whether an Open Item account applies. You may leave this value blank.

Progress Payment Sequence Number

Identifies a progress payment term in a contract.

Invoice Date and Accounting Date

Select the date that you want to appear on the bill. If you specify a value that falls within a period that is currently closed in PeopleSoft Billing, the system issues a warning. To specify an open period in PeopleSoft Billing, navigate to Billing Definition - Business Unit 1 page and click the Update Open Periods link to access the Open Period Update page, where you can define open periods for a GL business unit and ledger group.

If the invoice is associated with a VAT billing business unit, the system uses the invoice date as the effective date when processing VAT defaults. If you do not provide an invoice date, the system uses the current date as the effective date.

If you specify an accounting date in the Accounting Date field that falls within an accounting period that is currently closed in PeopleSoft General Ledger, the system issues a warning. To specify an open period in PeopleSoft General Ledger, use the Ledgers For A Unit - Definition page.

If you have defined this customer with subcustomer 1 and subcustomer 2 qualifiers in the Maintain Customers component, you must specify a value here and in the SubCust2 (subcustomer 2) field. If you have defined data to pass to PeopleSoft Receivables at the header level only, you can override this value. However, you cannot leave it blank. If it is blank, the system populates these fields with defaults that are defined in the Maintain Customer component.

Invoice Form

(Required) Select a format for the bill. You can add new invoice forms on the Invoice Formatting Options - General page.

Note. (NLD) When printing an acceptgiro invoice, you may only choose portrait-format invoice forms.

Click to access the AR Distribution page, where you can view the remaining ChartField accounts for the accounts receivable account.

Sales (salesperson), Credit (credit analyst), and Collect (collector)

If you do not specify these contacts, the system populates these fields with default values from the customer table.

Note. The system uses as the default value for the Sales field the team member on the default support team with the highest priority number that is defined on the Support Team Mbrs (support team members) page. Define the default support team on the Miscellaneous General Info page. For example, if you defined team member A with a priority of 002 and team member B with a priority of 003, the system selects team member A as the default sales person.

Biller (billing specialist)

The system populates this field with a default value from the business unit, bill type, bill source, or customer options, depending at which level you specified this value.

(NLD) Acceptgiro

The Acceptgiro indicator appears on the Header - Info 1 page when the billing business unit is eligible to generate acceptgiro invoices.

Bill To GL Unit (bill-to general ledger business unit)

Select to define a valid bill-to PeopleSoft General Ledger business unit and bill-from General Ledger business unit pair.

Prepayment Lookup

In PeopleSoft Billing, when you create an invoice online, click to access the Prepayment Lookup page, where you can search a list of documents and associated prepayment amounts from PeopleSoft Receivables for the customer ID.

Paid Amount

When you select an item, the system displays the amount in this field and the reference information in the Paid Reference field on the bill header. Overwrite this cross-reference and payment information, if necessary. The prepayment is reflected in the net amount due and is printed on the invoice. PeopleSoft Billing passes the PAID_REFERENCE value to the Document field in PeopleSoft Receivables. Consequently, you can match a specific prepayment to a specific contract, order, account, or policy number.

Note. To import prepayment information into PeopleSoft Billing through the billing interface, you must populate the PAID_AMT and the PAID_REFERENCE fields in the Billing Interface Header table (INTFC_BI_HDR). PeopleSoft Billing does not validate the data in the billing interface; you must validate prepayment information in the source system before you pass the data to PeopleSoft Billing.

Fwd Balance (forward balance)

Displays any prior balance that is unpaid.

Letter of Credit ID

Enter the letter of credit number. A letter of credit is a document stating a commitment to pay someone (supplier, exporter, vendor) a stated amount of money on behalf of a buyer (or importer) as long as the vendor meets specific terms and conditions as specified by the document. Use the Standard Billing - Header - Note page for any item descriptions or goods requirements.

Accrue Unbilled

If you selected Accrue Bills at This Level at either the bill type or business unit levels, then that information appears by default on this page and the system populates this option automatically. For the bill to be eligible for accrual, you must select this option.

Entry Event

Define the default entry event code for the entire bill. Valid options include only those values that are identified with the Receivable Update process (ARUPDATE). This field appears for each bill header only if entry events are defined as Required or Optional in the Billing field on the Installation Options - Entry Event page. The code that you select here uses default values for all bill lines for the corresponding bill and overrides the values that you set at the business unit and bill type levels.

