TheOrder ERP — General Bills: Invoice Without a Shipment (Manual Customer Split, Two-Stage Posting)

General Bills is the contractor invoice with no shipment attached: office rent, software, legal fees — or freight that spans several shipments. Where Shipping Bills let the cartons decide the split, this page hands the pen to you. • ONE ROW PER CONTRACTOR: the master grid groups bills by contractor — counts, draft/posted lines, raw per currency, rate, local, branches — with footer totals; cards view rearranges the same data • TWO KINDS, LOCKED AT CREATE: Overhead draws from the office catalog (facilities, technology, professional services…); Logistics draws from the shipping catalog (freight, customs, port, surcharges) for cross-shipment invoices — and lands in the 513 logistics account group, not 514 • THE DEBIT ACCOUNT IS THE EXPENSE: pick the expense, the account resolves itself — shown per line with its ledger link; branch is per-LINE, so one bill can span branches • LIFECYCLE ON CAMERA: a posted bill takes a new line and becomes MIXED (two currencies in the footer) — posting touches only the draft line; the T-account preview shows DR expense / CR contractor in the line's own currency leaf (818.12 both sides) • CUSTOMER-RELATED BILLS: the manual distribution editor — add customers (branch-scoped list), type amounts, the new row pre-fills the residue, percentages are computed, and the Sum must equal the line to the cent (2,000.00 / 2,000.00) • TWO-STAGE POSTING: per slice — DR expense / CR contractor, then DR customer / CR expense — four transactions for a 60/40 split, and the expense account nets to exactly zero; the purple distribution table turns green with real transaction numbers • THE RULES: posted bills freeze (no backdating), admins correct through reverse+repost previews, delete reverses real money — explained, not clicked • REPORT CENTER: the Contractor Summary — query builder, live A4 preview, print or Excel ⏱ Chapters 0:07 Welcome — the invoice without a shipment 0:36 Master grid: grouped by contractor (10 columns) 1:15 Chips, dashboard, cards view 1:57 The toolbar — every picker opened 2:25 The contractor detail panel 2:57 Add Bill — two decisions, locked forever 3:38 A posted bill's anatomy (TX# 4312) 4:12 The line form — debit account by expense 4:57 Mixed: posted + draft in one bill 5:24 Single-stage post — the T-account 6:05 Customer-related bills — the strict rule 6:34 The distribution editor wakes up 7:02 Manual split: 1,200 / 800, sum = line 7:41 Two-stage preview — 4 transactions 8:17 Posted: TX# 4324 / 4326 at 60/40 8:52 Logistics kind — the shipping catalog 9:32 Posted is history: frozen, admin-only fixes 10:04 Report Center — print & Excel 10:26 Recap — you decide the split ——— TheOrder ERP — ERP for import-export buying agents. #TheOrder #ERP #GeneralBills #Overhead #AccountsPayable #CustomerDistribution #ManualSplit #TwoStagePosting #JournalEntries #Logistics #Finance #Tutorial https://theorder-erp.com/
