Example. A user of the module: Orders receives a sales order for 2000 itm. of CD packages. The
verification of the stored article (intended for sale) reveals that there is only 1500 available itm. of
such packages. The missing 500 itm. need to be purchased. In order to do so, a user prepares a
purchase order out of the registered sales order. The purchase order is directed to a deliverer who
delivers the necessary article to the user.
As a result of preparing (generating) a purchase order out of a sales order, the article items and features are copied
to the document. Therefore, the above function reduces the time indented by user to prepare the purchase order.
It is also possible to generate the documents the other way around, that is a sales order can be prepared out of a
purchase order.
Example. An inquiry concerning a computer set and network installation is received. However, it
occurs, that one department of a company sales computer hardware and a different department
provides network installation. Both a sales offer for the computer hardware and an offer for
providing network installation will be created out of one inquiry.
A user want to present a few offers to a purchaser. Different offers for the same article is prepared out of
one request for proposal.

Example. An inquiry concerning a computer set is received. In order to present many variants of sale,
a few offers, concerning one article, is prepared.
1.1.4 Reservations
The system Comarch ERP XL allows to reserve an ordered article. There are two available types of reservations:
Resource reservation,
Quantity reservation (without assigned resources).
The reserved resources will be collected while generating trade/warehouse documents out of orders.
Resource reservation
Resource reservation consists in binding the reservations with the resources in warehouses and blocking the banned
resources at the same time. The resources are reserved automatically, or by indicating a resource by an operator.
One delivery and a warehouse can be assigned to one reservation. One element of order may generate many
reservations. Deliveries can be assigned to the reservations in order element and the assignment of deliveries can
be changed or deleted.
A reserved resource will not be available before reservation validity date expires for any other operations different
than the execution of reservation.
Resource reservation if performed first before quantity reservation, which is the reservation without the assigned
resources.
The compatibility of the features in a document, for which the reservations are generated, and the features in
resources, which will be reserved, is controlled at resource reservation. However, it is possible to clip a reservation
with a resource, which has a different feature than the article in a document.
Activation and processing dates can be set for a reservation. If the processing date is changed to undefined,
activation date changes to No limit.
Quantity reservation
Quantity reservations do not contain the assigned resources. The order of executing those reservations is indicated
by the priorities. If there is a reservation of higher priority in the system, a reservation of lower priority can be
executed, only if after performing this operation, the quantity of article in stock is enough to execute the reservation
of higher priority.
Note: Item history –The order document that creates a given reservation can be
previewed in the Reservations tab in Item history.
When adding an element to an unconfirmed SO, the system creates an appropriate reservation / multiple
reservations. This behaviour is controlled by a parameter in SO document definition -> tab Other: “Reservations in
unconfirmed orders”. When an element is being edited, the system modifies as required the reservations bound to
it: In the case of reducing quantity, the rules applicable to reducing quantity in an element of a confirmed SO are
utilised: i.e. the quantity in bound reservations is proportionally reduced. Moreover, reservations without resources
are processed first and reservations with resources – second. In both cases the following order is maintained: priority
(starting with the lowest priority), date of processing (starting with the latest date), validity date (starting with the
earliest one), and consecutive number (starting with the highest one).
If the quantity in an element is increased, system's behaviour depends on the “reserve resources” setting in
document definition and follows the rules below:
Module: Orders 8 Version 2016.2
if the parameter is unchecked, the system increases the non-resource reservation quantity, if any, or
creates it
if the parameter is checked, the system increases the quantity in resource reservation, if any resources are
available, and then activates the function for creating more resource reservations if necessary. When it runs
out of resources, it increases the quantity in non-resource reservation, if any, or adds a non-resource
reservation.
The above-mentioned rule applies to increasing quantity in both confirmed and unconfirmed SO.
The “Distribute received resources among reservations” parameter has been added to operator's file. It determines
whether the operator may assign resources to reservations when confirming incoming documents.
The operator can check the “Manual assignment” parameter for those incoming documents that have the “Assign
created resources to reservations” parameter checked. If the “Manual assignment” parameter is checked, a form
that can be used to change the “binding” of the resources created with a given document with individual reservations
suggested by the system is displayed when the document is confirmed. In the form shown below, the system shows,
in a tree form, individual items with the specified feature received to a given warehouse and a list of reservations
the received resource can be bound with below them. By default, the order of reservations and the bound quantity
from reservations follow the current rules for automatic binding of reservations with received resource: i.e.
reservations are ordered according to priority, processing date, validity date, and date of creation of the reservation.
If the operator closes a window without saving, the system calls the standard function for binding resources. If the
operator saves the form, the system performs the binding operation but binds resources to the reservations selected
by the operator (according to the settings in the window).
When the form is being saved, the system binds individual resources to reservations in quantities set for each
reservation in the “Quantity to assign” column.
If the “Manual assignment” parameter is unchecked or the operator has no right (the “Distribute received resources
among reservations” parameter in operator's file is unchecked) and the “Assign created resources to reservations”
parameter is checked in document definition, the system automatically binds resources to reservations without
displaying an additional window.
The operator can change the order of reservations by sorting them in individual columns. The operator may also edit
the suggested quantity to be bound manually using the edit-in-place method in a given column or by selecting one
of the resources distribution options: by priority (the current method of automated distribution), by order on the list
(e.g. the operator sorts reservations by one of the criteria, e.g. reservation creation date and then selects this option.
This way, the system assigns resources to individual reservations in quantities set in the reservations till the resource
is empty.) or “proportionally” (the system distributes the resource proportionally to the unbound quantity for each
reservation).
It is possible to check/uncheck records specific for individual “groups” of resources because operations consisting in
changing the method of distributing resources among reservations can be performed by individual resources and all
reservations bound to them. It is, however, impossible to check/uncheck only some of the reservations in a given
group. After a record is checked, all the reservations bound to it are also checked and when a record is unchecked,
all the reservations bound to it are also unchecked.
The above-mentioned window shows reservations that meet the following conditions:
Are sales reservations
Module: Orders 12 Version 2016.2
Are active
Block item
Their validity date is not expired
Item code in resource (group of resources) and reservation is the same
The warehouse in resource complies with the warehouse in reservation in the following way:
The warehouse in reservation complies with the warehouse of the “group” of the resource
The reservation warehouse is set as <all> and there is a warehouse from the resource “group” on the list of
warehouses the reservation “has a right to”.
The feature of reservation complies with the feature of the resource
The reservation is bound to a source document
The reservation source document has the “Reserve resources” parameter checked for document (orders,
jobs)
The reservations has no resources bound
The reservation was not completely processed
If there are reservations for a given item and feature and the warehouse to which a given reservation has a right (i.e.
this warehouse is on the list of warehouses available to the centre that owns the reservation), the reservation (for a
given item and with a given feature) is bound to this group of the item/feature for which there is a “resources group”
with the greatest non-zero “quantity that can be bound”
If the above-mentioned reservations do not exist or there is no “non-zero” resources group, the reservation is put
to a separate group: item/feature/warehouse<all> with the following condition:
When a reservation is “added” to the <item/feature/warehouse<all>> group, the owner of the reservation is verified
and “separate groups” are created for various owners of the reservations.
If there are reservations for a given item with any non-empty feature and the warehouse to which a given reservation
has a right (i.e. this warehouse is on the list of warehouses available to the centre that owns the reservation), the
reservations are bound to this group for which there is a “resources group” with the greatest non-zero “quantity
that can be bound”
If the above-mentioned reservations do not exist or there is no “non-zero” resources group, the reservation is put
to a separate group: item/“empty” feature/warehouse “all”.
The function of adding resources is also available for multiple selected orders simultaneously. After SO are selected
in the sales orders list, the Reserve resources option in the context menu can be used. The following window is then
displayed: Assign resources to reservations (Figure 1.3 Assign resources to reservations.
The function can be used for selected sales orders and internal orders.

