Scroll Invoices

The Scroll Invoices command is only available from the Tools menu in the Invoicing application.

When you select the Scroll Invoices command from within the Invoicing application, the Find Invoices window allows you to look up invoices for orders, as well as miscellaneous invoices that are not associated with orders.

Select the Tools > Scroll Invoices command to look up invoices. The system displays the Find Invoices window. The window contains two tabs, Company and Reference. You can make entries in the fields on these tabs to set restrictions that will limit the retrieval list. The bottom left of the results list shows you how many rows were retrieved.

Exact Match?

Select this check box to specify that you want the system to return an exact match of the reference number you are searching for. If unchecked, reference number search will attempt pattern matching to find similar numbers.

Match Count

This field allows you to limit the number of matches returned when you do not use the Exact Match check box. By default, the match count is set at 100. To prevent search overload, results are limited to a reasonable number.

Branch

Your setup determines the definition of this field. If your company:

  • Is asset based only, it represents cost centers, i.e., booking terminals.

  • Is licensed for Enhanced Brokerage and/or CRMRight, it represents booking terminals or customer service representatives.

You use the Branch File Maintenance window in the File Maintenance application to set up profiles for booking terminals and customer service representatives.

The Branch restriction field limits the list of invoices by the booking terminal or customer service representative recorded in the order header.

Notes:

  1. For details on setting up cost centers for asset-based carriers, see "Setting up branches as cost centers" in the File Maintenance online help.

  2. For details on setting up booking terminals and customer service reps for users of Enhanced Brokerage, see Setting up the system to use booking and executing entities in the Status Based Loads Grid documentation.
