SBS MERA Revenue Allocation (Sales Invoice)

Use this page to enter the revenue allocation parameters for a sales transaction that has not been posted.

When this page is opened for the first time, all line items automatically appear in the Lines area of the form.
If any changes are made to the sales transaction, the Calculated Revenue Allocation is automatically recalculated.
When a line is added to an existing sales transaction where the sales invoice has been created, the following occurs:
- If the MEA type for the item is single, the Calculated Revenue Allocation amount is automatically recalculated.
- If the MEA type for the items is multiple, you must select the MEA number before the Calculated Revenue Allocation is recalculated.

Note icon. Note: Review the following information for invoices that have been created from ARCB:

You cannot add or delete a sales line, nor can you edit an existing sales line. However, you can delete the entire invoice.
If the revenue allocation is already attached to the billing schedule, the MERA information is carried forward to the invoice.
All information in the Revenue Allocation page is read-only and cannot be edited.
The Calculated Revenue Allocation amount is the same value as the Period Revenue on the SBS ARCB Billing Detail List.
The Accrued Amount = (sum of Calculated Revenue Allocation) - (sum of Net Amount) per MEA number

When you open this page for a posted sales invoice from the View - Posted Sales Invoice form, all data on the page is read-only and cannot be edited.
