You can enter job invoices to bill customers in the Job Invoice Entry window. You must purchase the Microsoft Dynamics GP Receivables Management module to use the invoicing feature.

You must enter job invoices through Job Cost to update billed information for jobs. Do not enter job invoices through the Receivables Transaction Entry window.

In the Job Invoice Entry window, you can:

Enter credit memos.
Enter a Bill To customer that is different from the Job customer. When you update the Bill To customer, the Bill To address that is designated in Customer Maintenance defaults to the Bill To address field. You can change this address if needed.
Enter job invoices using the optional Signature Multicurrency Management feature. You can designate an originating currency for standard job invoices and credit memos through the Job Invoice Entry window. Amounts display in the functional currency and print in the originating currency. The functional currency is the primary currency in which a company maintains its financial records. Typically, the functional currency is the currency of the country where the company is located. The originating currency is the currency that a multicurrency transaction was conducted in. To use Signature Multicurrency Management, you must have purchased Microsoft Dynamics GP Multicurrency Management. Refer to the Microsoft Dynamics GP Multicurrency Management Manual for setup procedures. Multicurrency is not functional with the Job Cost Project Level feature.
Assign a sales GL account to each bill code when creating job invoices. In addition, you can include fully billed bill codes on an invoice. You can assign accounts at the job level and override them at job invoice entry. For information on setting this up, see Assigning Sales GL Accounts to Bill Codes for Job Invoices.

You can save only one unposted document to a Cost Plus transaction level job.

Entering a Job Invoice

Select Transactions > Job Cost > Job Invoice Entry.
Complete the following fields, as necessary.
- Document Type
  Select a document type from the drop-down.
- Document Number
  Tab to this field to display the default number.
- Job Number, Job Name
  Enter a Job Number. The Job Name defaults from the Job Number.
- Bill To Customer, Bill To Customer Name
  These fields default from the selected job. You can accept the default or you can select a different customer.
  
  If you select a different customer, the Bill To address that prints on the invoice is the Bill To address set up in Customer Maintenance.
- Job Customer ID, Job Customer Name
  These fields default from the job number selection. The job name, customer ID, customer name, tax schedule ID, and retention percent default from this selection.
- Date
  The date will determine the exchange rate in multicurrency transactions.
  
  This date is editable if the Posting Date From is set to Transaction in Microsoft Dynamics GP Posting Date Setup.
- Batch ID
  Enter a single-use Batch ID. You cannot use a recurring batch.
- Tax Schedule ID, Retention Percent
  These fields default from the job number selection.
  
  The Tax Schedule ID is dependent on the Job Customer. If you update the Bill To customer the Tax Schedule ID does not change.
- PO Number
  This number is printed as the customer order number on the invoice.
- Currency ID
  Enter the Currency ID, which comes from the Bill To Customer ID.
  - If you are using the Signature Multicurrency Management feature, you can change the currency ID. Amounts will print in the originating currency and display in the functional currency.
  - If you are not using Multicurrency Management, the Currency ID field will be disabled.
  - Multicurrency Management is used with Standard billing type jobs and cannot be used with customers with balance forward accounts.
- Scrolling window
  Enter the invoice text in the scrolling window.
- Billing Amount
  This field is determined by the job's billing type.
- Retention Withheld, Retention Due, Subtotal
  The Retention Withheld for this invoice calculates automatically based on the retention percentage specified for this job in the Job Maintenance window. You can change this amount. When retention-withheld amounts post with an invoice, the retention receivable accounts and progress billings accounts specified in the Invoice Accounts Setup window will debit and credit, respectively. To invoice previously withheld retention, see Generating Invoices for Retention. The Subtotal field is calculated automatically and is equal to the billing amount minus the retention amount withheld.
- Calculate Sales Tax on Billing Amount
  If you are using Retentions, you can mark this checkbox to calculate the sales tax on the Billing Amount. If unmarked, the sales tax is based on the subtotal amount (Billing Amount - Retention Amount). This checkbox is set up for the job in the Job Maintenance window (see Creating a Job Record for more information), however you can override that for this invoice. Taxes are recalculated when the checkbox is marked/unmarked.
- Miscellaneous
  Enter Miscellaneous amounts that should be billed to the customer, but are not part of the original contract. For example, you can bill the customer for freight charges that are not part of the original job contract. Amounts entered here are not added to the gross or net billed amount for the job. When miscellaneous amounts post, miscellaneous posting accounts entered in the Posting Accounts Setup window for the Sales series are updated. If you plan to post miscellaneous invoice amounts, make sure all posting accounts for the Sales series are set up or you may not be able to post Job Cost invoice batches.
- Tax
  Enter taxes, which calculate automatically based on the tax schedule assigned to the job and customer ID. Tax amounts are not added to the gross or net billed amount for the job.
- Total
  The Total is calculated automatically and contains the subtotal amount plus the miscellaneous and tax amounts.
Select Schedule to enter billing amount information. The window that opens depends on the job billing type.
- If the job billing type is Standard, the Standard Invoice or Credit window opens. See Entering Standard Billing Information.
- If the job billing type is User-Defined or Cost Code, the Schedule Invoice window opens. See Entering Scheduled Billing Information.
- If the job billing type is Transaction-Level, the Apply Transactions window opens. See Entering Transaction-Level Billing Information.
Select Print and select the type of invoice to print. Certain invoices have billing type requirements. A description of each type of Dexterity invoice follows. If you are using SRS reports, refer to Job Cost Reports in SSRS Reports for more information about the SQL Job Invoice.
- Text and graphic invoices
  The text invoice lists bill to customer information, job customer information, invoice number, customer order number, customer number, net terms, billing amount, retention and tax amounts, and total due. The graphic invoice lists the same information in a graphical format. Text invoice 2 and graphics invoice 2 can be customized. The invoices print in originating currency.
- Cost elements invoice
  The cost elements invoice is the same as the text invoice, except the billing amounts are itemized by cost element.
- Detail billing invoice
  The detail billing invoice requires a Cost Code billing type job. It is the same as the text invoice, except the billing amounts are itemized by bill code.
- Tax detail invoice
  The tax detail invoice is the same as the text invoice, except the taxable amounts are itemized at a tax detail code level. The invoice prints in originating currency.
- A.I.A Doc G702
  This menu item prints page 1 (AIA G702) and page 2 (AIA G703) of the AIA Application and Certificate for Payment document. For information on setting up this invoice, see Setting up and using document management.
- Application for payment invoice
  The Application for Payment invoice is the AIA G703 document. The invoice shows the job and application date and lists the item number, description, schedule value, percent paid, balance due, and retainage for each item. It also lists the amounts for previous applications for payment, material completed this period, stored materials, and materials completed and stored for each item.
  
  If you use AIA billing, the application number must be assigned before printing to a batch. Select the Application for Payment printing option.
- Transaction-level invoice
  The transaction-level billing invoice requires a Transaction-Level billing type job. It is the same as the text invoice, except that billing amounts are itemized by transaction and labor is summarized by cost code. Unit charges are calculated from the posted transaction and are included in the invoice.
- Transaction-level labor invoice
  The transaction-level labor invoice requires a Transaction-Level billing type job. It is the same as the transaction-level invoice, except that billing amounts are itemized by transaction, including labor detail.
Batch post the invoice by choosing Transactions > Sales > Series Post.

All Job Cost invoices must be batch posted. They should never be edited or posted from the Receivables Transaction Entry window.
Choosing the Commissions button opens the Commissions Entry window. This window contains default sales commissions from Microsoft Dynamics GP and cannot be changed in Job Cost. The salesperson comes from the Bill To customer.
