If you are using the integration between Billing Central and FinancialForce Accounting, each time you complete a billing document or convert a billing document to a credit note, a FinancialForce Accounting transaction is created.
FinancialForce Accounting determines:
- The transaction's period from the document date.
- The transaction's document and dual exchange rates from the rates stored in FinancialForce Accounting for the document date.
- The transaction's general ledger accounts (GLAs) from the products on the document.
You can override a transaction's period, document and dual exchange rates, and product GLAs from within Billing Central by entering alternative values on the billing document. To do this, the following setup must be performed:
- The Period Override, Document Rate and Dual Rate fields must be added to your billing document page layout, or to the billing document's Enhanced Billing Document Additional Fields field set if you are using the enhanced Billing Document Detail page.
- The Product GLA Override field must be added to your billing document line item page layout, or to the billing document line item's Enhanced Billing Document Additional Fields field set if you are using the enhanced Billing Document Detail page.
- The following permission sets must be assigned to you:
- FDN Common Concepts - Billing Documents - Edit
- FFA Integrations - FDN Billing Document - Override Period
- FFA Integrations - FDN Billing Document - Override Exchange Rates
- FFA Integrations - FDN Billing Document - Override GLA
When creating billing documents and when converting billing documents to credit notes, you will then be able to override the period, document and dual exchange rates, and product GLAs that will be used on the resulting FinancialForce Accounting transaction.