1.3 Configuration
Before running the module, you need to define the parameters, by which the documents, registered in the system,
will be described. Those parameters are defined in the window: Document definition, which is located in the module:
Administrator. Each of the documents mentioned in the chapter: 1.3.1 has its definition, on the basis of which certain
entries are generated. Detailed description of the window: Document definitions, can be found in the manual of the
module: Administrator.
The documents can be additionally described by attributes. The attributes are defined in the module: Administrator
(window: Attributes definition, tab: Attributes class). The classes of attributes must next be assigned to the objects,
which are the orders mentioned in the chapter:1.3.1(window: Attributes definition, tab: Objects). Such defined
attributes may then be assigned to the particular documents.
Note: Bans for orders and quotes are taken into consideration when the documents are
converted.
Note: A trade document to which data from the collector is loaded with the “Load data”
button can be issued from PO/SO/IO documents. During this operation, the old list of
entries is removed and a new one is created. If the entries loaded from the collector are
the same as the entries in the order, they should process reservations. After data is
loaded, the order is given the Processed status when the trade document is confirmed.
Go to – after indicating an inquiry number and clicking on the button: [Search], the searched document will be
selected on the list of inquiries.
Filter – by giving a criterion in the filter, the requested items will be searched on the list of registered inquiries. The

If an Inquiry is deleted, its status is verified and only Unconfirmed Inquires can be deleted. If an Inquiry's status is
Confirmed or Rejected, the deletion is interrupted and a relevant message is shown. If an Inquiry's status is
Confirmed or Rejected, a Sales quote can be generated out of it. If multiple Inquiries are selected on a list of inquiries,
it is possible to batch confirm many documents. This option is available in the context menu. The menu can also be
used to batch open Inquiries whose statuses are Confirmed or Rejected. If documents are being batch opened, the
system checks whether a Sales or purchase quote were dreaded for these documents. An Inquiry may be edited
depending on whether it was converted into a quote and on operator's right to edit a confirmed quote.
It is possible to confirm an inquiry from the inquiry. This results in a change of its status into Confirmed. An inquiry
may be confirmed if there is a customer defined in the document and if the document's definition has the Confirming
parameter checked.

orders. After activation of the function, the List of documents to be clipped window is opened. It shows a list of SOR,
EOR, SORC, EORC / POR, PORC documents that were generated from the orders indicated by the operator and have
not been clipped so far. This way, the system creates a clip depending on the type of the clipped document and adds
documents that can be clipped to that clip.
Package from indicated. Allows to generate the package from the indicated order.
Note: Changes have been introduced in the cases of some document generation paths for
generating documents from orders whose element execution date is based on the source
element execution date due to the possibility to set execution date to Undefined. When
generating a PO or IO document from an SO with the execution date set to Undefined,
the same date is set in PO and IO documents. The same applies to generating a PO from
an IO. When generating an AJ document from SO or IO documents with elements'
execution dates set to Undefined, the execution date of the AJ document is set according
to the issue date of the document. In the case of a JO generated from an SO or IO, the
execution date is set to Plan starting now.

Confirmed and In Realization.
Correction. Can be used to issue a correction of an order.
Update VAT rates on selected. The function can be used to edit VAT rates in SQ/PQ/SO/PO documents using the
rates defined in item cards. After the activation of the function, prices/values are recalculated (for VAT recalculated
“from gross”, the gross price and value remain unchanged and net value/price are modified. For VAT recalculated
“from net” it is the other way round). Values in the header and payments are also recalculated accordingly. Before
the function is activated, the system verifies whether the following conditions are met: the document is unconfirmed
and the documents exponorm does not prohibit using “domestic” rated.
Entered documents. It opens the window: Documents entered from an order. In the window, on the suitable tabs
are displayed documents, that were entered from an actual order, e.g. advance sales invoices will be displayed in
the tab: Trading (as far as they were entered from the order). Function is active, if from the order were entered a
certain documents.
Note: The Orders with undeducted advance invoices report is available in a form of a
chart in the List of Sales and Purchase orders. The report shows a list of orders with
invoices that were not deducted: API, ASI, EAI.
From the orders list, it is possible to generate the ZP document. After the generate ZP option is selected, for ZW/ZS
elements the “Order generation” optimization window appears, which enables including items (all, unfulfilled,
unfulfilled without resources) with an additional control parameter:
“Include items of generated orders.”
Tab: Orders/Internal
This tab displays internal orders. It allows to add a new internal order, to change data in already registered order or
to delete a given order. Only unfulfilled order can be deleted. The unfulfilled order is the order to which a trade
document has not been drafted.
In the internal orders list, in the bottom part of the window, there are two drop down lists, Source and Target, used
to filter the orders on the list with the warehouse column which is subdivided into two columns:
Source – shows the code of the source warehouse
Target – shows the code of the target warehouse
The following documents can be generated from an internal order:
Warehouse Movement Release WMR-
Warehouse Release
Purchase Order
The types of displayed documents the elements come from depend on the selected value of the Documents filter.
The following values can be selected: Purchase orders, Sales orders, Internal orders, Sales quotes, Purchase quotes.
The information is displayed in the following columns:
Document – the number of the document the entry belongs to.
Item: Code, Name – code and name of the item selected in the entry.
Customer: Abbreviation, City – main customer's data.
Target customer: Abbreviation, City – data of the target customer is shown only if the Show target customer
parameter in the Configuration window, Parameters tab is checked. Target customer's data is of particular
importance when a different customer than the main customer is put on order documents.

1.7.1 Numbering
Documents numbering
Document number consists of 3 segments: consecutive number, year and series. The order of segments and their
format is defined in configuration as common for all modules. The scheme can be changed only until the first
document has been drafted.
The system gives a number to a newly created document, compatible with a numbering scheme, which is defined in
configuration. The following two segments can be edited: consecutive number and series. If a number has been
changed into a non-existing number, the changed number will not be saved. If a number has been changed into a
bigger than the number given by the system, there will be no gap in numbering, because the system first proposes
free numbers between documents drafted in the current day. Document series can also be changed by selecting it
only out of the series available for a given document. If a document has its definition, the available series are defined
in that definition, in a center of the rights structure, to which an operator is assigned. Documents without definition
can use series which are available for the center of the rights structure. If definition exists and a default series is
defined, the system gives to a newly created document, a series which is compatible with the default series in
document definition. Otherwise, the system will give a series, which is defined as default for the center of the rights
structure, to which the operator is assigned.
Note: In order documents, Item column, there is a locator that can be used to search for
an element in lists of elements in documents.
This option rounds up a price up to 2 decimal places while calculating a price or entering it manually. The price, with
non-zero decimal places or three decimal places, is highlighted against a yellow background.
Note: Rounding to two decimal places also depends on whether the discounts are
calculated on price or on value. If the discounts are calculated on values, by changing the
price list, the price, at a unit quantity, will be recalculated on the basis of the values and
therefore, it will be rounded despite deselecting the field: Price to two decimal places.
This option does not allow to enter any other values except the value which can be calculated as a product of
quantity and price.
Example: Transaction element contains quantity equal 10 pcs; price PLN 10; value – PLN 100. In this
situation: Control quantity*price=value is deselected. It is possible to edit the value and to set its
amount to PLN 100.01 (the price will not be recalculated). The option: Control quantity*price=value
is selected – it is not possible to enter such a value of the item that prevents recalculation of the price
(according the example, it is not possible to enter the value of the item set to PLN 100.01).

