Distribution Sets

Cashbook allows you to set up Distribution Sets.

A Distribution Code will attach different Source Codes to make up your Distribution Set.

For example, you could have a Distribution Set called RENT, everything pertaining to Rent - water/electricity, rates and taxes, parking etc. will be differentiated by their own Source Code.

Each of these Source Codes can be added to your RENT Distribution Set thereby facilitating quicker, more comprehensive transaction distribution, by grouping multiple detail lines onto one distribution template.

You define the Distribution Codes you require and attach a relevant description.

You then enter into your table the Source code, Default description, Account, Tax code, Amount and Comments.

These can be quickly and easily modified if required.

A Distribution Method can be selected to specify how the total distribution amount or amount of each distribution set detail line is calculated.

Distribution Methods are:

Fixed Amount

Enter a fixed amount in the Amount field of each distribution set detail line.

The total of all the distribution detail line amounts is updated to the Total Dist. Amount field.

Fixed Percentage

Enter a total distribution amount in the Total Dist.Amount field from which the detail line amount will be calculated according to the distribution percent entered on the detail line.

Enter a distribution percentage in the Distribution Percent field to calculate the distribution detail line amount from the Total Dist. Amount according to the percentage entered for the detail line.

Select the Calc. Dist. button to calculate the distribution set detail line amounts.

Spread Evenly

Enter a total distribution amount in the Total Dist.Amount field from which the distribution amount on each detail line will be calculated.

Select the Calc. Dist. button to calculate the same distribution set detail line amount for each detail line from the amount in the Total Dist.Amount field.
