4.5.2.2 Defining the Format for Invoice Category Invoices

The Invoice Category invoice type provides individual line
items summarized to the invoice category level.  This type
does not show individual billed items, so no rates are shown.

Figure 4-45 is a worksheet to specify the format for Invoice
Category invoices.

Use the worksheet to define the following parameters:

o    FORMAT NAME

     Description:  The name of this invoice format entry.
     Accounting and Chargeback stores the options you select
     as a set that can be referenced by its format name.  You
     can produce invoices with these same options by
     specifying this format name.

     Default:  None

     Values:  Character, length 8

     Note:  This is a required field.

o    FORMAT DESCRIPTION

     Description:  A short description identifying this
     invoice format.

     Default:  None

     Values:  Character, length 30

o    SUPPLEMENTAL REPORTS

     Description:  This option specifies the type of
     supplemental charge reports that will be produced for
     subordinate cost centers.  DETAIL reports list the
     charges incurred by each individual cost center.  ROLLUP
     reports summarize charges by cost center level.

     Default:  NONE

     Values:  NONE, DETAIL, and ROLLUP

o    NUMBER OF LEVELS OF REPORTING

     Description:  This entry is valid only for ROLLUP
     supplemental reports.  It specifies the last COSTCTRn
     value for which intermediate invoice summary pages will
     be printed.  Specify a higher COSTCTRn value than the
     invoice level specified in the Cost Center Attributes
     file.  For example, if you are invoicing at COSTCTR2,
     specify ROLLUP at COSTCTR3 or higher.

     Default:  1

     Values:  Numeric, 1 to 9

o    LINE ITEM FORMAT

     Description:  The format in which invoice line items
     will be printed.  Valid values are CHARGE, BUDGET, YTD
     and BUDYTD.  Refer to Sections 6.1.1 and 6.1.1.1 for
     additional information.

     CHARGE    This format provides lines designated by
               invoice category codes and their associated
               descriptions.  The columns are invoice
               category code, invoice category description,
               and charge.

     BUDGET    This format adds a monthly budgeted amount and
               a variance from budget column to the CHARGE
               format.

     YTD       This format adds a year-to-date billed
               quantity and a year-to-date charge column to
               the CHARGE format.

     BUDYTD    This utilizes the basic CHARGE format but
               combines the BUDGET and YTD options.  The
               columns are current month charges, current
               month budget, variance from current month
               budget, year-to-date charges, year-to-date
               budget, and variance from year-to-date budget.

     Default:  CHARGE

     Values:   CHARGE, BUDGET, YTD and BUDYTD

o    PRINT SUBTOTALS AT COST CENTER LEVEL

     Description:  This option specifies whether subtotals
     will be printed at a specified cost center level.

     Default: blank (for no subtotals)

     amounts will be printed at the bottom of invoices.

     Default:  NO

     Values:  YES and NO

     Note:  This option has no effect if the YTD or BUDYTD
     line item format has been specified.  Year-to-date
     information is always printed for these formats.

o    PRINT BUDGET INFORMATION

     Description:  This option specifies whether budget
     information will be printed at the bottom of invoices.

     Default:  YES

     Values:  YES and NO

     Note:  This option has no effect if the BUDGET or BUDYTD
     line item format has been specified.  Budget information
     is always printed for these formats.

o    PRINT TOTALS IN EURO AND NATIONAL CURRENCY

     Description:  This option allows you to specify that
     totals are to be printed in both the euro and national
     currency.  See Appendix C, Section 1 for instructions on
     enabling this option.

     Default:  NO

     Values:  YES and NO

     Note:  Should one or more of the invoices in the run
     specify that totals are to be printed in both the euro
     and national currency, the grand total page will reflect
     both currencies.

o    LANGUAGE

     Description:  This option allows you to specify that the
     charging element units and charging element descriptions
     and the invoice category descriptions on the invoices
     are to be taken from a language translation table

     Translation Tables option.

               Table.

              translation table created using the Special
              Requirements Language Translation Tables
              option.

o    PRINT FOOTNOTE AS SHOWN BELOW

     Description:  This option provides a place to enter a
     one- or two-line footnote that will print at the bottom
     of invoices.

     Default:  None

     Values:  Any alphanumeric characters. Two lines
     maximum.

The example shown in Figure 4-46 specifies an invoice format

invoice category level in the CHARGE line item format.
DETAIL supplemental reports will be produced.  Invoice
category group subtotals will be shown.  The footnote entered
