You can save time and improve accuracy when you post A/P invoices based on percentages of the invoice amount to G/L distributions. You can enter a percent and have the computer calculate the amount to distribute with the press of a single key.

With enhancement APD - Distribution by Percent, you have the choice of entering either an amount or a percentage. To enter a percentage, just type the percent and push F7 - Percent. To enter an amount, just type the number and push Enter.
