--- title: "Supplier Invoices" canonical: "https://kb.myframeworks.com.au/space/PROSTIXV48DOC/31101473/Supplier%20Invoices" format: markdown --- Goal: This option allows you to view and add importing supplier invoices associated with a shipment. Steps: 1. From the ' Main Menu ' select options - ' Purchasing & Receipting ' - ' Import Purchasing ' - ' Shipment Maintenance '. Shipment Number :  key the shipment number, or to search, or for a new consignment then choose menu option - 'Supplier Invoices'. You can search for shipments by shipment number, bill of lading, booking number, mark number, shipping line, name of vessel, supplier and product. 2. Alternatively, you can access a shipment via one of the purchase orders associated with it. From the 'Main Menu' select options - 'Purchasing & Receipting' - 'Purchase Order Processing' - [select purchase order] - 'Importing' - 'Import Shipping Maintenance' - 'Supplier Invoices'. 3. When you first select this option, any existing supplier invoices for product and importing charges will be displayed. 4. Use Invoice Entry to access the 'Accounts Payable' - 'Transaction Processing' - 'Invoice Entry' batch processing function to input new supplier invoices. 5. Key the invoice details, including either the purchase order number or shipment number. You can then choose either a normal invoice or an Import Charges Invoice. 6. If you choose an Import Charges Invoice, you will be prompted to key the Charges code (or to Search) and the amount to allocate. If you selected a Purchase Order then the charge will be apportioned to the mark or marks that are on the Purchase Order - you will be presented with a mark selection list. If you selected a Shipment then the charge will be apportioned to the mark or marks that are on the Shipment - again you will be presented with a mark selection list, this time for the Shipment. When all charges have been keyed and the amount to allocate is zero, then you can use to close. 7. If the Forward Exchange Currency Contracts Feature is activated (FeatureFEC) then you will be prompted as to whether you wish to allocate FEC contracts to this invoice. If you answer 'yes' then you will be presented with the FEC allocation entry screen. Please see the topic  FEC Allocation  (which explains FEC allocation to purchase orders which is done in the same way as for supplier invoices) for more details. Allocated FEC Contracts must have the same currency as the invoice and the exchange rate is averaged across all the FECs allocated. The amount allocated is committed immediately. 8. You can then complete and post the batch as per normal A/P processing. When you come back into the shipment, then you will see the supplier invoice you have just processed added to the list. Review:   You can now: View and add supplier invoices associated with a shipment.
