86.1 Submitting Vouchers for Batch Processing

When you are ready to process your batch vouchers, submit the Batch Voucher Processing Dream Writer program, P04110Z. You can process batch vouchers in proof or final mode.

Mode Description
Proof mode In proof mode, the system:
  • Verifies the data

  • Produces an exceptions report, if there are errors

Final mode In final mode, the system:
  • Creates JD Edwards World vouchers in the A/P Ledger table (F0411) and associated journal entries in the Account Ledger table (F0911)

  • Creates JD Edwards World payments in the A/P Matching Document (F0413) and A/P Matching Document Detail (F0414) tables, if you supply a payment number and date

  • Assigns document and batch numbers

  • Supplies default information

  • Validates voucher information

Produces an exceptions report, if there are errors


Use processing options to automatically perform the following tasks in final mode:

  • Post vouchers and payments to the A/P Ledger

  • Post journal entries to the general ledger

  • Purge posted and processed vouchers from the Voucher Transactions - Batch (F0411Z1) and Journal Entry Transactions - Batch (F0911Z1) tables.

86.1.1 What You Should Know About

Topic Description
Discount Handling default value If the Discount Handling field is blank, there is no easy way to update the value. A processing option in the Batch Voucher Processing program (P04110Z) allows you to specify a default value for this field if it is blank in the file.

86.2 Verifying Batch Voucher Information

When the system cannot process a batch voucher, it lists the voucher on an exceptions report. Use this report to detect the errors and verify batch voucher information.

The system produces this report in proof mode, prior to final processing.

Topic Description
Abbreviated column headings TT (EDI Transaction Type). This column is used to identify the type of transaction:

V – Voucher

D – Debit memo

I – Invoice

J – Journal Entry

TC (EDI Transaction Code). This column is used to identify how the system should process a transaction during final processing:

A – Add a new transaction

C – Change a transaction

D – Delete an unprocessed transaction

PR (EDI Successfully Processed). This column is used to indicate if a record has been successfully processed:

0 – Unprocessed record

1 – Processed record


86.3 Correcting Batch Vouchers

If any errors occur during the processing they will be noted on the edit report. The errors may be corrected and the batch reprocessed. If one transaction in the batch is in error, the entire batch will not process. Once the batch has been successfully processed, the field, processed (VLEDSP) will be updated from 0 to 1. These records will remain in the F0411Z1 and F0911Z1 files until they are purged.

To correct batch vouchers

  1. Do one of the following:

    • Change the voucher data at its source and re-transmit the batch to the JD Edwards World Accounts Payable system

    • Update the individual batch records on Batch Voucher Revisions

  2. Submit your batch of vouchers for processing again.
