Purpose: This topic describes how to enter an A/P invoice that you are matching against a purchase order.
Screen differences to note: The appearance of the Work with A/P Invoices screen differs based on the setting of the Enter Gross A/P Invoice Amount (F03) system control value. If this system control value is selected:
• You will be able to enter a gross merchandise amount and any percentage discounts to apply toward that merchandise total.
• If you specified any percentage discount(s) on the purchase order header, these discounts default onto the A/P invoice header.
• The system applies the discount(s) to the gross merchandise total to determine the net merchandise total for the invoice. You will not be able to enter the net total.
If the system control value is unselected, the gross merchandise and discount fields will not display; instead, you must enter the net merchandise total. If you applied discounts to the matching purchase order, net merchandise amount you enter should reflect these discounts.
See About Discounts for more information on how discounts apply in A/P invoice entry.
Drop ship purchase order: The screens you use to create an A/P invoice for a drop ship purchase order are the same ones as when you match the A/P invoice to any other purchase order. You generate drop ship purchase orders for vendors whose Drop ship output setting is Drop ship purchase order. You must specify a purchase order number at the A/P Invoice Entry screen or subsequent scan screen.
See Entering Drop Ship Invoices, for information on the screens you use to enter an A/P invoice that is matched to a drop ship pick slip.
A/P invoice upload: You can also create A/P invoices through an upload. See Working with A/P Invoice Upload Errors (WAPU) for an overview.
In this topic:
• Work with A/P Invoices Screen (Entering A/P Invoice Header Information)
• Work with Invoice Details Screen
• Display A/P Transaction Screen
• Display Receipt Details Screen
• Including, Excluding or Closing Invoice Details
• Variances and Invoice Charge Backs
• Work with Invoice Detail Discounts Screen
• Work with Invoice Discounts Screen
• Create Unmatched Transactions Screen
• Change Merch/Other Amount Window
• Accepting or Rejecting the Invoice
If the Enter Gross A/P Invoice Amount (F03) system control value is selected, you enter gross invoice totals for an A/P invoice and the system calculates the merchandise total based on any discounts. The discount percentages from the purchase order default onto the A/P invoice header, but you can override them and the system recalculates based on your entries.
If the Enter Gross A/P Invoice Amount (F03) system control value is unselected, you enter the net merchandise totals for each invoice.
Item discounts: Adding or changing discount percentages for the invoice totals does not automatically apply these discounts to the items on the invoice. Instead, you can select Discount at the Work with Invoice Details Screen to apply discount percentages to the items on the invoice, or select Discount for specific items to apply discounts individually.
Matching totals: To accept and process an A/P invoice, the invoice total and the total cost of all included items and other charges must match. This matching may be difficult to do when you enter the gross invoice amount and have the system calculate discount amounts.
Override discounts at the item level: If the discount(s) that apply to all of the items on the invoice are not the same, it may be difficult to match the invoice and item totals. For example, if you enter an invoice total of $100.00 with a 10% discount, the system calculates a merchandise total of $90.00. Unless each item on the invoice is also using a 10% discount, the total cost of included items may not match the $90.00 total.
Unit discounts: You cannot have the system calculate unit discounts at the invoice level.
Price overrides: If you override the item cost on a purchase order or an invoice, you will not be able to apply a discount to that item when entering the A/P invoice.
Foreign currency: Using A/P invoice discounts is not currently implemented for foreign currencies.
When you are entering an A/P invoice whose totals do not match “easily,” you can simply enter the merchandise total in the Gross merchandise field and clear each of the discount percentage fields; in this way, you force the totals to match. However, if you often process invoices that present these exceptions, it may be easier for you to set the Enter Gross A/P Invoice Amount (F03) system control value to N.
Work with A/P Invoices Screen (Entering A/P Invoice Header Information)
Purpose: Use this screen to enter header information for an A/P invoice that you are matching to a purchase order. See also Work with A/P Invoices Screen (Entering Invoice Header Information) for information on entering drop ship invoices, and Work with A/P Invoices Screen (Entering Invoice Header Information) for information on entering unmatched invoices.
