Invoices

BCW            

• To view BCW latest forecast data search with ‘Run Date’ filter of last Tuesday’s date and to view BCW latest long term forecast data search with ‘Run Date’ filter having the date of the last Friday of the month.

BDS/BGS-G

• Sometimes the amount Exostar says is available and the actual amount available to invoice can become out of sync.  We accommodate this by allowing suppliers to invoice in Exostar even when it says there is no value available to be invoiced.  The supplier just needs to input the quantity to be invoiced and click the recalculate button then click send.
• The yellow highlighting tells you there is an issue with the line quantity.
• Click send.  If the pop up window appears again close it and click recalculate again and click send.  The system will allow the invoice to be sent.
• Never try to back date an invoice.  The earliest invoice date is the day the invoice is submitted.  If the supplier tires to back date an invoice it will be rejected.
• Never try to reuse an invoice number. If the invoice number must be used again due to previous errors include a suffix such as “A” or “-1”, etc. Do not copy and paste numbers from other forms. Never us any of the following characters in the invoice number field: ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( )+ ` = { } | : ” < > ? [ ] \ ; ’ , . /
• Never use a decimal in the quantity field. This will cause a rejection. Most non-deliverable lines are set up with a unit price of 1 or .01. Then the actual value is listed in the quantity field. In either case a whole number must be used in the quantity field of the invoice.