the document will be entered the form and payment term resulting from the of the partner, who is the payer (more
information is available in the documentation of the module: Sales). The updates of the form and payment terms,
that will cause the appropriate changes in the tab: Payments/Advances are performed by clicking the button: .
Expected date. A proposed date of executing a given transaction. The date can be fixed by:
Module: Orders 64 Version 2016.2
indicating a particular date or
defining a number of days since invoice drafting date.
When closing an order, the expected date is set to the latest execution date set in order elements. The execution
date can be changed to an earlier one. When the date in the header is changed, the following message is displayed:
Change the expected date in order elements to...? If YES, the execution date in elements is set according to the
above-mentioned date in the header. The system checks whether element validity date is not earlier than the
execution date. If NO, dates for order elements are not changed.
The option is selected in the tab: Header.
Execution dates can be changed in unconfirmed, confirmed and in-execution orders. In the first case, it is possible if
the operator is authorised to edit a given document. For confirmed orders or orders being executed, the operator
must be authorised to edit confirmed orders.
To buffer. This parameter is used to confirm documents. When the parameter is checked, the Confirm order
parameter is unchecked in the Confirmation tab. When the To buffer parameter is unchecked, the Order
confirmation parameter is checked.
The Expected date column is shown on the list of elements. The values are carried over from the element. Two
options are available: specific date or number of days since the order can be selected. The system converts the latter
into a specific date.
Net. This field indicates net value of transaction. Such information is displayed after defining the quantity and price
of article of a given transaction.
Gross. This field indicates gross value of transaction. This information is displayed after the price of article has been
fixed.
Note: Although prices of order entries can be expressed in various currencies, all
aggregated values in the Net, Gross, and Discount fields are displayed after conversion
into the default order currency. The exchange rate for conversion is set by the table of
foreign exchange rates as set in the Foreign exchange field, in the Header tab (see below).
If this parameter is set as: Current – the exchange rate is retrieved from a current day, if
it is set as: Fixed – the exchange rate is retrieved from the day the order was issued. If it
is set as: Fixed since validity date and then current – the fixed exchange rate is retrieved
and after order validity date expires, the current rate is retrieved. VAT in items is set to
zero for orders in a foreign currency. By changing a currency into the system currency,
the values from item cards are restored. The amount in the tab: General is displayed in a
currency which has been defined in the tab: Header.
Header discount. This group has two types of fields. They allow to select whether a global discount will be given in
a form of percent or amount. The algorithm of granting discount will be different, depending on a type of filled in
field: Percent and Amount.
Percent – this field allows to define a percent discount. The entered amount will be added to each item on
the offer's elements list. It will also be added to the already existed discounts for a given item on the list.
Amount – this field allows to define a discount expressed as amount. This is the way to define the amount
of discount which must be granted to the entire transaction. Unlike the percent discount (which is
immediately included in the values of particular items of offer), the discount expressed as amount changes
the price in order. The amount entered in the discount expressed as amount is prorated into all items of
order and it is recalculated into a percent discount of an item. This is a one-time operation – the next items,
added to an order, do not include that discount anymore.
Note: Because a global discount does not affect automatic price calculation while
entering new items of an order, further remarks concerning the global discount will refer
to the percent discount. If amount discount is set, it will be considered as zero percent
discount while calculating the suggested prices.
[Deduct amount of discount from document value] – by clicking on this button, the following field is
automatically filled in: Granted.
Note: If an order was converted out of a quote, the parameter: Execute entire order,
depends on a method by which it was selected in the offer. This parameter will have the
same value in both documents (regardless of the settings in document definition: Order
(sales/purchase), though it can be modified.
Quantities this function becomes active after confirming the order. The drop-down menu is displayed, that has
available the following options:
Ordered – default setting, on the order are presented the ordered quantities.
Non-executed – this option allows to preview the not executed quantities.
Not executed, without stocks – this setting indicates the quantities on the order, that has not been executed
and to which the stock reservation has not been created (this option is unavailable for the purchase order).
Reserved – for this option, the system displays all the elements that have resources assigned to reservations
and shows the aggregated quantity of reserved resources in the Quantity column.
Reserved in 100% – this option is different from the previous one in that when it is selected, the system
shows only these order elements with the quantity remaining to be sold is equal to the quantity reserved
in elements' reservations.
[Set VAT rates from item cards] – the button can be used to change VAT rates of the selected entries in the
document in accordance with the rates set in item cards. After the activation of the function, prices/values
are recalculated (for VAT recalculated “from gross”, the gross price and value remain unchanged and net
value/price are modified. For VAT recalculated “from net” it is the other way round). Values in the header
and payments are also recalculated accordingly. Before the function is activated, the system verifies whether
the following conditions are met: the document is unconfirmed and the documents exponorm does not
prohibit using “domestic” rated.
[Substitute] – this button can be used to select a substitute for an item. If a one-sided / equal to all / two-
sided substitute is defined in the Substitute tab in an item card, after the button is clicked, a window with a
list of substitutes defined for the item is displayed. The button is active if the document has any elements
and the selected element has at least one substitute.
[Up] – it allows to arrange the list of documents by transferring the elements located at the bottom of the list
to the top of the list.
[Down] – it allows to arrange the list of documents by transferring the elements located at the top of the list

displayed. There are the following columns in the form: Item Code, Name, No., Change, Quantity Before, UOM,
Expected Date Before, Quantity After, Expected Date After, Operator.
Note: Automated reservations – when generating a Sales Order with the ordered item
missing in the subsidiary warehouse, the user creates an Internal Order which is
converted into a Warehouse Movement document. After it is confirmed, a resource is
assigned to the Sales Order automatically.
In the order elements list's context menu, there is the Set date option which can be used to enter the item quantity
and the expected date for this quantity. This function is available in unconfirmed and confirmed documents except
for closed, cancelled or corrected documents. If the operator wants to perform this operation, they need to be
authorised to edit the document or to edit confirmed orders. After the option is activated, the element is divided
and the user can enter quantity and expected date. After saving, the system adds a new element to the list with the
quantity and date as defined by the operator. At the same time, the source element's quantity is reduced by the
entered quantity. The new element is added below the source element. During the division of the element to which
reservations are connected, the system reassigns reservations from the source element to the new element in the
relevant quantity. The system ignores reservations being executed. The remaining reservations are reassigned in the
following order: resource reservations, then non-resource reservations.
If a promotion bundle was selected in an order or quote and the operator changes the header data of the document,
i.e. customer, payment form, delivery method, warehouse, owner, date of issue, then:
The following message is displayed if the Data update after change parameter is checked in document
definition for the changed piece of data: “The document includes a promotion bundle. It is impossible to
modify the document. In order to modify the document, withdraw the promotion bundle.” and the change
is blocked.
The value promotion window is opened for SO (SQ) documents only when the document is being confirmed. When
saving, the system verifies whether the SO has the Order confirmation parameter checked or TO buffer parameter
unchecked (SQ). If the SO was confirmed and is edited and saved, the promotion window is not opened.
Note: For an SO document that meets the condition required for application of a discount
on the header value (WTR), at an attempt to confirm the document from the list of
documents, a message is displayed informing that there is an active WTR promotion and
the document has to be confirmed manually. If multiple SO documents are being
confirmed (also the ones meeting the WTR promotion criteria) in the list of documents,
an entry informing which documents were confirmed, which were not, and for what
reason is made in the log.
Note: There is a Show on map function next to street in the Address field, Customer tab,
Sales Order window. This function connects the Comarch ERP XL system to Google Maps.
Next to the [Show on map] button, there are two options: Show on map and Show
directions. If the Show on map function is used, a web browser is opened with the Google
page showing the location set in customer's address. If the Show directions function is
used, a web browser is opened with the Google page showing the route. The route to the
address begins at the address carried over from the stamp of the centre the operator is