Creating the invoice header: The information you enter on this screen becomes the “header” information for the invoice. Header information includes the general information that applies to the entire invoice, such as vendor number, invoice status, and merchandise and other total dollars.
How to display this screen: Enter a purchase order number at the A/P Invoice Entry Screen (Selecting an A/P Vendor) or select a purchase order from a subsequent scan screen.

For example, if the invoice date is 4/21/06 and the gross days is 15, then the due date is 4/30/06 (end of month) + 15 = 5/15/06. Numeric, 6 positions (MMDDYY format); display-only, calculated by the system. |
Net due date |
The last date when the discount can be taken on the A/P invoice if it is paid before the due date. If terms code type is days, the invoice date plus the net due days equals the net due date.

Work with Invoice Details Screen
Purpose: Use this screen to identify which items on the purchase order will be included in this A/P disbursement or credit.
This screen identifies the items and quantities for which the vendor is eligible to receive payment when you are matching an A/P invoice against a purchase order, including all received items on the purchase order for which the vendor is due payment, or all items included on a vendor charge back. You have the option of selecting only specific items or a partial quantity of the receipt for payment. If you do not pay or close out any of the lines from the purchase order, they will remain available for you to match against a subsequent A/P invoice.
Additionally, use the options on this screen to review:
• all items available for payment on the invoice, or just the unposted (unselected) items
• purchase order receipt information
• vendor discounts
or to change:
• unit costs
• unit quantities
• invoice header totals
• the payment status of individual items
• discounts, either for individual items or for all items at once
• general ledger account number, or make the G/L numbers display-only
You can also select items for payment:
• individually
• all at once
• by purchase order receipt control number
Finally, you can add:
• an unmatched item for payment
• A/P invoice notes
Separate lines for the same item: If you received partial quantities of an item on different occasions, at different prices, using different receipt control numbers, or into different locations, there will be a separate detail line available for matching for each partial quantity. For the sake of brevity, each invoice detail line including the receipt information for an item is referred to as an item.

• pay all: paying for all items at their current prices, discounts, and quantities
• match by control number: selecting items for payment based on the receipt control number assigned when you received them
• change quantity: pay for a greater or smaller quantity than the default from the purchase order
• change price: specify a different unit price for an item
• close line: indicating that you are not paying for the item that has not yet been fully included on an A/P invoice.
You can also use each of these options to reverse a selection you had made previously (for example, reopening a line that you had closed).
Include: Select Include/exclude payment for an item to include the item for payment on the A/P invoice.
Validation: The system validates that the item is in an open status and has a valid general ledger account number, and displays an error message if the item is not available for inclusion. Correct the item and select Include/exclude payment again to include it.
Change Status: The item's status changes from open to:
• Fully posted if you are not using batching
• Unposted if you are using batching and you are including the entire quantity
• Partially posted if you are using batching and you are including a partial quantity to indicate that the item is posted to the A/P invoice.
Once you have included, or partially included, an item on a suspended invoice, that item is not available to be included on another invoice until you process or close the original one.
A/P Totals: The total quantity and dollars applied to A/P for the item (A/ #/$) increase to reflect the posting; these totals appear on the second line for the item. Also, the Qty applied and Amt applied totals at the top of the screen increase to reflect payment of the item.
Note: If your transaction changed the entire quantity of the item to a posted status, the item disappears from the screen. You can select Dsp All/Unposted to display all items eligible to be included on the invoice, regardless of status.
Exclude: Select Include/exclude payment for an item that is currently included for payment on the invoice to exclude it from payment.
Validation: The system validates that:
• the item is in a fully posted status (Unposted status if you are using batching, or Fully posted status if you are not using batching)
• that you have not closed the line by selecting Close/Open for it
An error message indicates if you can not currently exclude the item from payment. Correct the item and select Include/exclude payment for it again to exclude it.
Change Status: The item's status changes from Unposted (if you are using batching) or Fully posted (if you are not using batching) to Open.
