Lock Invoices

Lock Invoices lets you exceed your regular system protection settings for just invoices. Enter a Lock Invoices Date and any invoices dated on or before the date will be locked.

If you click the Lock on an Invoice for Locked By information, the result can link here. This indicates that Lock Invoices is enabled and is locking the invoice you are viewing.

This setting was added to lock invoices when filing sales taxes to prevent any changes. Please confer with your system administrator or bookkeeper before changing the past.

1. Go to the System toolbar to System Prefs.

You must be the only user on the system to access this tool.

2. Enter a date for Lock Invoices Date.

3. Click OK to save the System Prefs.




  Payment Code

Payment Code lets you set imported payments to Payment or Prepayment by importing a code of 1 or 2. By default, imported Payments are Payments.

Prepayments is a feature you enable by setting a Prepayment Category in Customer Prefs on the Accounting tab.

Payment Code lets you set imported payments to Payment (1) or Prepayment (2) by importing the number 1 or 2. By default, imported Payments are Payments.

Prepayments is a feature you enable by setting a Prepayment Category in Customer Prefs on the Accounting tab. Enter a liability account like Customer Deposits to have Big Business accept Prepayments which automatically post to this account on the Date of the payment. When Prepayments are applied to invoices, they are then posted to Accounts Receivable on the Date of the invoice.

  Unblock Repricing

Big Business 13.36 adds a setting to Unblock Repricing. This lets you override new behavior that blocks repricing automatically.

The problem is with Qty Pricing or As Quoted Pricing you can give a customer a bulk price ($5/ea for 100) and have it automatically replace the default price ($6.95/ea). So, they order 100. If you invoice 50, though, Big Business could revert the price.

Now it does not revert the price, but still can if you choose Unblock Repricing.