Manual Line Numbering

Select No to disable the manual line numbering option. The default is Yes if you have enabled manual invoice line numbering on the Installation Options - Billing - General Options page. If you have not enabled manual line numbering, this group box does not appear.

Note. Manual invoice line numbering bypasses the chunking feature of PeopleSoft Billing. When you enable manual line numbering, the system disables the chunking buttons and sets the value of the Bill Entry Max Rows field on the Bill Entry Bill Line pages to 99999. Thus, when you call up a bill, the entire set of rows appears.

Document Sequencing

Click to access the Document Sequence page, where you can specify sequencing values for documents. Statutory legal requirements in some countries require that all financial transactions (documents) be classified into different transaction types, and that within each transaction type, all documents that you enter be numbered sequentially. The document sequencing feature enables you to maintain established business practices by meeting both of these requirements. If you have enabled document sequencing for a particular business unit and you create a document (such as a journal, invoice, or voucher) for that business unit, this link appears on the bill entry pages.

VAT Information

Appears only if the invoice is tied to a VAT billing business unit. Click to access the VAT Header Information page, where you can view or modify header-level defaults.

To inquire about VAT header information, access the page through the Inquire component. Standard Billing - Header - VAT Information has all the same fields in inquiry as in entry, but all fields are read-only.

VAT Information - Needs Review

Appears only if you have changed a VAT driver value after the system has applied VAT defaults. Return to the Header - VAT Information page to review the VAT driver data and ensure that the system-generated VAT defaults are accurate.

Exchange Rate

Accounting transactions are prepared in the base currency (the primary reporting currency of the PeopleSoft General Ledger business unit). Consequently, each bill needs a currency exchange rate that the system uses to convert bill currency to base currency. The currency code for the base currency appears beneath the rate type. The exchange rate converts amounts in the bill currency to an equivalent amount in base currency.

Rate Type

Displays the assigned rate type of the bill-to customer. You can select a different rate type.

Click the Exchange Rate Detail button to access the Exchange Rate Detail page, where you can review detailed information about the rate.

Source

Use to assign to bills the exchange rates from market rate tables. Alternatively, you can provide an exchange rate. To provide such a rate, select User. When you select User, the Rate Type field is available. Enter a revised rate, or click the Exchange Rate Detail button to enter detailed rate information on the Exchange Rate Detail page.

Euro Currency

If you enter a bill in euro-participating currency, the system requires an exchange rate to convert the bill currency to euros. For bills in euro-participating currencies, the euro currency code appears with a rate for converting the bill currency to euros. Click the Exchange Rate Detail 2 button for more information about the rate. The system always retrieves euro exchange rates from market rate tables. The euro exchange rate line is hidden if the bill is not in euro-participating currency.

Base Currency To

If you enter an interunit bill, the system requires an exchange rate to convert the bill currency to the base currency of the business unit to value. For interunit bills, this field is the base currency of the business unit to value. The system uses the corresponding exchange rate to convert the bill currency amounts to this base currency. Click the Exchange Rate Detail 3 button for more information about the rate. They system always retrieves interunit exchange rates from market rate tables. The system hides the interunit exchange rate line if the bill is not an InterUnit bill.

Business Unit

Displays the billing business unit that is associated with the bill header.

Invoice

Displays the invoice that is associated with the bill header.

Go Back To Bill Header

Click to return to the Header Info 2 page.

Click to expand all of the group boxes and display all of the fields on the Bill Header - VAT Information page.

Collapse All Sections

Click to collapse all of the group boxes and hide all of the fields on the Bill Header - VAT Information page.

Change Physical Nature

Click this button if you want to change physical nature (to goods or services) and reset all VAT defaults at this level only.

The system obtains the default for this field from the header level defaulting hierarchy, and uses this value as an input during the VAT defaulting process.

Ship From Country

The system obtains the default value from the ship-from business unit if available, or from the billing business unit location when there is no ship-from business unit. Because a location is required for all business units, the system always populates this field with an initial value.

In the case of transactions that involve goods or freight service transactions, use this field to determine the VAT treatment.

Ship From State

The system obtains the default value from the billing business unit location only when the ship-from country tracks VAT by province.

Ship-To Country

The system obtains the default value from the ship-to customer's address, or from the bill-to customer's ship-to address if the ship-to customer is not available. In the case of transactions that involve goods or freight service transactions, use this field to determine the VAT treatment.

Note. The Ship-To Country field value on this page will default from the country of any ship-to address you enter on the Standard Billing - Header - Order Info page.

