Use this job aid to create a split invoice. When a Ship to Name Id is selected during invoicing any splits associated with that name (relationships for splits are maintained in the Name and Address package in V9) are automatically applied to the items on the invoice. However, you may adjust the split percentages to be applied to all items on the invoice at the beginning of the invoicing process. Alternately or in addition, to this overall change in the splits, you can also adjust splits for each line item on the invoice individually. Any changes made to split percentages during invoicing do not effect the master record for the Name Id permanently. V9 recognizes that these adjustments are pertinent only to a specific invoice.
