Three-way match

Program APVM, Voucher Entry/Maintenance, has a three way match option.

Account numbers assigned to purchase order lines in program POEM, P.O. Entry/Maintenance, take precedence over the account numbers assigned to the account distribution codes.

If the purchase order that was entered has purchase order lines assigned to projects, the amount distributed from this invoice to the project can be viewed and maintained with the [Project Distribution] button.

Vouchers can be created automatically in this program when receipts are entered for purchase orders in program REEM, Receiver Entry/Maintenance, and program REOM, One Step Receiver Entry/Maintenance. For more information, see the Automatic Vouchering of Receipts section.

 

Variance Checking

Variance checking can be enabled for vendors in program VEMM, Vendor Master Maintenance, and for vendor-item combinations in program VEQM, Vendor Quote Maintenance.

Manual Checks

Manual checks can be entered as part of the process in program APVM, Voucher Entry/Maintenance.

Use the [Manual Check] button to enter the manual check for the invoice.

Use program APMM, Manual Check Maintenance, only if you need to have more than one manual check for an invoice, or if you have one check for more than one invoice.

Manual checks cannot be entered in program APVM, Voucher Entry/Maintenance, if the voucher batch currency is different than the bank currency. You will have to enter the manual check in program APMM, Manual Check Maintenance, if this is the case.

 

Distribution Codes

Distribution codes can be entered on the voucher, or if the vendor's charges are always distributed to the same accounts, they can be attached to the Vendor Master record.

If the voucher is entered for a purchase order, and the purchase order lines were assigned general ledger account numbers in program POEM, P.O. Entry/Maintenance, the account numbers assigned to each line take precedence over the account numbers assigned to the account distribution codes.

Project Distribution

You can distribute partial or total invoice amounts to project lines.

If the invoice is being entered for a purchase order or purchase order line that was created for a project, the amount distributed to the project can be viewed and maintained with the [Project Distribution] button.

If the invoice being entered is to be distributed to a project even though there is no purchase order, you can enter the distribution amount using the [Project Distribution] button, without having to enter a purchase order.

 

Alternate Currency and Voucher Entry

Voucher batches must be entered in a single currency, assigned to the batch on the first page. All voucher amounts for the batch and the vouchers assigned to the batch are entered and displayed in the assigned currency.

The bank for the voucher batch will have the same currency as the batch. Only banks with an account type of Company or Both can be entered for a voucher. The bank currency can not be different than the voucher currency. The currency codes for the invoice/voucher, purchase order, and bank are displayed in the program.

Vendor vouchers are entered in the same currency as the voucher batch, regardless of the currency assigned to the vendor in program VEMM, Vendor Master Maintenance.

The general ledger accounts to which the voucher amounts are distributed can be assigned a different currency than the voucher.

The purchase order information will be displayed in the currency assigned to the voucher batch, regardless of the currency in which it was entered.