Reserve resources – by selecting this field, or in an unconfirmed order if the „Reservations in unconfirmed orders”
parameter is checked in document definition, the resources will be reserved in a warehouse after confirming the
order (by FIFO order). The button will be active until the order is confirmed. This option reserves the resources
automatically, but after confirming the order, an operator may indicate a reserved resource manually in the element
of order, in the tab: Reservations.
Reservation priority - priority of reservation decides about the order by which the resources will be collected while
generating a trade/warehouse document out of a sales order in case of quantity reservation (without assigned
resources). For the current order, that priority will be retrieved
from a file of a partner for whom the order is drafted.
If the priority of reservation is not defined in partner’s file, the system will insert the priority with a default value
(according to the list of priorities in the window: Dictionaries of categories, module: Administrator).
Regardless of the above methods, by which the reservation priority value can be inserted, an operator may define
that priority directly on a current sales order.
[Update reservation priorities] – it standardize the priority of reservation for all items in order.
Note: The operator may change the priority of reservation, if the parameter: Change
reservation priority, is checked in their file (module: Administrator, window: Operator,

Advance invoices
Advance invoices are issued for selected order payments with the EAI/ASI or API located under the list of order
payments. After clicking the [Add invoice basing on advance payments] button, the user can choose between
the documents: EAI and ASI. A “domestic” EAI can be generated in a domestic SO for which a currency other than
the system currency was selected. If an advance document was generated for a given SO with a domestic customer,
the system makes sure that the document type is correct for generating consecutive advance documents so that
both ASI and EAI are not registered together for a given SO.
An EAI document may be generated for an SO with “Other foreign” or “Intra-community” transaction.
In an SO with a “domestic” transaction and SO header currency set to the system currency:
An ASI document can be generated if an uncancelled ASI invoice was generated to an SO.
An EAI document can be generated if an uncancelled EAI invoice was generated to an SO.
An EAI/ASI document can be generated if no advance document (neither ASI nor EAI) was issued to an SO
or they all were cancelled.
In an SO with a “domestic” transaction and SO header currency set to a currency other than the system currency:
Module: Orders 76 Version 2016.2
An ASI document can be generated if an uncancelled ASI invoice was generated to an SO.
An EAI document can be generated if an uncancelled EAI invoice was generated to an SO.
An EAI/ASI document can be generated if no advance document (neither ASI nor EAI) was issued to an SO
or they all were cancelled.

is at least one SO/PO advance payment and it was issued for a “domestic” transaction.
Optional forcing of the “direction” of the VAT (from gross) in the final document deducting advance invoices
After the Differential VAT in final inv. is selected in the Operator in the System Administration, it is possible to force
the “direction” of the VAT (from gross) in the final document deducting advance invoices.
This operation is supported by the Final document from gross parameter, which enables changing the direction of
the VAT. The parameter is included in the list of advance invoices created at the time of generation of the FS, WZ,
FSE, WZE, FZ, and PZ from ZZ/ZS documents, as well as during generation of the above documents from the
warehouse documents generated from the ZZ/ZS.
A change in the method of generation of the final document takes place only when originally (i.e. based on the
settings of the order / source orders) it is indicated that this would be a “from net” document and the User indicates
for downloading an advance invoice with the parameter selected in the list of advance invoices.
This operation makes it possible to avoid small differences that most often result from the fact that the value of the
specific transaction is calculated using the “from net” method, while the advance invoices are issued and then
deducted based on gross values and the “from gross” method (calculation of the value-added tax). Moreover, such
small differences may also take place in the case of the FEL/FSE documents in which the gross/net values are given
in foreign currencies.
A change in the method of generation of the final document takes place only when originally, i.e. based on the
settings of the order /s ource orders, it is indicated that this would be a “from net” document and the User indicates
for downloading an advance invoice with the parameter selected in the list of advance invoices.
Figure 1.35 List of advance invoices, parameter: Final document from gross.
In the VAT tab for documents FS/(S)FS/FZ/(S)FZ/FSE/(S)FSE, the Generate differential VAT parameter is served;
after this parameter is called up, the system generates an additional record of the VAT table for the specific rate/flag
according to the setting of the cursor in such a manner that the total net/VAT/gross values for the specific rate/flag
in the document are equal to 0.00. Such an operation will be performed only when there is an “advance” record for
the specific rate/flag and depends on whether in the Operator in the General tab the Diff. VAT in final inv. parameter
is selected.

Conditions for generating individual document types from an SO for a domestic transaction
To a “domestic” type SO, ESI and EOR documents can be generated, if no ASI (EAI is ok) was generated to this SO
An SO cannot be executed with an SI/SOR document if an EAI document was issued for this SO (ASI is ok)
If many SO documents are executed at the same time, the system verifies the following in addition to the standard
conditions of the compatibility of selected orders:
Compatibility of “types” of advance invoices issued to the selected SOs
If no advance invoices were issued to the above-mentioned SO or all the invoices are EAI documents or all
the advance documents are ASI documents, the above SO compatibility condition is met
If both ASI and EAI were issued to the selected SOs, the generation process is interrupted and the following
message is shown: “Advance invoices types incompatible”
by clicking on the button: , which is located on toolbar next to the button: and selecting the
option: Internal order, from the dropped down menu.
The tab (Figure 1.38 Internal order, tab: General.) presents the basic data for an order.

Source warehouse – the source warehouse can be a warehouse that is on the warehouses list in the INTERNAL
ORDER definition for the main center. After adding an item to the INTERNAL ORDER document, the field in which
the source warehouse is indicated will be edited. In case of any changes in this warehouse, after adding an item to
the document, the warehouse also will be changed for these items.
Target warehouse – this field is used to indicate the warehouse to which the ordered articles must be delivered. The
target warehouse May be w warehouse to which the operator has right in the INTERNAL ORDER context (this the
warehouse indicated in the definition of the INTERNAL ORDER document in the center of the operator). If on the
INTERNAL ORDER document definition is indicated the option: All items on the document from the default
warehouse, then the target warehouse from the IO document definition is indicated immediately and the field will
not be available for editing. In situation, when chosen was an option: All entries in a document from one warehouse,
the field is editable.
More information about warehouses on the INTERNAL ORDER document is available in the chapter:1.11.4 Internal

Example: A company has 2 warehouses: MAG A and MAG B, that are assigned to the IO document
definition in the following centres: MAG A in the centre A (Operator A) and MAG B in the centre B
(Operator B). Issuance and confirmation of the IO document is performed in the following way: (see
the table below). Assume, that Operator B is issuing an internal order and indicates the target
warehouse: Mag B. The source warehouse will be the Mag A warehouse. After issuing this order,
Operator B can only take out the order from the buffer (field: Confirmation will be inactive). After
taking the order out of the buffer, the order will have the status: Placed. The final confirmation will
be performed by the Operator A, for whom the field: Confirmation, was activated.
Operator A Operator B
Operator can initially issue and confirm Operator can initially issue and confirm
INTERNAL ORDER with the target warehouse A INTERNAL ORDER with the target
and source warehouse B warehouse B and source warehouse A
Operator can confirm INTERNAL ORDER Operator can confirm INTERNAL ORDER
secondarily with the source warehouse A secondarily with the source warehouse B
An unconfirmed order has all the time the status: Active (it will be displayed in green on the list of orders). It is not
possible to generate an inter-warehouse movement document out of unconfirmed order.
Confirm order. By selecting this field, the order will be confirmed and other fields, included in the tab, will become
active. If the date, on which the order was confirmed, is different than the validity date and the reservation activation
date (defined in the tab: Header), the system will ask whether the date of those items should be refreshed by the
current date.
The confirmation may have one of the following statuses:
positive – if the offer is accepted (the field: Accepted, is marked),
negative – if the offer is rejected (the field: Rejected, is marked).
Fiasco code. It indicates the reason of rejecting the order. Fiasco codes are defined in the window: Dictionaries of
categories (module: Administrator).