A/P Totals: the total quantity and dollars applied to A/P for the item changes back to zero. Also, the Qty applied and Amt applied totals at the top of the screen decrease to reflect excluding the item.
Exclude a Partially Included Item: If you have included a partial quantity of an item, you must select Include/exclude payment for the item twice to exclude it. The first time you select Include/exclude payment the entire quantity of the item will be included; and the second time you select Include/exclude payment the entire quantity will be excluded.
Pay All
To include all items on the Work with Invoice Details Screen for payment using the default quantities, select Pay All. The Confirm Accept pop-up window displays:
Change Cost: Optionally, you can change the unit cost of any items before selecting Pay All. See Change Quantity or Cost.
Validation: The system validates that each open item has a valid general ledger account number. If there is an open item without a valid G/L number, the system displays an error message and no items from that point further are included for payment. Once you have corrected the item, you can select Pay All again to continue processing open items on the screen.
Change status: The items' status changes from Open to Unposted, if you are using batching, or Fully posted, if you are not using batching, to indicate that the item is posted to an A/P invoice.
A/P totals: The total quantity and dollars applied to A/P for each line (A/ #/$) increase to reflect the posting. Also, the Qty applied and Amt applied totals at the top of the screen increase to reflect all lines included on the current invoice.
Note: Each item fully posted as a result of your entry disappears from the screen. You can select Dsp All/Unposted to display all items eligible to be included on the invoice, regardless of status.
Exceptions: When you use Pay All to pay all lines, the default quantity from the purchase order receipt is included on the A/P invoice. To use a different quantity for an item, you can:
• use Quantity to make the Qty field enterable
• change the quantity
• select Include/exclude payment for the line to include it
• select Close/Open for the line to close it
• select Pay All to pay the remaining items
Alternatively, you can use Pay All to pay all items first and then reopen an item and change the quantity.
Depending on the number of items available for payment and the number of exceptions, it may be easier to include each line individually by selecting Include/exclude payment for it. See Include/Exclude.
Enter Receipt Control Number for Payment Window (Match by Control Number)
Select Cntl# Match to select all items received under the same purchase order receipt control number for payment using the default quantities. The Enter Receipt Control Number for Payment pop-up window displays:
At this pop-up window, you can:
• enter the receipt control number associated with the A/P invoice and select OK to include each open item received with that control number for payment.
Change Cost: Optionally, you can change the unit cost of any items before selecting Cntl# Match. See Change Quantity or Cost.
Validation: The system validates that each open item with this receipt control number has a valid general ledger account number. If there is an open item without a valid G/L number, the system displays an error message and no items from that point further are included for payment. Once you have corrected the item, you can select Cntl# Match again to continue processing open items for the receipt control number.
Change status: The items' status changes from Open to Unposted, if you are using batching, or Fully posted, if you are not using batching, to indicate that the item is posted to an A/P invoice.
A/P totals: The total quantity and dollars applied to A/P for each line (A/P #/$) increase to reflect the posting. Also, the Qty applied and Amt applied totals at the top of the screen increase to reflect all lines included on the current invoice.
Note: Each item fully posted to A/P as a result of your entry disappears from the screen. You can select Dsp All/Unposted to display all items eligible to be included on the invoice, regardless of status.
Exceptions: When you use Cntl# Match to pay all items associated with a receipt control number, the default quantity from the purchase order receipt is included on the A/P invoice. To use a different quantity for an item, you can:
• use Quantity to make the Qty field enterable
• change the quantity
• select Include/exclude payment for the line to include it
• select Close/Open for the line to close it
• select Cntl# Match to pay all of the remaining items for the receipt control number
Alternatively, you can use Cntl# Match to pay all items for the receipt control number first and then reopen an item and change the quantity.
Depending on the number of items available for payment and the number of exceptions, it may be easier to include each line individually by selecting Include/exclude payment for it. See Include/Exclude.
Select Quantity to change the Qty field from display-only to enterable. You can then advance to this field for a particular item and enter a new quantity to change the quantity. When you do so, the Extension next to the item changes to reflect the new result of the item quantity times the price. You then need to include the item for payment by selecting Include/exclude payment for the item.
