Overview

Use General Ledger Distribution to distribute the invoice amount to the appropriate general ledger accounts.

If the Fixed Assets module is integrated with Accounts Payable and you have the appropriate security set up, assets can be created in Sage Fixed Assets based on the invoice lines entered in Manual Check and Payment Entry and the asset template selected in this window.

Assets are not created for lines with negative amounts and non-invoice lines such as prepayments, adjustments, returns, credit memos, and transfers. If an asset account is used for an adjustment, or if an asset is created for an invoice that is later adjusted, the asset values must be adjusted manually in Sage Fixed Assets.

NoteSage Fixed Assets refers to the fixed assets product used with Sage 100.
