Common questions

How do I code one invoice to several G/L accounts?

Choose Service as the document type and add one row for each G/L account. The vendor help refers to an A/P invoice of service type for this.

Do I need item codes for a service invoice?

No. On a service type document you enter the G/L account on each row instead of an item code.

Is the row-level steps page fully confirmed?

Only in part. Check your own form layout before you rely on it.

Does Pulsify learn how I code?

Yes. Pulsify suggests an account for each line from how that supplier was coded on past bills. You can change any suggestion.