Inquiry number and Offer number. Those fields become active, if a given order has been preceded by submitting an
inquiry or an offer and their registered numbers are then displayed. It allows to keep the continuity of transaction
in its particular phases.
Differences between offer and order (annotations). This field allows to insert the notes which would describe the
relations between the contents of an offer and its possible modification in order.
Contents of inquiry. The field will display the contents of inquiry, if such inquiry is submitted before placing the
order.
Reserve resources – by selecting this field, or in an unconfirmed order if the „Reservations in unconfirmed orders”
parameter is checked in document definition, the resources will be reserved in a warehouse after confirming the
order (by FIFO order). The button will be active until the order is fulfilled. This option reserves the resources
automatically, but after confirming the order, an operator may indicate a reserved resource manually in the element
of order, in the tab: Reservations.
Reservation priority - priority of reservation decides about the order by which the resources will be collected while
generating inter-warehouse documents (release/acceptance) and an assembling job out of an internal order in case
of quantity reservation (without assigned resources). For the current order, that priority will be retrieved:
from a file of a partner for whom the order is drafted.
If the priority of reservation is not defined in partner’s file, the system will insert the priority with a default
value (according to the list of priorities in the window: Dictionaries of categories, module: Administrator).
Regardless of the above methods, by which the reservation priority value can be inserted, an operator may
define that priority directly in the current sales order.
[Update reservation priorities] – it standardize the priority of reservation for all items in order.
Note: The operator may change the priority of reservation, if the parameter: Change
reservation priority, is checked in their file (module: Administrator, window: Operator,
tab: Parameters/General, field: Change reservation priorities).
The “Reserve resources” and “Update reservation priority” buttons are available also in an unconfirmed SO and IO
regardless of whether the reservations exist or not. In the latter case, the system simply performs no action.
Note: The Attributes tab contains a locator allowing the user to select the attributes
which can be assigned to a given order.
Once the data is inserted in the window: Internal order, save it by clicking on the button: [Save changes].
Correction of the order is performed by the correction of the quantity or value of the article being the subject of the
order.
Confirmation of the sales order correction causes that the correction adopts the valid reservations (particularly the
resource reservations) of the source order. Their validity and realization dates will be changed, if they are earlier
than the dates of the new order (reservation validity will be prolonged). Reservations that are no longer valid will be
replaced with the new ones. Before confirmation of the source correction, the order will have the reservation, but
it will not be ready for realization (to issue a documents from it).
Correction for the order/orders can be created from:
The window: List of the orders
The window: Customer history
More information about how to create the corrections for the orders is available in the chapter: 1.19.19 Registering
correction to order and 1.19.20 Registering correction to few orders).
Note: By choosing the default series for the order which was defined in the Administrator
in the document definition during the correction of this order, the correction series for
the default series will be displayed.
The fields, filled in the element of offer, will be copied to the order element. The fields can be modified in order.
The window: Element of order, is displayed in two forms:
for sales/purchase orders
for internal orders.
Those variants have different layout and contents of some of the tabs. Below is the description of the differences of
the window for the mentioned types of orders.
The values for the items of sales orders and purchase orders are defined in the window: Element of order. The layout
of the tabs and their contents are similar for both types of orders and they will be described together.
The changes in the elements, depending on the type ,will be described in the following chapter.
In comparison with the window, in which an object of sales order and purchase order is defined, the window, in
which the elements of internal order are defined, contains the following differences:
the window: Element of internal order, does not have the tab: Calculation.
the tab: General, has no fields defining the amount of discount and the VAT rate.
Module: Orders 90 Version 2016.2
The mentioned differences result from the fact, that in the internal order, the payment for an ordered article is not
effected and the price for the article is not fixed. The only information, which will be displayed, is its value and the
last purchase price. The mentioned differences must be included while analyzing the description of the window:
Element of order.
The window: Element of order, will be described on the example of the element of sales order.
To the right of the Item code field, there is the icon which can be used to open a list of substitutes for the
selected item in two modes:
selection mode, if the document is in the buffer
preview mode, if the document is confirmed
The icon-button is active if the document has any elements and the selected element has at least one substitute
Note: After selecting an item and clicking the [Select item from the list]
button, an item list, indicating the selected item, is displayed. The item card can be
previewed after confirming the order and clicking the button.
Note: When the Prefer warehouses from item card / recipe parameter is checked in Sales
Quote / Purchase Quote and Sales Order / Purchase Order documents definitions in the
Warehouses tab and the default warehouse set in item card, Resources by documents
tab, item is retrieved from warehouse to an element from the default warehouse of a
given item.
Feature – name of feature class and its value. If a requested feature class in not registered in the system, it is possible
to add both a class of feature and its value. This feature will be included during acceptance/release of the articles
Note: Price value will be different depending on discount calculation method: On price
or on value. In the case of discounts counted on price, a book price is counted first (on
the basis of the initial price and effective discount) and next a book value is counted
(price multiplied by quantity). In the case of discounts calculated on values, a book value
is counted first (on the basis of the initial price, quantity and discount) and next a book
price is calculated (value divided by quantity). Discount calculation method is set in
configuration, in the tab: Sales/Parameters 1.
Value – this field indicates the value of article expressed as the product of article quantity and its fixed price.
VAT – this field allows to indicate VAT for article. By default, the rate, defined in article card – window: Article card,
tab: General, is entered. This field in not available in the window: Element of internal order.
If the purchase order was issued for the farmer who uses the flat rates of the VAT tax, then the transaction element
will use the rate (F) 5% applied in the turnover with this kind of the economic subject.
Last purchase price – it indicates the last purchase price for a given article, which is saved in the system. This field
in not available in the window: Element of internal order.
Offered price – it indicates the price, which was saved in the offer, out of which the order was generated. It displays
the value, only if the order was preceded by submitting an offer. This field in not available in the window: Element
of internal order.
Initial price - the initial price is the last purchase price for a given article the moment the article was added to the
order. The discount is calculated on that price, in proportion to the agreed price. The price depends on a type of
document:
– costs report – this function opens a costs report. The Production costs estimated for the default technology
for item being an order element window is opened after the function is activated. Additionally, there is a
function displaying the Job Order execution date basing on costs report. The date is calculated basing on the
default technology for the item, product in order and the item quantity.
The order element form shows information on: stock level in warehouse, the possible date the default deliverer may
deliver the item, the shortest possible delivery date from any deliverer and on the date the item may be produced
on
The option: Based on the associated order in SO element follows the rules:
- the system finds an element associated with the current SO element (basing on Order-Order links) which meets
the following criteria: document type indicated by the element is PO, IO or AJ; document status indicated by the
element and the direction of link do not matter.
- the found element is displayed in a table, where the following data is shown: Customer column: abbreviation of
the main customer in the document to which the element “belongs”, Date column: expected date. If there are
multiple elements, the system uses the first one
This way, the operator can define a realistic order execution date already at the stage of registering Sales Order.
This tab is used to calculate the price and value of transaction including discounts and other foreign currencies.
This tab on the element of the order (sales offer) differs from the same tab on the element of the purchase order
(purchase offer), and will be described for each of those element separately.
Sales order/offer
How the data is displayed in the tab: Calculation, of the sales order, depends on the settings in the definition of the
sales order document (module: Administrator). The margin is displayed on the sales order element and is calculated
from the last purchase price or basic price, indicated in the definition of the document (definition of the sales order
document, tab: Parameters, parameter: Minimum margin calculated according to price). If, in the definition of the
