FAQ

Q: Why is the L.R. (Booking Entry) not appearing in the Sales Invoice or the Pending Bill List?

Answer:

This issue usually occurs because of the Billing Freight By Option setup.

By default, Paid and To Pay freight types may not appear in the Sales Invoice. Only TBB freight bookings are considered unless the required freight types are enabled in the company setup.

To verify and update the setup:

  1. Go to Menu → Setup → Company Setup.

  2. Open the Trans tab.

  3. Locate Billing Freight By Option.

  4. Select the appropriate option based on your billing requirement. Available options include:

    • TBB, Consignee, Consignor

    • To Pay, Paid, TBB, Consignee, Consignor

    • Paid, TBB, Consignee, Consignor

    • (Choose the option that includes the required freight types.)

Note:
If the L.R. has a Freight By value that is not included in the selected Billing Freight By Option, it will not appear in the Sales Invoice and will not be displayed in the Pending Bill List.
