12 Review and Post Vouchers

This chapter contains these topics:

After you enter your progress payment vouchers, you should review them to ensure that they are correct. You can then post the vouchers to the Account Ledger table (F0911) to prepare your system to issue payments against them.

12.1 Reviewing Vouchers

After you enter your progress payment vouchers, you can review them to ensure that they are correct. You can review vouchers individually or in groups.

When you review your vouchers, you can make changes to the information on a voucher prior to posting the voucher. You cannot change a posted voucher; you must enter and post an offsetting (negative) progress payment voucher to the same accounts and then enter a new voucher with the correct information.

Field Explanation
Voucher Number A number that identifies the original document, such as a voucher, invoice, unapplied cash, journal entry, and so on. On entry screens, you can assign the original document number or let the system assign it through Next Numbers.
Document Type - Voucher Only A user defined (system 00, type DV) document type for voucher entry. Any document type set up for voucher-only entry should begin with the letter P (payables). Reserved document types have been defined for vouchers, invoices, receipts, and time sheets.

The reserved document types are:

P_ – Accounts Payable Documents

R_ – Accounts Receivable Documents

T_ – Payroll Documents

I_ – Inventory Documents

O_ – Order Processing Documents

NOTE: For voucher entry, if you are using document type DV, you must also set up document type DT in user defined codes.

Screen-specific information

Progress payments are hard-coded to use document type OV.

Document Company A number that, along with document number, document type and G/L date, uniquely identifies an original document, such as invoice, voucher, or journal entry.

For World, if you are using the Next Numbers by Company/Fiscal Year feature, the Automatic Next Numbers program (X0010) uses the document company to retrieve the correct next number for that company.

If two or more original documents have the same document number and document type, you can use the document company to locate the desired document.

Document Type A user defined code (00/DT) that identifies the type of document. This code also indicates the origin of the transaction. JD Edwards World has reserved document type codes for vouchers, invoices, receipts, and time sheets, which create automatic offset entries during the post program. (These entries are not self-balancing when you originally enter them.)

The following document types are defined by JD Edwards World and should not be changed:

P – Accounts Payable documents

R – Accounts Receivable documents

T – Payroll documents

I – Inventory documents

O – Purchase Order Processing documents

J – General Accounting/Joint Interest Billing documents

S – Sales Order Processing documents