document the price different than the purchase price is indicated (it is possible to choose the prices defined on the
article card being the subject of the trans action), for the margin calculations will be taken the base price defined on
the article card.
Example: Customer K1 has the discount in its customer file set to 5%. Item T1 has the price: RETAIL
– PLN 1. In Sales Order definition, in the tab: Parameters, for the parameter: Minimum margin
calculated according to the price, the RETAIL option was selected. Then, a sales order was created
for the K1 customer. The margin is calculated according to the base price: Retail, indicated in the
item card, and not according to the price for which this item was purchased last time.
Note: If the operator does not have the authorisation: See purchase prices checked in the
operator card (window: Operator, tab: Parameters/General), then, if they mark the
option: Minimum margin calculated according to the price, in the definition of the sales
order document, fields: Last purchase price, Minimum margin and margin are not
displayed for this operator.
Initial – the field filled according to the above description – depending on settings in the document
definition. If the article located on the element, and partner located in the order are covered with the
promotion of the type: Price-list, the type of price will be displayed, which results from this promotion and
which will be constitute the basis for the discount calculations.
Without WMC – it is the initial price reduced by the WMC rate as in item card
Discount - field, that defines the discount for the given trans action (resulting for ex ample from the discount
saved on the partner card, etc.).
Example: Customer K1 has been granted a 5% discount and 10% promotion was set for item T2. In
the SO element for customer K1, in item T2 the value of 15% (5% + 10%) is displayed in the Discount
field.
Purchase order/offer
This tab is used for the calculation of the price and value of the transaction according to discounts and currencies
used in the transaction.
Initial – determines the final purchase price for the given article, saved in the system.
Without WMC – it is the initial price reduced by the WMC rate as in item card
Discount – the field, which determines the discount for the given trans action (resulting for ex ample from
the discount indicated on the partner card, etc.).
The discount can be determined:
In percentages, or
In values
After discount without WMC – the price of item unit after a discount not including WMC value.
Module: Orders 96 Version 2016.2
Agreed – the price agreed for the article in the given transaction.
Currency – offer and order elements are entered always on those documents in the currency indicated in
the header.
The tab is active, documents related to the order are showed there.
The tab displays the list of reservations of the assigned resources. Depending on whether the field: Reserve
resources, is selected or not in sales order, in the tab: Confirmation, there are two possible situations:
The field is selected – the resources will be automatically displayed in the tab: Reservations. The resources
can be released or modified by using the buttons located at the bottom of the tab.
The field is deselected – the quantity reservations (without assigned resources) will be displayed in the tab:
Reservations. It is possible to assign and to release the resources by using the buttons located at the bottom
of the tab.
The quantity reservations are executed by reservation priorities. The priority is indicated in sales order, in the tab:
Confirmation. More information about defining the priorities for an order can be found in the description of the tab:
Confirmation.
Reservations can have the unlimited validity date. This date is determined by default after checking in the document
definition, that creates the reservation, (e.g. in the sales order definition) option: No limit (for parameter:
Reservation validity period). It possible to define the validity date manually for the reservations, which have
indicated the validity date different than unlimited.
[View] – used to view the reservation selected on the list. The following can be done with an opened
reservation: assign a resource, change resource, preview and release.
[Release resources] – if a resource is assigned to a reservation, this button releases it. After it is clicked, the
reservation selected in the tab becomes a quantity reservation.
[Reserve resources] – if only quantity reservation is displayed in the tab, the button allows to assign a resource
to it. The resource will be assigned to the reservation by FIFO. In order to change a resource, click on the
button: [Change delivery].
[Change delivery] – this button open the window: Resources, which allows to select a delivery and to change
[Reassign resources from other reservations] – opens the Resources to be re-assigned window:
[Reassign resources] – this button is active if quantity in the Quantity to be reassigned field > 0
[Source document] – this button is active if the cursor hovers over a reservation other than manual reservation
[Edit reservation] – can be used to edit or preview the reservation form depending on operator's authorisation
to edit the reservation (as in Item history/Reservations)
The window shows a list of reservations for item / for warehouse / with a given feature that the operator logged in
to a given centre can “see” in other places in the system, e.g. in item history/Reservations.
The above rule is implemented by the following condition:
If the “Show documents: all” option is selected in operator's file, the system does not verify the centre that
owns the reservation.
If the “Show documents: own centre only” option is selected in operator's file, the system shows the
reservation only if for the centre the operator is logged in the “Edit centre's document” field has the centre
that owns the reservation or a higher-level centre.
By default, the system suggests the quantity equal to the “unexecuted” quantity of a given reservation to be released
for each consecutive reservation in the list, until the quantity required for the element is completed.
The operator can edit the suggested quantities, i.e. force the system to detach any quantity from any reservations.
Only the reservations that the operator is authorised to edit can be selected. The reservations for which the operator
can perform no operation are showed on the list to “inform” the operator whom should they ask to release resources
that are required for the current “transaction”.
The above-mentioned assumptions result in the list of reservations and available operations differ for various
operators.
The sum of quantities to be released from individual reservations is not controlled: the operator may set a sum
greater than necessary but when re-assigning, the system re-assigns the smaller quantity from among: “Quantity to
be re-assigned” below the list of reservations and total Quantity to be released entered by the operator.
After setting the type and quantity to be released in individual reservation as described above and activating the
operation, the system detaches resources from the selected reservations and assigns them automatically to
order/job reservations for which the re-assignment is done.
Re-assignment of resources is done only for those reservations in the list that have the “Quantity to be released” set
to non-zero value until the reservations are depleted or the set quantity to be re-assigned is complete.
The above-mentioned mechanism works in:
SO/IO element
AJ/DJ element
SCL/SJ/RJ element
JO: planned operation and Raw material edition
In the upper part of the form, information on the item for which the resources are to be assigned after detaching
them from other reservations is shown. The following data is shown:
item code and name,
Module: Orders 100 Version 2016.2
item feature,
warehouse and total quantity required to be assigned in this warehouse.
Grouping reservations by warehouse
Various reservations in various warehouses can be assigned to a given order/job. The operation of “detaching”
resources from “other” reservations is used to assign them to the reservations of the current element within a given
warehouse. That is why it has to be performed “separately” for each individual warehouse in reservations. The <all>
warehouse is also treated as a “separate” warehouse.
If as a result of such grouping, only one “group” of reservations is made, the “Resources to be reassigned” window
is displayed.
If multiple “groups” are created, i.e. groups for many warehouses, the following window prompting to select a
warehouse is displayed:
In the “Reservation warehouses” window, the codes of warehouses in reservations are shown (each warehouse
once) in alphabetical order, provided that:
If there are reservations for the <all> warehouse among the reservations, this option is shown as the last
one on the list.
The [Re-assign resources] button – in the planned manufacturing operation form is available if:
the operator is authorised to edit the JO, i.e.:
the “Enter and edit” parameter is checked in the definition of this type of document
for the centre the operator is logged in, the “Edit centre's document” field has the centre that owns
the reservation or a higher-level centre
the cursor hovers over a reservation meeting all the following conditions:
it is a sales reservation,
it is an active reservation,
the reservation blocks an item,
its validity date is not expired,
it is not assigned to a resource,
the quantity to be assigned is non-zero,
The Resources to be reassigned window is displayed after the “Re-assign resources” option is activated (Figure 1.51
Resources to be reassigned).
The data of the specific item/feature/warehouse/quantity to be assigned are set for a specific reservation the cursor
is hovering over. The conditions for re-assigning resources are described above.
This tab allows to use the data, inserted in the previous order, to prepare the current order. Those fields fill in the
data concerning all orders or transactions of article in the current order.
Note: If in document definition: Purchase order, the option: Preview the previous orders
is unchecked, this tab is not displayed in the window: Element of transaction.
[Previous] – by clicking on this button, the data, from the previous orders, will be displayed.
[Next] – by clicking on this button, the data from the next orders will be displayed.

