In Sage 300 ERP, the Accounts Receivable (AR) Invoice Report plays a vital role in managing customer billing and ensuring financial transparency. To make the AR Invoice report more informative and aligned with business requirements, we have developed a new AR Invoice format in Crystal Report that includes the handling of advance payments and the calculation of the actual payable amount.
This enhancement ensures that the final invoice accurately represents the customer’s outstanding balance after considering any advance payments received.
In this new report design, we have introduced
three optional fields that help in displaying and calculating the actual invoice value more effectively.
1. ADVDESC (Advance Description)
This optional field allows the user to mention the description or note related to the advance payment. This field provides clear visibility on the nature and percentage of advance that has been adjusted in the current invoice.
2. ACTUALAMT (Actual Service Amount)
The ACTUALAMT field represents the actual service or billing amount before any advance adjustment. This value indicates the total service amount that would have been charged to the customer prior to deducting any advance.
3. ADVAMT (Advance Amount)
The ADVAMT field captures the advance amount that has already been invoiced or received earlier. This ensures that the system deducts the advance payment from the total billed value, avoiding any duplication of charges.
New Stuff: – Branch-Wise AR Invoice Report in Sage 300

Once these details are entered in their respective optional fields during invoice entry, the report automatically performs the required calculation.
The actual payable amount is computed as:
Actual Service Amount – Advance Amount
which will be displayed in the report accordingly as shown in above report.
Key Benefits:
- Automatic Adjustment: The report automatically adjusts advance amounts from the total invoice value.
- Transparency: Users can easily view how much advance has been applied.
- Accuracy: Ensures correct calculation of payable amount in every invoice.
- User-Friendly: No manual edits are required once the optional fields are set.
This enhancement not only simplifies the billing process but also helps maintain transparency and consistency across all customer invoices.