Decrease quantity and leave open: To pay for a lower quantity than what you received on the purchase order and leave the line open:
• enter a lower quantity in the Qty field
• select Include/exclude payment for the item and select OK.
By doing so, you retain the option of paying for the remaining quantity on a subsequent A/P invoice you might receive from the vendor, or closing the remainder off at a later time. The item's status remains open if you are not using batching, but changes to Partially posted if you are using batching.
Decrease quantity and close: To pay for a lower quantity than what you received on the purchase order and close the line:
• enter a lower quantity in the Qty field
• select Include/exclude payment for the item and select OK
• select Close/Open for the item to close it
By doing so, you make the remaining quantity of the item unavailable to include for payment on a subsequent A/P invoice. The item's status changes to Fully posted if you are not using batching, or Unposted if you are using batching.
Once you accept the A/P invoice (or accept the batch, if you are using batching) the difference between the original dollar total for the item and the total that you actually included on the A/P invoice is credited to the Purchase unit variance G/L number set up for the division. This posting takes place only when you close the item, whether you do it on the first A/P invoice for the purchase order or later.
Note: When you close the item, it disappears from the screen. You can select Dsp All/Unposted to display all items eligible to be included on the invoice, regardless of status.
Decrease cost: To pay for the item at a lower cost than cost that defaulted from the purchase order:
• enter a lower cost in the Cost field
• select Include/exclude payment for the item and select OK
Unless you decrease the unit quantity as well, the line will close at this time and the difference in extended price will post to the Purchase price variance G/L number from the Division table.
Note: If your transaction closes the item, it disappears from the screen. You can select Dsp All/Unposted to display all items eligible to be included on the invoice, regardless of status.
Increase quantity and/or cost: To pay for a higher quantity of an item than what you received on the purchase order, to pay for it at a higher cost, or to do both, and to close the line:
• optionally, enter a higher quantity in the Qty field
• optionally, enter a higher cost in the Cost field
• select Include/exclude payment for the item and select OK
When you do so, the A/P Invoice Charge Back pop-up window opens for each item with a higher quantity or cost, or both:
A/P Invoice Charge Back Window
This window provides the option of creating a credit invoice to offset the difference between the amount you will actually pay the vendor and the amount of the invoice you received from the vendor. See Variances and Invoice Charge Backs.
Note: If you change the cost of an item on this screen, the system displays an error message and you will not be able to apply any discounts to it by selecting Discount for an item or by selecting Discount.
Closing/Opening a Detail Line
Use this option to close an open item so that it will not be eligible to include in an A/P invoice.
You can close any item that you have not yet posted to an invoice, or for which you have posted only a partial quantity. If you include the entire quantity of an item on an A/P invoice, the line closes automatically when you accept the invoice (or batch, if you use batching).
To close: To close an open item on the Work with Invoice Details screen, select Close/Open for the item and select OK. The status of the item changes to Fully posted (if you do not use batching) or Unposted (if you are using batching).
Note: The status must be open or partially posted (this status is available only if you use batching) for the item to be eligible for closing.
To open: To open a closed line on the Work with Invoice Details Screen, select Close/Open for the item and select OK. The status of the item changes back to open (or partially posted, if the line was partially posted and you are using batching). If you then want to exclude the entire quantity of a partially posted item, you must select Include/exclude payment for the item twice: the first time includes the remaining quantity, and the second time excludes the full quantity.
You cannot close a line that would be fully posted when you accept the current invoice or batch, as a fully posted line closes automatically upon acceptance. If you select Close/Open for an item that has been fully posted to an A/P invoice, an error message indicates:
The A/P Transaction has not been closed.
Variances and Invoice Charge Backs
Purpose: If you select OK at the A/P Invoice Charge Back Window, you create a credit invoice to offset the difference between the original amount you owe the vendor based on the purchase order receipt, and the amount you are including in the A/P invoice for payment. Creating an invoice charge back has the effect of creating a payment that matches the vendor's invoice to you, so that he can match the payment easily, but still allowing you to pay him the lesser amount.