Ship-To State

The system obtains the default value from the ship-to customer location state only when the ship-to country tracks VAT by province.

Location Country

For services only, displays the billing business unit (seller) location country.

Location State

For services only, displays the billing business unit (seller) location state. The system populates this field with a default value only when the location country tracks VAT by province.

Customer Location Country

For services only, displays the customer's (buyer) bill-to location country.

Customer Location State

For services only, displays the customer's (buyer) bill-to location state. The system populates this field with a default value only when the customer location country tracks VAT by province.

Service Performed Country

For services only. Depending on the services performed flag setting in the VAT defaulting hierarchy (for example, at customer or business unit level), the system sets the value for this field according to these premises:

• If the services performed flag is the ship-from location, the system defines the service performed country with the value from the ship-from business unit location country.

  If the system cannot obtain the ship-from business unit, it uses the billing business unit location country.

• If the services performed flag is the ship-to location, the system defines the service performed country with the value from the with the ship-to customer location country.

• If the services performed flag is the buyer's location, the system defines the service performed country with the value from the customer's bill-to location country.

• If the services performed flag is the supplier's location, the system defines the service performed country with the value from the billing business unit location country.

Service Performed State

For services only. The system obtains a default value for this field only when the service performed country tracks VAT by province. Depending on the services performed flag setting in the VAT defaulting hierarchy (for example, customer or business unit level), the system sets the value for this field according to these premises:

• If the services performed flag is the ship-from location, the system defines the service performed state with the ship-from business unit location state.

  If there is no ship-from business unit, the system uses the billing business unit location state.

• If the services performed flag is the ship-to location, the system defines the service performed state with the ship-to customer location state.

• If the services performed flag is the buyer's location, the system defines the service performed state with the customer's bill-to location state.

• If the services performed flag is the supplier's location, the system defines the service performed state with the billing business unit location state.

Service Type

If the physical nature of the transaction is defined as Service, this field appears. The system retrieves the value from the service VAT treatment default, according to the VAT defaulting hierarchy.

This value determines whether the VAT treatment is defaulted based on the ship-to and ship-from countries, or the buyer's and seller's countries.

Place of Supply Driver

If the physical nature of the transaction is defined as Service, this field appears. The system retrieves the value from the service VAT treatment default, according to the VAT defaulting hierarchy. It is used in determining the default place of supply, which determines where VAT is liable.

Reporting Country

Displays the country for which this VAT will be reported. This field determines many of the VAT defaults.

Defaulting State

Displays the state that defaults based on the VAT reporting country.

Customer Registration Country and Customer Registration ID

Displays the registration country and ID of the bill-to customer.

Customer Exception Type

Displays the exception that is granted to the customer. Options are: None, Exonerated, or Suspended. This value defaults from the bill-to customer VAT defaults.

Certificate ID

If applicable, displays the ID of the VAT exception certificate of the bill-to customer.

Calculate at Gross or Net

Indicates how VAT is calculated. Options are:

Gross: The system calculates VAT before it applies any early payment discounts.

Net: The system calculates VAT after it deducts early payment discounts. If there are two percentage discounts, the system uses the larger of the two when it calculates VAT. The system will not use discount amounts, only discount percentages.

The default value comes from the VAT entity driver.

Recalculate at Payment

Select this check box to enable the recalculation of VAT at payment time to allow for any early payment discounts, if you are calculating VAT at gross. This causes the system to adjust the VAT amount at the time of payment if the discount has been taken. This is set on the VAT entity driver.

Declaration Point

Displays when VAT transaction information should be recognized for reporting purposes. Options are:

Invoice: VAT is recognized at time of invoice.

Payment: VAT is recognized at time of payment.

Delivery: VAT is recognized on delivery.

This value is retrieved through the VAT hierarchy.

Declaration Date

If you leave this field blank, the system assigns a value during the Finalization process. The declaration date is not available for entry if the declaration point is set to Payment.

VAT Rounding Rule

Displays the VAT rounding rule. The value comes from the VAT country driver definition. Options are:

Natural Round: Amounts are rounded normally (up or down) to the precision specified for the currency code. For example, for a currency defined with two decimal places, 157.4659 would round up to 157.47, but 157.4649 would round down to 157.46.

Round Down: Amounts are rounded down.

Round Up: Amounts are rounded up with a rounding precision to one additional decimal place.

Treatment Group

The system determines this value based on the VAT defaulting algorithm. Options are: Domestic Sales, European Union Sales, Exports, No VAT Processing, and Out of Scope.

