AR131


AR131 - Automatic Memo Application

Run AR131 (Automatic Memo Application) to automatically apply the following
kinds of credit memos:

1.    Those that cross reference open items (invoices or debit memos).

2.    Those that do not cross reference open items for selected customers.

Selected customers are those that have the Auto Cash flag set to Yes and the
Apply Method field set to A (Algorithm), B (Balance Forward), or L (Last
Statement) in the Application form tab of AR10.1 (Customer).

AR131 allows you to automatically apply credit memos to national account
relationships.

If you entered Yes in the Auto Credit Apply field in AR01.1, AR131 allows you
to automatically apply a credit memo for an account customer or an invoiced
customer that references an invoice or debit memo of any customer in the
national account relationship.

Before you run AR131, you must set up companies and add credit memos. In
AR01.1 (Company), you must enable companies to use AR131 by selecting Yes in
the Auto Credit Apply field. In addition, you must add credit memos using
AR42.2 (Transaction Entry). In AR42.2, for each credit memo to be processed by
AR131, select one of the companies you defined with Yes in the Auto Credit
Apply field in AR01.1. Add cross references to a transaction to a credit memo
by accessing the Expanded subform from AR42.2 (Transaction Entry) or by
interfacing credit memos in AR560 (Transaction Interface).

AR131 does not compare the credit memo amount to the cross referenced invoice
or debit memo amount. Because of this, partial applications may occur.
Discounts and automatic adjustment tolerances are not applicable, and no
adjustment records are created.

AR131 creates a report of the automatic memo application by customer and by
transaction number within each customer and includes report totals. An
asterisk (*) prints in the "TC" (transaction currency) column for applications
made to open items that have a currency different from the company base
currency.
