Charge categorisation

All charges can be coded with the following to aid reporting or interfacing to other systems:
  • Invoice order—used for prioritising where on an invoice a charge will appear relative to other charges. Charges with a lower order number are printed before items with larger order numbers by default, depending on the stationery configuration.
  • Sales report category—used to group charges for Smile’s financial reporting.
    • GL Codes—for associating charges with an external GL system.
  • Discount category/commission category—used to categorise charges for the application of discounts and commission.
    Note: Charge type, which is used to quantify usage, for example, seconds or megabytes, uses the same object as Discount Category/Commission Category.
    Remember: Discounts will affect the final invoice charge amount.