This part displays the data concerning the orders with all partners, if the object of those orders is the same as the
object in the current order. The data is displayed, if any orders with the same object of transaction as the object of
the current order, have been executed. If the data is displayed, the following functions become active:
[Previous] – by clicking on this button, the data, from the previous orders, will be displayed.
[Next] – by clicking on this button, the data from the next orders, will be displayed.
This tab has the same function as the tab: Previous order. However, this tab displays the data about the movement
of article refers to all transactions, not only to the orders.
Note: If in document definition: Purchase order, the option: Preview the previous
transactions is unchecked, this tab is not displayed in the window: Element of transaction.
This tab is used to indicate the attributes for an element of order. The attributes are added according to the general
rules.
Note: The tab: Attributes contains a locator allowing the user to select the attributes
which can be assigned to an element of an order.
Once the data is inserted in the window: Sales/purchase order, save it by clicking on the button: [Save
changes].
In order to finish the process of adding an item to the order, click on the button: [Save changes]. The data,
contained in the window: Element of order, will then be transferred to the window: Sales/purchase/internal order.

such advance, it is possible to draft an advance invoice (more information can be found in chapter: 1.15 Advance
invoices).
Apart from the mentioned functions, the following fields are active:
Advance to invoice. By selecting this field, the added payment will become the advance. After entering the advance
invoice to such payment, to uncheck such parameter will be impossible.
Amount. This field is used to define the amount of broken payment. That amount will be subtracted from the
payment which will be broken. The amount can be defined by:
indicating the percent value – after selecting the field: From amount of order.
indicating the value in amount - after selecting the field: Value.
The changes, inserted in this window, are saved by clicking on the button: [Save changes]. A new payment

