Booking revenue/costs in the period of Order/Shipment (Exact Online)

Standard setting

Per default setting: Scope assigns an economic date to the accounts receivable/payable using the economic date of the shipment on which the receivables/payables are booked (other option is that it uses the invoice date as the economic date).
Scope will then generate bookings that book the revenue/costs in the same period as the  invoice header.
This works fine when the invoice is assigned to 1 shipment. In case the invoice is assigned to multiple shipments (with different economic dates) Scope will take the economic date of the oldest shipment as the economic date of the accounts receivable/payable header . This means for some shipments that revenue/costs will be booked in a different period than the economic date of the shipment.

New option

The Exact Online accounting interface now supports the option to indicate per line/shipment that the revenue/costs should be booked in a different date/period than the period of the invoice header.
Exact Online will then automatically create 2 additional memorial bookings for each line of the invoice:

1. In period/economic date of the  invoice header: transfer the revenue/costs from the revenue/cost ledger to a temporary ledger
2. In period/economic date of the shipment: transfer the revenue/costs from the temporary ledger to the revenue/costs ledger.

Preparation/setup in Exact Online

1. Create (if does not exist yet) a balance ledger for temporary costs.
2. In the administration settings you need to define 4 fields with this general ledger:
   
   

Preparation/setup in Scope

1. Create the last accounting batch and import that in Exact.
2. In the finance settings of Scope, activate the option to book the revenue/costs per line/order/shipment level. Please contact Riege Support for this.

Once this setup has been done Scope will generate Exact Online bookings with the economic date of the shipment in the lines.
