Sales - Progress Claim

Menu Selection: Document - Sales - Progress Claim

Purpose

This document allows the user to create a Progress Claim against a Job prior to a Tax Invoice.

Prerequisites

Job Number

The Job should already be open, however a new job will open and job number will increment automatically if the Job Number field is blank.

The customer associated with the job must exist in the database via the Debtor - Account document.

The site address associated with the job must exist in the database via the Name and Addresses - Name and Address document.

Context

LILAC uses an eight digit reference number when posting to Debtor account. It is essential that these reference numbers are unique for each customer. A typical Progress Claim Tax Invoice reference number would be 12345/01. 

If the reference number generated is more than 8 characters in length, then duplicate reference numbers can be created in the debtors account. If there are duplicate reference numbers the Debtors - Receipt document will fail to work correctly. To correct duplicate reference numbers go to the Document - Utility - Elim Dups - Debtors document.