It is possible to determine the advances in the currency other than the system currency. More information about
those advances and advance invoices is available in the chapter: 1.15.2 Advances in the currencies other than the
system currency.
Note: The setting of the VAT parameter in an EAI document is transferred to the final EAI
document, without the option to change it.
With selected parameter, the document calculated according to national VAT rates will be created. It is import ant
to remember, that when creating the correction to the invoice (KEL), it possible the correction of the VAT rate. If the
document contains the articles with different rates, then after making correction of VAT rates for all articles, one
VAT rate will be calculated in value of the maximum (national) rate used for the article on the document (according
to the rates defined for the article on the article card).
Example: Items with 22% and 7% rates were put on a sales order with the transaction type: Intra-
community. In the order, the option: VAT C (0%) was selected. An advance invoice was created to
this order and then to this advance invoice – a correction (EAIC). In the correction, the VAT rate was
corrected resulting in the EAIC document using the 22% rate, as the highest rate for the item that
was entered to order.
More information about the correction of the Export advance invoice is available in the chapter: 1.15.5.3 Export
advance invoice correction (EAIC) for Intra-community or other foreign transaction..
Below are the following corrections which can be generated to the mentioned documents:
To advance sales invoice (ASI) – Advance sales invoice correction (ASIC)
To advance purchase invoice (API) – Advance purchase invoice correction (APIC) – also in the foreign
turnover (when choosing: Inter-community or Other foreign)
To export advance invoice (EAI) – Export advance invoice correction (EAIC)
The advance invoices are drafted to the part of payment resulting from the order (to advance). This advance is
defined in order, in the tab: Payments/Advances, in the panel: Payment plan. A paid amount, which results from the
advance invoice, will be included in the final trade document which will be the executed order.
Note: Advance sales invoice cannot be settled using a receipt and it is impossible to
execute the order for which the advance invoice was issued with a receipt, unless the
advance invoice was settled in full with another document.
Beginning from version 7.0 advance invoices have own document definitions.
Note: Issuing EAI and ASI documents is possible only for the types of customers that are
set in the definition of a given document.
Note: Since the version 7.1 of the Comarch ERP XL system, it has been possible to issue
an ASI for a sales order with the transaction type: Domestic and the currency of the
header other than the system currency.
after selecting a registered advance, click on the button: [Add invoice on the basis of advances]. A
window: Advance invoice, will be opened – if it refers to the national turnover, it will be ASI (Advance sales
invoice) or API (Advance purchase invoice); if it refers to the foreign turnover, it will be EAI (Export advance
invoice) or PAI (Purchase advance invoice).
It is possible to create the advance invoice for the not-executed order, and also for the order executed partially.
Detailed information about generating advance invoices can be found in chapter: 1.19.35 Drafting advance invoice
to order.
Issuing and generating the document is possible only for the types of customers who are set in the definition of a
given document.
Note: The value can be edited only if order elements have various VAT rates. If an order
uses only one rate, the previous functions are used.
The [Recalculate] button – after it is activated, the gross value for all VAT rates is recalculated proportionally
to the values of order elements.
If there are rates that were not edited by the operator, then:
each value for the unedited rates is set proportionally (VAT rate gross value / all rates gross values sum)
if for all VAT rates the value is set to 0, the proportions are set according to the values from the order
The value is proportionally (“change amount” x coefficient from the proportions) increased (when the operator
decreases the value for one VAT rate) or decreased (when the operator increases the value for one VAT rate) for
VAT rates.
Note: In order to eliminate rounding errors, the user should check if the Total value
equals the sum of payments. If not, “modify” the last VAT rate appropriately.
A 22%: 20.00
B 7% 30.00
C 0% 60.00
Total: 110.00
Now, the operator sets the value for the B 7% rate to 0, decreases by 30, so the system needs to
adequately increase the value of the A 22% and C 0% rates in the following way
A 22%: 27.50
B 7% 0.00
C 0% 82.50
Total: 110.00
Now, if the operator changes the value for the A22% rate, the system corrects only the C0% rate
appropriately (because the B7% rate was not edited).
The VAT table and value of the generated document is done following the rules:
For EAI documents:
The gross value of a VAT table record in the document currency is calculated for each VAT rate on the level of value
set in the “Specify advance invoice value” window (Figure 1.59 Specify advance payment value) for a given VAT rate
with the following reservation:
The records of the VAT table whose value is set in the form to 0 are ignored.
Basing on the remaining values of a record of the VAT table (VAT from gross, net, etc.)
Calculating the header value of a document basing on the generated VAT table
For ASI/API documents
The value for a given VAT rate set in the “Specify advance invoice value” (Figure 1.59 Specify advance payment value)
is converted into the system currency using the exchange rate from the SO/PO or a table with the following
reservation:
The records of the VAT table whose value is set in the form to 0 are ignored.
The value calculated this way is used as the gross value for this rate.
VAT and net value are calculated for this value. Travat table records are set basing on these values.
The net and gross value of the document in PLN is calculated.
Figure 1.60 Payments on the final invoice, including the advance invoices for 100 PLN.
This amount may be decreased – depending on the operator’s decision. In our ex ample this Mount was decreased
to 140 PLN (parameter: Accounted amount, tab: Payments).
Decreasing of the accounted invoice including the advances invoices cause, that the payment on the side of the final
invoice in value of 10 PLN appears.
Edition was also included in the tab: VAT.
Figure 1.63 Tab: VAT, on the final invoice, on which the accounting value was modified resulting from the advance
invoices.
Button: [Accounted all], makes possible to restore the maximum accounted amount resulting from the
advance invoices, what makes possible the eventual correction, when performed by the operator modification was
not necessary. In case, when the modified accounted amount will be left, it is possible to create the correction for
the advance invoice, which amount was decreased. To create such correction, select the tab: Payments, of the
advance invoice, which accounted amount was decreased and press the button: [Correction].
Figure 1.64 Payments of the final invoice including the accounted amount from the advance invoice.
Then the operator modifies the accounted amount from the advance invoice for 80 PLN. After such change, the sales
price was changed on the final invoice, what increases the document amount by 68,80 PLN. In spite, the accounted
amount from the advance invoice was not increased, and still is on the level of 80 PLN, which the same, that was
determined earlier by the operator.
There is possible a situation, when the amount of the transaction will be decreased. In such case, the system will
calculate the accounted amount resulting from the advance invoice, if its amount will be decreased so much, that
the decreasing of the accounted amount will be necessary.
The correction to the advance invoices are generated on the list of documents:
Advance purchase invoice correction (APIC) is generated on the list of purchase documents (List of trade
documents, tab: Purchase/PI)
Advance sales invoice correction (ASIC) is generated on the list of sales documents (List of trade documents,
tab: Sales/SI)
Export advance invoice correction (EAIC) is generated on the list of export documents (List of trade
documents, tab: Export/EI).
In addition, it is possible to create the correction for the advances invoices from the level:
Of the final document to the advance invoice (tab: Payments)
Of the order, for which the advance invoice was created (tab: Payments/Advances).
1.15.5.2 Advance purchase invoice correction (APIC)/Advance sales invoice correction (ASIC)
For ASIC and APIC documents, it is possible to make a partial value correction. That correction is made by editing the
amounts in the tab: VAT or the amount in the tab: General documents of the correction. The correction is performed
after inserting the appropriate value (possible to be corrected) in the field: Gross value of correction.
1.15.5.3 Export advance invoice correction (EAIC) for Intra-community or other foreign transaction.
[Payment] – it runs the process of payment for the advance. The button: [Menu of available options] drops
down a list of payment forms to be selected.
It is important to remember, that on each WZ, WZE, PZ document, accounting the advance document, also the one,
which not generates the payment (in the definition Has unchecked the parameter: Creates payments) presented is
the tab: Payments, that contains the section with the list of accounted advance invoices. On the clips, the accounting
of the advance invoices is visible also in the VAT table, in which presented are the values resulting from the
transaction value and the values resulting from the accounted advance invoices, and the value of the lips is calculated
as the difference.
The payment on the advance invoice may be expressed in the other currency than the system currency. This is the
case, when the advance, for which the invoice in the foreign currency was created (More information available in
the chapter: 1.15.2 Advances in the currencies other than the system currency).
URL – this field allows to give URL address. Once the address is given, the button: [Web site address] becomes
active. It runs the connection with the indicated web site.
Description - this field allows to give document description.
Note: Checking the parameter: VAT from - Gross/Net depends on setting that option in
Sales order document definition. The option can be checked in the tab: Parameters. That
setting is the default one, but after adding an element to an order, that option is greyed
out in the current document.
After generating the advance sales invoice, select the parameter: Fiscal, in the tab: VAT. Once the parameter is
selected on the first advance invoice, its setting will be transferred to the next advance invoices generated out of
order and to the final invoice, providing that it includes the advance invoices.
Once the advance/final invoice has been confirmed, a cash-desk receipt will be printed. In case of:
advance invoice – the items will be printed by the document's VAT table,
final invoice – the items of the table VAT, which are grouped by the rates, that is the amounts decreased
by the advance amounts, will be printed. Below the list of items, the following printouts will be made: a
printout of table of VAT calculated for total values, a printout of table for the values from the advance
invoices and a printout of table for the final invoice which is the result of the previous tables.
If the advance invoices have been printed on fiscal printer, VAT, in the final invoice, is calculated on gross. Otherwise,
VAT is calculated according to the setting in the order.
The advance/final invoice can also be printed on fiscal printer in the module: Sales, after selecting the option: Reprint
on fiscal printer, from the menu: Fiscal. This option has been anticipated, if for some reasons, it would be impossible
to print the advance/final invoice on fiscal printer.
In the Sales Quote and Order documents, it is possible to define the type of transaction “The taxpayer is the Buyer.”
This will be particularly helpful for those Users who trade items for which the reverse charge procedure was
introduced for sums higher than PLN 20,000 for economically uniform transactions. Such “economically uniform”
transactions can be registered using purchase orders, as a result of which successive documents generated from
purchase orders will be of appropriate transaction type and their VAT rates will be appropriate for this procedure.
Assignment of the aforementioned transaction in the OS/ZS takes place by selecting the “Customer is a taxpayer”
parameter in the {Heading} tab. As a default, this parameter is selected if OS/ZS is registered for the customer
identified as “Customer is a taxpayer.”
In the items marked as “reverse charge” and “reverse charge/limit” added to the OS/ZS documents with the
aforementioned transaction type, the System will define the rates appropriate for the reverse charge. It will also
change them at the time of change of the transaction type made by the Operator and by the System (made as a
result of change of the customer or an affirmative question regarding a change of transaction asked by the System).
If the transaction type is changed to “Customer is a taxpayer,” the rate appropriate for reverse charge will be defined
for the elements of the order of the reverse charge and R.c. limit type. If the transaction type is changed to
“domestic,” the rate appropriate for the R.c. limit will be defined for the elements of the reverse charge type and
the rate from the item sheet will be restored for the elements of the R.c. limit type. In the case of a change to a type
other than those mentioned above, all elements are subject to the same rules: the rate from the item sheet or the
“export” rate will be defined for them depending on whether the “Export VAT” is selected in the OS/ZS.
If a correction is made in the order document with an advance attached, the system checks if the transaction type
is correct: in the new ZS and in the FSL/FL attached to the corrected order, whereby for the “domestic” transaction
in the ZS it is assumed that the condition is fulfilled if the FLS/FEL is of the “domestic” type or “Customer is a
taxpayer” type. In the case of a ZS of the “Customer is a taxpayer” type, both the FSL/FEL of the “domestic” type and
of the “Customer is a taxpayer” type are rewritten.
If a document with the Customer is a taxpayer parameter selected and with items subject to reverse charges and
regular items, a window with a message appears.
.
If the document has the Customer is a taxpayer deselected and the transaction is domestic and the document
includes items that are subject to reverse charge and regular items, a message with a warning and a question about
a change of the transaction type appears. If the selected answer is Yes, the Customer is a taxpayer parameter is
selected. The answer does not cause the document to be saved without the changes. If the Cancel option is selected,
the document is not saved and no changes are made in the document.
If the document has the Customer is a taxpayer deselected, the transaction is domestic, and the document contains
items added that are subject to reverse charge, a message with a warning and a question about a change of the
transaction type appears. If the selected answer is Yes, Customer is a taxpayer parameter is selected. The answer
does not cause the document to be saved without the changes. If the Cancel option is selected, the document is not
saved and no changes are made in the document.
From ZS documents with the “Customer is a taxpayer ” type, the following documents can be generated:
1. From a ZS document for which a FEL document has been created, WM, ZWM, PA, FSE, and WZE documents
can be generated;
2. From a ZS document for which a FSL document has been created, FS, WZ, WM, ZWM, and PA documents
can be generated;
From a ZS document for which advance documents have not been created, FS, WZ, RW, WM, ZWM, PA, FSE, WZE,
and FW documents can be generated.
