Distributing Transaction Lines in Sales Orders

When distributing transaction lines in a sales order, you have the option to use a distribution template for easier distribution calculation.

Only users assigned with Custom CFO and Custom A/R Clerk roles can distribute lines and apply distribution templates to sales orders.

Important:

You must first ensure that Sales Order is enabled in the transaction distribution preferences. For more information, see Setting Up Transaction Distribution Preferences.

To distribute transaction lines in a sales order:

  1. Go to Transactions > Sales > Enter Sales Orders.

  2. Enter the required values in the Primary Information and Sales Information sections when entering a sales order. For more information, see Creating Sales Orders.

  3. In the Classification section, from the Default Distribution Template list, select a distribution template to be applied to the sales order.

    The following fields will be populated based on the distribution template selected:

    • Distribution Type

    • Rate Type

  4. (Optional) To disable the line level distribution template or quick rule and have all transaction lines based on the default distribution template, check the Disable Line Distribution Rule box.

  5. On the Items subtab:

    1. From the Item list, select an item.

    2. In the Quantity field, enter the quantity of the item.

    3. In the Amount field, enter an amount.
