Description of Voucher Processing Options

Verify voucher total You must indicate whether a document verification total can be
entered in Voucher Entry or Debit Memo Entry and if that total is to
be verified against the voucher or debit memo total on the line item
tab. This total includes the freight amount. You cannot save a voucher
if the verification total and line items/freight totals are not equal.

Require posting in You can indicate if vouchers can be entered with a prior period or
current period prior year or if they must be entered in the current period. If you
decide to require transactions to be dated the current period, Voucher
Entry will not allow you to save a record with prior period dates.

Document status You need to indicate the default status for a new voucher or debit
default in entry memo that is entered in Voucher Entry, Additional Cost Voucher
Entry, and Debit Memo Entry. This status can be overridden in the
entry windows.

Default accrued AP You can enter the default GL account number and account key you
account number and want updated when receipts are posted from Purchase Order or when
key accrual vouchers originating in Accounts Payable are posted. The
system uses this account number if no accrued AP account number is

How to Complete the Auto Number Setup Window

Description When you select Auto Number Setup from the menu browser, the
following window appears:

Procedure To complete the Auto Number Setup window, do the following:

Step Action
1 Select Auto Number Setup from the menu browser. The Auto
Number Setup window appears.

3 Select Save.
Need more information? Press F1.

How Automatic Numbering Works

Description Automatic numbering is system maintained to keep track of the next
available voucher and debit memo number, and purchase order
number. The numbers default when you enter vouchers and debit
memos, and enter purchase orders (in the Purchase Order
application). The date of the last period-end closing is also
maintained in this menu item.

40 Accounts Payable User’s Guide

Completing the Auto Number Setup Window

When you first start using the Accounts Payable application, you
must enter the initial numbers for vouchers and debit memos, and
purchase orders. Documents are then numbered sequentially
beginning with the entries you assigned. If you change a voucher
number during the posting process, the next voucher number in this
option is reset according to the number entered.

Note: To setup check numbers and masks, refer to , “Default Cash
Account key” on page 64.

Recommendations It is recommended that your numbering sequence be set up to prevent
the voucher and debit memo number, and purchase order number
from overlapping. For example, set your next voucher and debit
memo number up as 1000 and the next purchase order number as
3000. This minimizes the possibility of a purchase order and a
voucher having the same number.

Once starting numbers have been set up, modifications are not
recommended.

How Masking Works

Overview Many types of document numbers can now have a corresponding,
user defined mask. A mask consists of two parts;
• Static - An optional alphanumeric description
• Variable - A system generated number that must be a contiguous

number with no special characters.

This mask defines the static portion of the document number plus the
number of digits (up to nine) for the system generated portion of the
document number. In addition to defining a mask, you can also enter
the next available number.

For example, you might define a mask where the static portion
signifies the current year and the system generated number is six
characters long. Also, the auto numbering is set to begin numbering
with 000009. The mask will look like this:

2002-######

Accounts Payable User’s Guide 41

CHAPTER 3 Setting Up System Configuration Options

When a transaction is entered, using this mask, the new document
number will be 2002-000009.
The total size of a document number, including static and system
assigned number, can be no larger then 16 characters. Additionally,
the static portion of mask can be before and/or after system generated
number (e.g., 2002-########-12).
If a mask is not assigned, the default mask is used. The default mask
for all document number fields that is nine digits long (#########).
When a transaction is saved, the entire masked number is saved in the
document number fields, including the static portion.

Completing the General Ledger Interface Window

Post Distribution Method

Description The way in which transactions post to General Ledger is determined
by the posting method that you select when you complete the General
Ledger Interface window. Based on your selection, transactions are
posted either directly or indirectly when running the Print and Post
Distribution to GL report with the interface on.

The primary difference between the two posting options is as follows:

Posting Method Description
Direct
Transactions are always displayed in
Indirect GL Journal Batch Entry prior to mov-
ing to journal batch history
(NLTXBH and NLTXDH files).

Transactions display in Journal Batch
Entry only if the GL Sub-System
Transaction Import menu item is run.

Running Without the Interface to GL

Description If you run Print and Post Distribution to GL with the interface option
in the Print and Post Distribution to GL window cleared, the interface
to General Ledger is not activated. The system processes the data in
the same manner regardless of whether you later want to post using
the direct or indirect method. The following occurs when Print and
Post Distribution to GL is run without the interface:

• The system creates the interface header information (APNLXB1)
and detail information (APNLXD1) files in the company
subdirectory with a status of “Trial, Not Edited.”

• If you include the AP distributions on an error-free Period Edit
List, the status of the interface files changes to “Trial, Edited.”

• When you are ready, you can run Print and Post Distribution to
GL, generating the interface.

Accounts Payable User’s Guide 53

CHAPTER 3 Setting Up System Configuration Options

Note: Transactions are posted to General Ledger through the
Generate Interface option, which you can select when running Print
and Post Distribution to GL. This option appears only when the report
is sequenced by account number.

Posting GL Distributions

Using the direct When you set the Post Distribution Method field to direct, the
method following occurs when running the Print and Post Distribution to GL
report with the interface on:

• The GL journal batch files (NLTXB, NLTXD) are updated in the
company subdirectory.

• The interface files (APNLXB1 and APNLXD1) are removed
from the company subdirectory.

• The Accounts Payable distributions batch record can be recalled,
viewed, and corrected through the General Ledger Journal Batch
Entry menu items.

• The journal batch records are then posted in General Ledger,
updating the journal batch history files (NLTXBH and
NLTXDH). The posting also updates period balances (NLBAL).

Using the indirect When you set the Post Distribution Method field to indirect, the
method following occurs when running the Print and Post Distribution to GL
report with the interface on: The system updates the interface header
information (APNLXB1) and detail information (APNLXD1) files in
the company subdirectory with a status of “Final, Not Edited.”

The records remain in the interface file until they are posted to GL
journal batch history by the Edit List or a journal batch is created by
the GL Sub-System Transaction Import menu item.

maintenance options which should be set up in your system before
Introduction you begin using the software for normal Accounts Payable
operations.

Requiredvs.optional The menu items are presented in the recommended setup order and
menu items are designated as required or optional. As you proceed through the
setup sequence, you must set up required menu items. However, as
you reach optional menu items, consider the type of information they
contain and whether it pertains to the type of processing your
company would normally perform. If a file type does not apply (for
instance, you would not set up the Comments file if you do not want
to print comments on checks), simply continue with the setup of the
next relevant file.

Note: Optional menu items are interspersed among the required menu
items because you will use the information entered in those files
(using the Accounts Payable lookup) to automatically fill in fields in
subsequent files. For example, if different vendors offer different
terms, and you set up the Terms file before the Vendor file, you will
use the lookup to link a specific set of terms to each vendor in the
Vendor file.

Online Help As you proceed through the setup, remember to make liberal use of
the online Help to read an overview of the option and most
importantly before you enter data in each field.
