This field may be used to find previously entered, un posted invoices/vouchers. Once an invoice/voucher has been posted it will no longer be available to view by this method. To find an invoice/voucher that has not been posted, enter or select the voucher number.
When entering a new invoice/voucher, leave this field blank. The system will assign a voucher number to the transaction based on tracking information in Accounts Payable Settings.
NOTE:
If an invoice/voucher has not been posted, it may be deleted by pulling up it's voucher number and pressing delete. An information box will be shown asking "Delete this Record". Click Yes to delete the voucher. Click No to close the box without deleting the voucher.
In some instances the transaction type may be preset to default to a specific type. This is done through the Accounts Payable Settings file found under the main menu option of Settings. The default type may be changed by selecting a transaction type from the drop down list. The transaction types available are listed below:
Regular AP - Transaction type used for entering invoices/vouchers to be selected through the voucher selection process and paid by an AP Check.
When posted, this entry will credit the accounts payable account for the pay group selected and debit the distribution account(s).
If a negative dollar amount is used, the accounts payable account will be debited and the distribution account(s) will be credited
NOTE: The system will not print out a zero or negative check.
Non Accounts Payable - Transaction type used to create an invoice and print a manual check for that invoice before posting. It is also used to record transactions for electronic payments or transactions where a check is not printed. After a check has been printed, the main view of Contract Voucher Entry will no longer be available for changes except for Invoice Description.
The cash account will be credited and the distribution account(s) will be debited, unless a negative dollar amount is used where the cash account will be debited and the distribution account(s) would be credited.
NOTE: The system will not print out a zero or negative check.
Cancellation - Transaction type used to cancel an invoice/voucher that has been posted. When this type is selected and the tab key or enter key is pressed a Voucher Cancellation Grid will be shown.
Simple Void - Used to void check numbers that are not recorded in the Horizon system.
For example: Checks were loaded in the printer when a report was printed making them unusable, but not recorded in the system. Use simple void to void those check numbers.
Void Check - Transaction type used to cancel an invoice/voucher that has been posted. When this type is selected and the tab key or enter key is pressed a Voucher Cancellation Grid will be shown.
Manual Voucher Payment - Record the payment of an unpaid invoice that is posted and showing in the open item report.
The invoice may have been paid by a hand written check, but was previously entered into the system and is still awaiting payment or is open.
Enter or select the contract number for the Voucher. When a valid contract number is entered, the program will fill in the vendor number after tabbing.
When a valid contract number or PO number is selected the vendor number associated with the contract or purchase order will be automatically selected.
When a valid contract number or PO number is selected the vendor name associated with the contract or purchase order will be automatically selected.
The facility code will be automatically filled in, when a valid contract # has been selected.
The default terms setup in the vendor master will show in this field. If the terms shown in this field need to be changed you may do so here. The change will apply to this invoice only.
If the terms should be changed permanently they can be changed in the Vendor Master.
Example: Select Net 30 Days.
The pay group should default first to the information that is setup in the Vendor Master. If there is no default pay group in the Vendor Master, the system will default to the pay group set in the Accounts Payable Settings file.
For reference information, the vendor's invoice number from their voucher may be entered. The invoice number will be shown on some reports and depending upon the AP Check format, may be shown on the check stub.
Enter the date of the invoice in a mm/dd/yy format or click on the square to the right of the field, activating the calendar pop up. Double click on the date of the invoice to enter it in the field.
Enter, use the calendar pop up, or let the system default to the current date for this field. This is the date voucher information will post to the general ledger.
The system will default to a due date based on the terms code entered for the voucher. The due date may be changed from the default value.
Vouchers may be selected by their due date.
Enter the total dollar amount due for the invoice.
Enter a description of your choosing for the invoice. This description will be shown in the general ledger for any transaction referencing the invoice.
This field may be left blank.
These fields will remain dimmed, unless the selected term code is associated with a discount.
The system will calculate the discount information based upon the term code defaults. Discount information may be changed for this voucher.
This entry is automatically skipped if the terms do not have a discount associated with them.
Enter any part of the invoice amount that is not subject to the discount specified in the terms. An example of this might be labor charges.
The amount of discount possible on this invoice is displayed automatically as specified by the terms. You may change the amount of discount, if necessary, by simply entering the new discount amount.
If the invoice is paid before the date in this field, the discount will automatically be applied to the voucher when the check is processed.
Placing a checkmark within this field indicates that you do not want this invoice combined with any other invoice for this vendor. This invoice is to be paid on a check by itself.
If the field is left blank and there are other invoices/vouchers for the same vendor, the invoices/vouchers will be combined and paid on one check.
The check number and check date fields are automatically skipped if the transaction type does not support it.
Check this field if this voucher is to record an electronic payment. If this field is checked the Check # that is displayed will be based upon the Last Electronic number that is in the Check Book Master.
For a voided check the system will display the voided check number.
For a non-accounts payable when the Electronic box is checked, the check number will be assigned. If the Electronic box is not checked this field will be available for a check number to be entered.
For a manual voucher, record the check number actually used to pay the open voucher.
For example:
Enter a number between 01 and 10 for an adjustment check that is not to show in the check book.
Enter a check number from 11 to 99 for an adjustment check or to record electronic transactions. These entries will post to the check book.
Both types of entries will post to the general ledger.
The AP Voucher Entry program may also be used to record electronic transactions.
