FA - Invoice Grouping Definition

The user can adapt the appearance of the invoice with these settings to his needs. The invoice grouping definitions are defined per FA invoice client. With the selection of the FA invoice client the corresponding entries are displayed in the list. The items of the invoice are the result of a grouping of InvoiceDetailPos by items. The items of the detailed invoice are the InvoiceDetailPos.

The user can now group the items of the invoice or detailed invoice according to his wishes. The invoice/detailed invoice can be grouped on two levels. The second grouping is always a grouping within the first. No grouping can be selected for the InvoicePos and the Invoice. The following figure shows how an invoice is structured in the DB.

Attention: The settings cannot be changed until all invoices of the FA invoice client have been closed.

With the buttons "Add" and "Edit" and the groupings can be edited. The groupings listed here are already contained in the database. Further ones cannot be added.

The following groupings are available for selection: None, Cost Center, Material Group, Cost Object, Invoice Group, Service, Order ID and Order Day (The last two groupings only apply to the detailed invoice).

This text is used as grouping description in the invoice/detailed invoice. For the cost center placeholders can be used, which take over the corresponding values from the DB.

The placeholders are: <%No%> <%Name1%> <%Name2%> <%Name3%> <%Street%> <%PLZ%> <%Town>

100 means that the currency is rounded to 1/100. Internally, the calculation is made with four decimal places. If rounded, rounding errors occur, which can be displayed. Attention: It is also possible to make nonsensical settings. For example, you should not round to 1/100 in the positions and then round to 1/10 in the groupings to 1/10, because this can result in incorrect totals being calculated.

With this setting you can define whether the calculation should be continued with the rounded values. This setting cannot be made for InvoiceDetailPos and InvoicePos, because here the calculation is always done with the unrounded values. Attention: If the calculation is continued with rounded values, rounding differences can be lost.

Special feature for eInvoices

In eInvoice, certain values may have a maximum of 2 decimal places. For this reason, for customers with eInvoices, the rounding quotient is fixed at 100 and Total rounded values is selected. This is to prevent the eInvoice from not being accepted due to rounding errors.

If the definitions for eInvoice change, the setting of the 2 decimal places for eInvoice can be changed in the Custfiled with TableID 1014 (Invoicing); 70: Number of decimal places for eInvoices (leInvoiceDecimal places).