Within PeopleSoft, the system uses detail VAT treatment values on the transaction lines for applying the precise defaults applicable to the transaction lines. Each of these detail VAT treatment values are associated with a VAT treatment group. The system tracks the VAT treatment group on the header to ensure that individual transaction lines are grouped together under one VAT treatment group.

Adjust Affected VAT Defaults

Click this button to adjust the VAT Defaults on this page that are affected by changes you have made to this page.

The system retains all changes that you have made to VAT defaults that affect other VAT defaults.

If you change the value of any VAT drivers, click the List of Fields to be Adjusted button to review which VAT defaults will be affected by the modification when you click the Adjust Affected VAT Defaults button.

Levels

Displays the level of VAT defaults that will be affected when you click the Reset All VAT Defaults button. You may reset all defaults on the header and all existing bill lines, all defaults on the header only, or all defaults on the existing bill lines only.

Reset All VAT Defaults

Click this button to reset all the VAT defaults. All changes that you have made to VAT Defaults will be lost.

Unit Price

When you select an identifier, this field and the description, unit of measure, and revenue distribution code appear by default. Override any of these defaults, if necessary.

Quantity, UOM (unit of measure), Unit Price, and Gross Extended Price

Enter line-specific values. You must enter or verify these for each bill line. The system automatically computes the gross extended amount when you enter a unit price, and the system computes the unit price when you enter a gross extended price.

Less Discount, Plus Surcharge, and Net Extended Amount

Displays information that refers to this bill line only.

VAT Amount and Tax Amount

Tax amounts on the bill line are broken down into a VAT amount and a sales and use tax amount. The system tracks these amounts separately. Although both a VAT code and a sales and use tax code can appear on the same bill line, that is unlikely.

The Line VAT Alert warning appears if you modify VAT drivers after you applied VAT defaults for the associated bill line. Return to the Line - VAT Info page to review the VAT determinants and VAT defaults for the affected bill line and to ensure that these values remain accurate.

If you are in a VAT environment, the Go To Bill Line VAT Info Page button is enabled. Click it to access the Standard Billing - Line - VAT Info page to view line VAT defaults.

Error Status

Displays the third-party tax vendor error code and its description if you are using a third-party tax vendor and a tax calculation error occurs.

Line Type

(Required) By default displays the type based on the identifier that you enter in the Identifier field and the table from which it came. The different line types enable you to categorize the bill lines. Translate values are BRT (billing retainage, which comes from PeopleSoft Project Costing), ADV (advanced billing), REV (standard chargeable revenue lines), DISC, (discount lines), SUR (surcharge lines), FRGT (freight), and RSTK (restock). The translate values FRGT and RSTK are used primarily with PeopleSoft Order Management. Even if PeopleSoft Order Management is not installed, you can use these values to define the surcharge line.

Accumulate

Select to enable the accumulations feature. Accumulated balances enable you to define and run balances for any set of essential combinations in PeopleSoft Billing.

If you define the line item amount or quantity field for which you want to track cumulative balances on the Accumulation Description page, select this check box. If you update an existing bill line whose item amount or quantity field has been defined on the Accumulation Description page as one for which you track cumulative balances, the check box is selected by default. If you do not want to include this bill line amount or quantity in the cumulative balance for this line item, clear this check box.

From Date and Through Date

If applicable, enter the dates that are associated with this bill.

Tax Code, Tax Exempt, and Exempt Certification Number

Enter a code that has been predefined on the Tax Code page if you are using the PeopleSoft Billing delivered tax solution and not a third-party tax vendor. The tax code you enter for the bill lines determines the tax rate to calculate for each line. Tax is applied to each line separately, rather than applied to a subtotal of the bill, which enables you to establish different tax rates for each bill line. If a bill line is tax-exempt, select Tax Exempt and enter the exempt certification number instead of a tax code.

Tax Timing

Indicates whether a PeopleSoft Contracts bill line is taxed. PeopleSoft Contracts bills can be taxed upon generation or upon service. When a bill is taxed upon service, the system taxes only the service bill; the system does not apply tax to the initial bill or any utilization bills.

This field appears on the Standard Billing - Line Info 1 page only when PeopleSoft Contracts populates this field with a value S (taxes on services rendered). The system does not calculate taxes or VAT for the bill line when this field has the value S. When the tax timing field is blank, the system applies normal tax or VAT calculations to the bill line.

Purchase Order and Contract No. (contract number)

If applicable, enter values in these fields and enter the corresponding line values.

