Invoice lines

An invoice line is an individual distribution on an invoice. Each line item is individually listed and described on an invoice. The sum of the invoice lines should be equal to the invoice total, unless your administrator has configured Oracle to automatically calculate tax.

You can either:

• Enter lines manually.

• Use a Distribution Set to automatically pro-rate the invoice total over the distribution list (for new invoices only).

A Distribution Set is a group of invoice lines and associated percentages. For example, a Distribution Set for Shipping might include:

• 50% for trucking

• 25% for warehousing

• 25% for handling

Assigning this Distribution Set to an invoice automatically creates an invoice with the correct lines and costs.
