Document type setup on sales invoice entry transaction screen in Sage X3

By | August 30, 2023

As we are aware that in customer invoices, you need to enter the invoice type in the header. The invoice type will determine the processing applied to the entered invoice like whether it is a direct invoice or a credit memo or normal invoice or proforma.

Generally, whenever we create a new invoice, while selecting Invoice type, standard allows various types in selection. You can refer below screenshot.

Here, we can see the invoice types having different categories are listed out. In case, we need to allow only the invoice types having ‘invoice’ category to be listed in sales invoice screen then we can achieve that easily. You need to follow the below steps for the same.

  1. Navigate to: Setup > Sales > Entry transactions > Invoices
  2. Enter/select entry transaction type.
  3. The field ‘Document type’ is by default set to ‘All types’. This ‘Document type’ field has three options which works in below manner:
  4. Invoice: This will make all the invoice types having category as “Invoice” available for selection on sales invoice screen.
  5. Proforma: This will make all the invoice types having category as “Proforma” available for selection on sales invoice screen.
  6. All types: This will make all the invoice types available for selection on sales invoice screen.

We can change it to ‘Invoice’, save and validate the record.

Now, if we go to sales invoice screen and try to get selection list for invoice type field, standard will only display the types having category as ‘invoice’.

Refer below screenshot.

This invoice type has multiple options of category as follows. The setup of the user invoice type is performed in a single screen where the following fields must be entered:

When we select the ‘Document type’ field on entry transaction screen to ‘Invoice’, it searches for the invoice types having category as ‘Invoice’ and list out those fields for selection on Sales invoice header.

The similar setup you can find out for sales order, sales delivery etc.

Thus, we can make the required invoice types like invoices/proforma invoices into selection on sales invoice header by making the changes ‘Document type’ field at entry transaction level.