Contract Date and Type

If applicable, enter the values that are associated with the bill line.

SubCustomer 1

If applicable, enter a value in this field the SubCustomer 2 field, and the Revenue Recognition Basis field. Enter new information or override the defaults for this information.

Use Effective Dated Price on Recurring Bills

Select if this is a recurring bill or a recurring bill template, and you want the price of this bill line to display the default prices, discounts, and surcharges effective as of the invoice date.

System Source

Displays the system where the bill originated.

Entry Event

Define the default entry event code for each bill line. Valid options include only those values that are identified with the Receivable Update process (ARUPDATE). This field appears for each bill line only if entry events are defined as Required or Optional in the Billing field on the Installation Options - Entry Event page. The code that you select overrides the values that you set at the business unit, bill type, and bill header levels.

AR Level (accounts receivable level)

Indicates the level at which PeopleSoft Billing passes open items to the receivables system.

AR Option (accounts receivable option)

Indicates the level of detail that passes to the PeopleSoft Receivables offset accounting entries. If it is Use Header for Distribution, the system creates receivables offset entry at the header level (one entry per invoice). If it is Use Line for Distribution, the system creates the receivables offset entry at the line level (one entry per bill line). This value is defined system-wide either by business unit or by bill type. When you enter a bill, the system derives this value from the table setup.

GL Level (general ledger level)

Displays the application that you use to pass accounting entries to the general ledger system: PeopleSoft Billing, PeopleSoft Receivables, or none. This value is defined system-wide either by business unit or by bill type. When you enter a bill, the system derives this value from the table setup.

Certificate

You must enter a certificate number on all lines that are marked as exempt. Predefine certificate numbers for every customer in the Customer component on the General Information - Tax Exempt Certificate Info page before entering invoices that use the certificate. Select from the valid certificates that are defined in PeopleSoft, or enter a valid, effective certificate that is not defined in PeopleSoft.

If you are using a third-party tax vendor, PeopleSoft Billing passes this number to the tax vendor, where the entire line amount is exempt from any tax calculations. The system uses this number in the tax vendor register and audit file for reporting.

Customer Group

Enter the Vertex customer group code.

Department

Identifies a department within an organization. Defaults from the Billing business unit.

Division

Identifies a division within an organization. Defaults from the Billing business unit.

Error Desc (error description)

If a tax calculation error occurs during third-party tax vendor calculations, the returned error codes and messages appear in this field. Refer to the third-party tax vendor documentation for an explanation of these errors.

For transactions that are processed by Taxware, the error codes are returned in this order:

• General completion code.

• State completion code.

• County completion code.

• City completion code.

• District completion code.

• Secondary state completion code.

• Secondary county completion code.

• Secondary city completion code.

For example, in an error description of 0095, 0099,0001,0001, the first error code is a general return code, the second is a state completion code, the third is a county completion code, and the fourth is a city completion code.

Exempt Reason

This field appears only when you use Taxware Sales and Use Tax as the third-party tax application. Enter Taxware reason codes to indicate why taxes are exempt for the bill line. You must add translate values into the field TAX_EXEMPT_RC to use them online.

Group With Line

Enter an arbitrary code to group bill lines for tax treatment. All lines that should be treated together must use the same group code. Group lines when the taxability of one line item is linked to the taxability of another line item. For example, the taxability of travel expenses in some jurisdictions is dependent upon the taxability of the service for which the travel expenses were incurred.

Include VAT (include value added tax)

A value of Y (yes) indicates that the VAT amount is subject to sales and use taxes. The system adds the VAT amount to the net-extended amount before calculating sales and use taxes.

Job Number

The system passes this value to Taxware Sales and Use Tax to determine tax exceptions only.

Ord Accept(order acceptance address)

The place of business where you accepted a purchaser's offer to buy or the place where you became contractually obligated to make the sale. This value defaults from the order acceptance location that is associated with the Billing business unit. Third-party tax vendors use this field to determine tax jurisdiction. If you have not provided an order acceptance address, the third-party tax vendor assumes the address is the same as the Ship From address.

Order Origin

The place of business where you receive a purchaser's offer to buy. The value appears automatically from the order origin location that is associated with the PeopleSoft Billing business unit. This field is used only by Taxware for jurisdiction determination. If you have not provided an order origin address, the third-party tax vendor uses the order acceptance address as the order origin address.

Perform Loc (service performed location)

Billing passes the address information of the ship-to-location as the service performed location.

Ship To

The system retrieves the ship-to address from:

• Address Override on the Standard Billing - Line - Tax Info page.

