Fields

Field Description
Select Existing Run

Select this option to add the AP voucher to a Create Voucher from PO run (batch file) that you previously created. The file will be used to post the AP voucher in the Create Voucher from PO process.

Use the field beside this option to select an existing Create Voucher from PO run. If you track multiple companies, the drop-down list includes only runs that were created in the active period for the active company. Runs that are currently open in another window do not display in the list.

Create New Run

Select this option to add the AP voucher to a new Create Voucher from PO run (batch file). The file will be used to post the AP voucher in the Create Voucher from PO process.

Enter the name of the voucher run in the field beside this option. If you track multiple companies, the file is created in the active period for the active company.

Voucher Date

Specify the date of the voucher. When the voucher is created, this date is the transaction date in the posting log.

The date that you specify must adhere to the active company's transaction date validation settings, which are specified on the General tab of Settings > Accounting > Company Settings. These settings determine whether or not you are required to enter transaction dates that are within the active fiscal year and/or within the active accounting period.

Bank Select the bank from which the voucher will be paid. If you track multiple companies, only the banks associated with the current company display in the drop-down list.
Next Voucher Number

This field displays only if voucher numbers are required for Accounts Payable vouchers (the Require entry of voucher numbers check box is selected on the Accounts Payable tab of Settings > Advanced Accounting > System AP).

Enter the number for the AP voucher. The number must be within the valid range of voucher numbers that is specified for the company on the Accounts Payable tab of Settings > Accounting > Company AP.

If you do not require voucher numbers in Settings, voucher numbers are automatically assigned when you post vouchers.

Diary This field displays only if you have set up a diary for the fiscal period or fiscal year in which you are entering transactions in the Diary Auto Numbering Options section of the Transaction Settings form in Settings > Accounting > Transactions.

Use this field to select a diary code for the current transaction or the group of transactions if you are processing a group of transactions, such as in a vendor payment run. The diaries are used to generate diary reports that contain a set of sequentially numbered transactions that have been posted to the general ledger during the fiscal year or to specific fiscal periods. You can assign different diaries (that have different diary types) to different types of transactions.

The Diary drop-down list contains three columns. The first column displays the diary code. The second and third columns display the diary type for the diary code and the description of the diary type.

The drop-down list contains all the diaries that you set up on the Diary Auto Numbering Options section in Transactions Settings that have the same fiscal period or fiscal year in which you are entering transactions or that have no fiscal period or year entered for them.

If you have multiple companies in DPS, the Diary field drop-down list includes only the diary codes that are set up for the current company. The list also includes IC - Intercompany Diary to capture intercompany transactions.

You cannot delete a transaction after it has been saved with a diary number. If a transaction is incorrect, you can enter zero amounts for the transaction or enter a reversing transaction.
