Transaction Types - Accounts Receivables R12

Use transaction types to define the accounting for the debit memos, credit memos, on-account credits, chargebacks, commitments, and invoices you create in Receivables. Transaction types also determine whether your transaction entries update your customers' balances and whether Receivables posts these transactions to your general ledger. 

If AutoAccounting depends on transaction type, Receivables uses the general ledger accounts that you enter here, along with your AutoAccounting rules, to determine the default revenue, receivable, freight, tax, unearned revenue, unbilled receivable, finance charges, and AutoInvoice clearing accounts for transactions you create using this type.

You can associate transaction types with your invoice sources in the Transaction Sources window to speed data entry in the Transaction and Credit Transactions windows. Active transaction types appear as list of values choices in the Transactions, Reverse Receipts, Credit Transactions, and Transaction Sources windows.

You can also define credit memo and invoice transaction types to use with AutoInvoice.
You should define your transaction types in the following order:
    • credit memo transaction types
    • invoice, debit memo, and chargeback transaction types
    • commitment transaction types
You must define your invoice transaction types before you define your commitment types.
Suggestion: To be able to void a debit memo, credit memo, on-account credit or invoice, define a Void transaction type with 'Open Receivables' and 'Post to GL' set to No. Then, as long as there is no activity against the transaction and it has not been posted to your general ledger, you can make it invalid by simply changing the transaction type to 'Void'.
