In this article we explain step by step how you can fill in the different fields. If you want to know more or the structure of the booking screen read this article.

This is the date of the invoice

The period you want to book the invoice, this usually runs equal to the months of the year. If the period deviates from the invoice date, you can click on 'ignore warnings' so that it will allow you to book the invoice.

With you click on the pushpin, you can lock the period in the booking screen. This way you can easily book multiple invoices without having to adjust the period each time.

This is the number indicated on the invoice. Please note: if Basecone suspects you have already booked the invoice, a button is displayed as 'duplicate', you can click on it to compare it with the invoice you want to book.

If a due date is found on the creditor's settings, the due date will be automatically calculated. Otherwise a period of 30 days will be used.

The total amount of the invoice inclusive VAT.

The currency is recognized based on what is indicated on the invoice. If a currency do not exist in Basecone, this can be created in the accounting system.

​13. Other options in the booking screen
​
​See this other article and look at point number 5.

If there is a difference between the sum of the amount excluding VAT and the VAT, versus the total amount including VAT, a difference will be shown here. You then have to correct one of the amounts. When the difference is very small (up to 2 cents) you can charge the difference to the highest VAT amount, or have the difference automatically transferred to the difference account, in order to eliminate rounding differences. For both options, Basecone displays a button as soon as the difference is less than or equal to 2 cents.

When you activated a transactional account in your accounting system, you are able to choose another target administration to book the invoice to. This way there is an transactional booking made. This is only applicable to Twinfield. Also make sure that in Twinfield the settings are correctly entered in the journal "Current Account " to prevent error messages!
