We are currently posting our client invoices with a journal entry. Is there a way to post to the AR subledger and then have the AR subledger feed the ledger? Thanks

You can post your AR through a journal entry and just make sure to Account type to Customer and that will post back to the AR subledger. You also have to be careful if you are using dimension by doing it this way as it will post the dimensions the AR account as well as the income account if you are using the what I call Show More Columns feature in BC. You can change it to the Show Fewer you just may have to personalize your window to add the account type into that window. Don't forget you may have to remove it from the Show More Columns first so that it will be available in the +Fields area. You can of course also use Sales Invoices to post to the subledger and it will flow to the GL.

I hope this helps reach out if you need more information.

And just to add to Tanya's answer. If you use a sales journal you can even attach a document file for the invoice if the invoice is produced in a 3. party system.

Hi Vincent -

Please refer official MS Docs for Sales Invoices: learn.microsoft.com/.../sales-how-invoice-sales

You can also watch some videos on Youtube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0qMCPiozsQ

Furthermore:

Whenever you use a Sales Journal (With A/C Type Customer) and/or use a Sales Invoice, on posting any of these documents, a AR Subledger (aka Customer Ledger Entries) and a General Ledger are created automatically. You need not do any additional journaling to pass your AR Subledger entries into the General Ledger or vice versa. The best way to check it yourself is by using the "Find Entries" button in Customer Ledger entries, you'll see that no matter what CLE line you pick up, each line will have a corresponding General Ledger created

Nonetheless, after you are done creating your Sales Invoice, as highlighted in one of those videos, you can try "Preview Posting" it by pressing this button. What this feature does it, it will mimic all the Transactional Effects that will be happening once the sales invoice in question has been sent for GL Processing. Pressing "Preview Posting" does not actually post your invoice on the general ledger

Hope it helps answer your questions. Do mark "YES" on the top if this answer helped you

Well in the finance module. You can just search for it if you do not have a shortcut to it in your rolecenter.
