Using AR Misc Distribution Codes

AR Miscellaneous Distribution Codes track extra calculations on invoice amounts or cash received—commonly used for items like gross receipts tax. Assign codes at the customer or contract level, then report on the amounts.

Before you start​

  • Know which miscellaneous charges or tax-style calculations you need to track.
  • Decide whether codes are assigned by customer, contract, or both.

Steps​

  1. Open AR Miscellaneous Distribution Codes.
  2. Create a code with a unique identifier.
  3. Define how it calculates (for example percentage or fixed amount).
  4. Assign the code to the relevant customer or contract.
  5. Use reporting to monitor amounts by distribution code.

Notes​

  • Wrong assignments misstate tax or fee tracking—review when regulations or contracts change.