  This page contains a ship-to override address that takes precedence over the ship-to customer's address. To access this address, click Override and complete the appropriate address information. You must provide at least a valid state and postal code combination. The Override button appears only if you selected to use a third-party tax vendor on the Billing Definition - Business Unit 2 page.

• Ship-To Customer on the Standard Billing Line - Tax Info page.

  This page also contains the ship-to customer and ship-to location that make up the address. These fields initially display defaults from the Ship-To Customer field and the Ship-To Loc (location) field on the Standard Billing - Header - Order Info page, but you can override the default for each bill line. If you have not entered anything on the header page and do not enter a ship-to customer and location, the third-party tax vendor is not able to calculate taxes for this line.

Note. The ship-to customer and location values are required, even if you provide a ship-to address override.

Ship-To Loc (ship-to location)

The customer location to which the goods will be shipped, or where the service was performed.

Ship From

Enter the ship-from location for the bill line. If you do not provide a value, the third-party tax vendor uses the ship-to address as the ship-from address.

Store Loc (store location)

The system passes this value to Vertex as the store code, or to Taxware Sales and Use Tax as the business location code

Tax Customer

Enter the customer to pass to the third-party tax vendor for exemption processing. If you leave this field blank, the system sends the ship-to customer to the third-party tax vendor.

Tax Date

The tax date is the date on which tax should be calculated. When using Vertex, document and tax date will generally be the same. However, for an invoice whose lines have different ship dates, the system uses the ship date as the tax date. When you leave the tax date, it defaults from the document date.

Tax Detail

After you have calculated taxes, this scroll area displays the different applicable tax authorities, along with the percentage and amount of tax. For Vertex O Series and Taxware Enterprise, the system also displays the Tax Jurisdiction Name and Max Tax indicator. If Max Tax is applied, the indicator will have a value of Y. Otherwise, it will have a value of N. If using PeopleSoft tax calculations, the tax authorities are associated with the tax code that is entered on the bill line. If using third-party tax vendors, the tax authorities are:

• ST: Represents state tax.

• CTY: Represents city tax.

• CNY: Represents county tax.

• DST: Represents district tax.

• SCN: Secondary county tax.

• SCI: Secondary city tax.

• SDI: Secondary district tax.

• GST: Represents Canadian goods and services tax.

• PST: Represents Canadian provincial sales tax.

• OTH: Other.

Tax Exempt

Select when entering invoice lines that are exempt from taxes.

Tax Group

The system passes this value to Vertex as the product category, or to Taxware as the product code. You can set a default value from the charge code ID.

Trans Type (transaction type)

Select None, Lease, Purchase, Return, Rental, Sale, or Service. You can set a default value from the charge code ID. The system passes this value to the third-party tax vendor for tax calculation.

Sub Type

Select from the valid transaction subtypes. You can set a default value from the charge code ID. This value is passed to Vertex Q Series only.

Tax User Area

The system passes this value to Vertex Q Series for reference purposes only.

Title Pass (title passage)

Select the point of title passage. Select Seller, Buyer, or Destination. The system passes this value to Taxware Sales and Use Tax for jurisdiction determination.

Use Loc (use location)

The location where the goods are to be used. Billing passes the address information of the ship-to-location as the use location.

The Line VAT Alert warning appears adjacent to a bill line if you modify VAT drivers after you applied VAT defaults for the associated bill line. Review the VAT determinants and VAT defaults for the affected bill line to ensure that these values remain accurate.

Expand All Sections and Collapse All Sections

Click to expand or collapse all group boxes and display or hide all fields on this page.

Get VAT Defaults

Click to apply VAT defaults from the common VAT function. This button appears only if you have not previously applied VAT defaults for the associated bill line.

Note. If you enter VAT bill lines and save the bill without going to the bill line VAT page, this button does not appear.

Change Physical Nature

Click to change the physical nature associated with the bill line, and to reset all VAT defaults on the line.

Ship From Country

The system retrieves the default value from the ship-from business unit if available, or from the Billing business unit location when there is no ship-from business unit. Because a location code is required for all business units, this field always has an initial value.

In the case of transactions involving goods or freight service transactions, this is used to determine the VAT treatment.

Note. To save the bill in RDY status, this value must be the same as the ship-from country on the VAT bill header.

Ship From State

The system retrieves a default value from the Billing business unit location only when the ship-from country tracks VAT by province.

