Vouchers may be posted individually or in groups using the Unposted Vouchers screen. After they are posted, open Vouchers may later be voided using the right-click menu on the Vendor History screen. To display unposted Vouchers, select the "List Unposted Vouchers" option. The following screen will appear:
Note
Actual Costs for purchased Items will be automatically updated when Vouchers are posted if there are differences between current Actual Costs and the vouchered Costs for the Items in question. Please keep in mind that Actual Costs only will be updated at posting. For new Costs to be recognized as Standard Costs, Actual Costs must be posted to Standard.
The "Vouchers" screen displays information on all unposted Vouchers, including Voucher Number, Purchase Order Number, Vendor Number/Vendor name, Vendor Invoice Number, and distribution date. Users with the appropriate privilege will also see the G/L distribution date column.
Tip
You may select multiple Vouchers for posting by highlighting them using your mouse—or a combination of your mouse and either the SHIFT or CTRL keys.
To the far right of the screen, the following buttons are available:
- CLOSE
Closes the screen, returning you to the application desktop.
Runs the report associated with this screen.
- NEW
Opens screen for creating a new Voucher.
- NEW MISC.
Opens screen for creating a new Miscellaneous Voucher.
Tip
If you have a Purchase Order Voucher that was corrupted by, for example, a sudden power outage, you can clear the record by running the Post Vouchers screen. In most cases, this action will remove the corrupted record and allow you to voucher the Purchase Order with a fresh Voucher.
- POST
Highlight one—or multiple—Vouchers, then select this button to post the selected Voucher(s). By default, Vouchers post to the General Ledger (G/L) on their distribution date. However, users with the appropriate privilege may change the G/L distribution date to an alternate date during the Voucher posting process. If used, Vouchers will post on the alternate date. The ability privileged users have to change the distribution date applies to the posting of both individual and also batches of Vouchers from this screen.
- Print Journal after Post
Select if you want to print a copy of the Payables Journal after the selected Vouchers are posted.
Right-clicking on an unposted Voucher in the list of unposted Vouchers enables you to select from the following menu options:
- Edit Voucher
Enables you to edit highlighted Vouchers. The edit screen is the same as that for creating a new Voucher—except that when editing, the fields will contain Voucher information. Double-clicking on a Voucher will also bring you to the editing screen.
- View Voucher
Highlight a Voucher and then select this button to reach a read-only view of the "Edit" screen.
