Don't diss calculating the invoice amounts on the '810' out of hand. I have
two examples...
1. Application System (a well-known major brand whose name I won't give you but
its initials are either "Point.Man" or "MAPICS") has
a bug and does not include in its EDI invoice extract certain things... which
causes the EDI invoice total to not foot/agree with
either A/R or itself.
Ok, so that's a bug in a 'user-unfixable' system, which is pretty rare...but
this next one .......
2. This happened to me about six-seven years ago.... the invoice receiver's
EDI system did not round line item fractional penny
prices the same way the application (correctly!) did it, so I had to calculate
the TDS01 invoice amount using "customer math."
True, the ERP system and the check did not match, but my client (the seller)
didn't care as much about the fourteen-cent 'short pay'
as he did about the $73,000.00 invoice which was totally 'unpaid' for the
sake of that fourteen cent difference.
That is, "never say never...."