Ship To Country

The system retrieves a default value from the ship-to customer's address, or from the bill-to customer's ship-to address if the ship-to customer is not available. In the case of transactions involving goods or freight service transactions, this is used to determine the VAT treatment.

Note. The Ship To Country field value on this page will default from the country of any ship-to address you enter on the Standard Billing - Line - Order Info page.

Note. To save the bill in RDY status, this value must be the same as the ship-to country on the VAT bill header.

Ship To State

The system retrieves a default value from the ship-to customer location state only when the ship-to country tracks VAT by province.

Location Country

For services only. Displays the country of the business unit that is the source of the transaction. If the line is from PeopleSoft Order Management, the system uses the Order Management business unit location country. If the line is from PeopleSoft Inventory, the system uses the ship-from business unit location country. If the line is from PeopleSoft Contracts, the system uses the Contracts business unit location country. If the line is from PeopleSoft Asset Management, the system uses the Asset Management business unit location country. If none of these business units are available, or if the source of the transaction is not as listed above, then the system uses the Billing business unit location country.

Location State

For services only, displays the state of the business unit that is the source of the transaction. If the line is from PeopleSoft Order Management, the system uses the Order Management business unit location state. If the line is from PeopleSoft Inventory, the system uses the ship-from business unit location state. If the line is from PeopleSoft Contracts, the system uses the Contracts business unit location state. If the line is from PeopleSoft Asset Management, the system uses the Asset Management business unit location state. If none of these business units are available, or if the source of the transaction is not as listed above, then the system uses the Billing business unit location state. The system retrieves a default value for this field only when the location country tracks VAT by province.

Customer Location Country

For services only, displays the customer's (buyer) bill-to location country.

Customer Location State

For services only, displays the customer's (buyer) bill-to location state. The system retrieves a default value for this field only when the customer location country tracks VAT by province.

Service Performed Country

For services only. Depending on the services performed flag setting in the VAT defaulting hierarchy (for example, at the charge code or customer level), the system sets the value for this field as follows:

• If the services performed flag is the ship-from location, the system populates the service performed country with the ship-from business unit country. If there is no ship-from business unit, the system uses the billing business unit location country.

• If the services performed flag is the ship-to location, the system populates the service performed country with the ship-to customer location country.

• If the services performed flag is the buyer's location, the system populates the service performed country with the customer's bill-to location country.

• If the services performed flag is the supplier's location, the system populates the service performed country with the billing business unit location country.

Service Performed State

For services only. This field is defaulted only when the service performed country tracks VAT by province. Depending on the services performed flag setting in the VAT defaulting hierarchy (for example, at the charge code or customer level), the system sets the value for this field as follows:

• If the services performed flag is the ship-from location, the system populates the service performed state with the ship-from business unit state. If there is no ship-from business unit, the system uses the billing business unit location state.

• If the services performed flag is the ship-to location, the system populates the service performed state with the ship-to customer location state.

• If the services performed flag is the buyer's location, the system populates the service performed state with the customer's bill-to location state.

• If the services performed flag is the supplier's location, the system populates the service performed state with the billing business unit location state.

Service Type

If the physical nature on the line is defined as Service, this field appears. The system retrieves the value from the service VAT treatment default, according to the VAT defaulting hierarchy. This value determines whether the VAT treatment is defaulted based on the ship-to and ship-from countries, or the buyer's and seller's countries.

Place of Supply Driver

If the physical nature on the line is defined as Service, this field appears. It is retrieved from the service VAT treatment default according to the VAT defaulting hierarchy. It is used in determining the default place of supply, which determines where VAT is liable.

Reporting Country

Displays the country for which this VAT will be reported. This determines many of the VAT defaults.

Note. To save the bill in RDY status, this value must be the same as the reporting country on the VAT bill header.

Defaulting State

Displays the state that defaults based on the VAT reporting country on the VAT header.

Customer Registration Country

Displays the registration country of the bill-to customer.

Note. To save the bill in RDY status, this value must be the same as the customer registration country on the VAT bill header.

Place of Supply Country

Displays the country where the place of supply occurs. If the physical nature on the line is defined as Service, this field appears.

Treatment

The system determines this value using a VAT defaulting algorithm. Options are:

Deemed Service Export: Services that are provided in the supplier’s country to a foreign buyer, where the supply of these services must be zero-rated (that is, the place of supply is the country in which the supplier is located and registered for VAT, but the customer is located in another country).

Domestic Goods Sale: Sale of goods where the supplier and customer are located in the same country.

