Cut down on inputting. Example would be Staples office supplies -Currently if we get an invoice that has both an expense to one location and/or department but also has items allocated to various areas the invoice is entered as two separate invoices separating each allocation from all the one line direct hits. Worse if the allocation is to different natural accounts (supplies, janitorial supplies, printing) each allocation has to be entered as a separate invoice as well. Besides time consuming there is the possibility that the sum of all the input is not the total of the invoice resulting in time to find error and correct.
We have found a slight work around when entering an invoice in the database. When entering, we enter the allocation amount as the invoice amount, move onto the next, select the allocation, then add lines for the amounts that don't need to allocated, then return to the first tab, changing the invoice total. It is a complicated work around, and does not work if the invoice is split between two locations, each with their own allocations. I would to see a way for us to select an allocation and then tell it the amount that needs to be allocated, in both the database and NXT views.