EU Distance Sale: Sale of goods between European Union (EU) countries in which the supplier is registered in an EU country and the purchaser is not registered in an EU country. The VAT rate charged is the rate applicable in the supplier's country.

EU Goods Sale: Sale of goods between European Union countries.

EU Sale (Simplification): Used for a transaction between an intermediary and the purchaser in cases when there is a sale of goods between European Union countries involving three parties: the purchaser, an intermediary (bill-from) supplier, and the actual goods supplier. Each party is located in a different EU country and registered in his own country, and not in either of the other two countries. The only difference between this VAT treatment and that applied to normal EU sales is that the supplier is required to print a different message on the invoice referencing the statute that applies to triangulation, rather than the one that references the statute for normal EU sales.

No VAT Processing: No VAT processing required.

Out of Scope EU Services: EU services out of the scope of VAT.

Outside of Scope: Outside the scope of VAT.

Zero-rated EU Service: Sale of services within the European Union subject to zero-rated VAT.

Zero-rated Goods Export: Export of goods subject to zero-rated VAT.

Zero-rated Services Export: Export of services subject to zero-rated VAT.

Within PeopleSoft detail VAT treatment values on the transaction lines are used for applying the precise defaults applicable to the transaction lines. The detail VAT treatment must belong to the VAT treatment group assigned on the bill header.

Applicability

Displays the VAT applicability. Options are:

Taxable

Exempt (not subject to VAT)

Outside of Scope of VAT

This value defaults from different levels in the VAT defaulting hierarchy.

VAT Code

Displays the VAT code that defines the rate at which VAT is calculated for this line. This value defaults from different levels in the VAT defaulting hierarchy.

Transaction Type

Displays the code that categorizes and classifies this transaction for VAT reporting and accounting. This value defaults from different levels in the VAT defaulting hierarchy.

Adjust Affected VAT Defaults

Click this button if you want the system to adjust the VAT Defaults on this page affected by changes you have made to this page. All changes you have made to VAT Defaults that affect other VAT Defaults will be retained.

If you change the value of any VAT drivers, click the List of Fields to be Adjusted button to review which VAT defaults that will be affected by the modification when you click the Adjust Affected VAT defaults button.

Levels

The system always sets this field to This Level Only.

Reset All VAT Defaults

Click this button if you want the system to reset all the VAT Defaults. All changes you have made to VAT Defaults will be lost.

Intrastat Transaction Flag

When selected, indicates that the bill line is applicable for Intrastat reporting. The system sets this value with the VAT defaulting process.

Nature of Transaction 1

Intrastat transactions are identified by the nature of transaction codes. All EU member states require the first digit for Intrastat reporting. In addition, several EU member states use a second digit to categorize transactions.

Designate the first digit of the default codes that are used for Intrastat transactions that the system automatically compiles on the Nature of Transaction Codes - 1st Digit page.

You can override any of the defaults by entering values.

Invoice Dt (invoice date)

The system automatically assigns an invoice date when you generate the invoice. However, you can manually enter an invoice date to override the system-generated date.

Remit To

Enter a code and corresponding account number to override the defaults.

Currency

Displays the currency that is assigned to the bill after you select a bill-to customer number in the Bill To Customer field. When you select a bill-to customer, the system populates the Currency field with the customer's default currency. You can select a different currency for the bill.

Media

Search

Click this button, and then select a value from the available options in the Invoices to Attach or Detach group box. Invoices that meet the specified criteria appear in the lower portion of the page.

Ref ID (reference ID) and Query

Set the orientation of the search page. Selecting a reference enables you to qualify which values for the reference to include. For instance, use the reference I (invoice) and enter a search value of OE% in the Query field to retrieve only invoices that begin with the letters OE. Selecting a reference and then performing a search also sets a default column name for the dynamic column in the scroll section of the results.

Use reference options for searching on either the bill header or bill line level. Regardless of the reference field that you select, enter the value to search by in the Query field. You can also leave the fields in search parameters blank or use wildcard characters. If you leave the fields blank, the system returns all bills.

The reference parameter options are:

• C: Contract number.

• I: Invoice.

• J: Project ID.

• K: Consolidated key.

• L: Bill of lading.

• N: Consolidated invoice.

• O: Order number.

• P: Purchase order.

• U: Customer.

Note. Unlike the other options, which refer to an alternate document, the consolidated key is a field to which you can assign a value to associate groups of bills that you might consolidate.

If you perform multiple searches and change the criteria several times, re-enter the criteria. This resets the search path and assures a complete search.