Example:
• You receive 10 units of AB100 at $10.00 each: $100.00
• You receive an invoice for 12 units of AB100 at $10.00 each: $120.00
• When you enter the A/P invoice, you change the quantity from 10 to 12 and indicate to create an invoice charge back
• When you accept the A/P invoice (or the batch, if you are using batching), the system creates both the A/P invoice you entered (for $120.00) and a credit invoice (for $20.00)
When does window display? The pop-up window displays only if the extended cost of the item is higher than the default from the purchase order receipt. For example, if you increase the unit quantity but decrease the unit price, the pop-up window will display only if the result of the new price and quantity is larger than your original extended price from receiving. Similarly, if you increase only the unit cost, the pop-up window will display.
If you increase more than one item: If you increase the extended cost of more than one item on an A/P invoice, the pop-up window displays one time for each item you increase. If you select OK at more than one pop-up window, the invoices will be consolidated onto a single credit invoice when you accept the invoice or batch.
When you create the invoice charge back: When you choose to create the invoice charge back and accept the invoice:
• You advance to the Work with A/P Invoice Notes Screen, where you can enter additional information about the reason for the invoice charge back.
• The system uses the next available number from the Vendor charge back # field in the Number Assignment table (A35) to create the credit invoice, appending the letters CI to indicate it was produced by an invoice charge back; for example, 000000011CI. See Setting Up the Number Assignment Table (WNUM)for more information.
Note: If you are using batching, the credit invoice is not created until you accept the batch.
If you do not create an invoice charge back: If you do not choose to create a chargeback at the pop-up window, or if your changes represent a decrease from the extended receipt cost, the difference between receipt cost and the A/P cost post to a variance account.
Quantity/price change results: The effects of the different changes you can make to an item's cost and unit quantity, and the way these differences post to purchase variance accounts, are summarized in the transaction table.
Transaction |
Result |
Increase units |
debit Purchase unit variance |
Decrease units |
credit Purchase unit variance |
Increase unit cost |
debit Purchase price variance |
Decrease unit cost |
credit Purchase price variance |
Note: The A/P Invoice Charge Back Window displays whenever you increase the extended price of an item; if you do not choose to create a chargeback at the window, the system creates the invoice charge back and does not post to a variance account.
If you perform two changes at once -- for example, increase the unit quantity but unit cost -- both of the variance accounts will be affected:
Unit Quantity |
Unit Cost |
Extended Cost |
Original (receipt): |
||
10 |
$2.50 |
$25.00 |
Changed to at A/P: |
||
15 |
$1.50 |
$22.50 |
Debit to unit variance: |
||
($37.50 (15 @ $2.50) - $25.00 (10 $ $2.50)) |
||
Credit to price variance: |
$15.00 |
|
($22.50 (15 @ $1.50) - $37.50 (15 @ $2.50)) |
||
Net credit to variance accounts: |
$2.50 |
|
A/P invoice upload: You cannot create an invoice charge back when you create invoices through the A/P invoice upload; instead, the Generate credit invoice? field is unselected, and the cost difference is posted to the variance accounts as described above. See Working with A/P Invoice Upload Errors (WAPU) for an overview.
Work with Invoice Detail Discounts Screen
Purpose: Use this screen to enter or change the three discounts that apply to the item and/or to change the gross unit cost of the item.
You can work with item discounts even if the Enter Gross A/P Invoice Amount (F03) system control value is selected. See About Discounts.
Note: These discounts do not apply to drop ship purchase orders.
How to display this screen: Select Discount for an item at the Work with Invoice Details Screen.
Field |
Description |
The unit receipt cost of the item before applying any discounts. Select Chg Gross Cost to change this cost. Numeric, 9 positions with a 4-place decimal; display-only. |
|
The unit receipt cost of the item after applying discounts. The system recalculates this field when you change the discounts or gross cost and select Accept to accept the changes. Numeric, 9 positions with a 4-place decimal; display-only. |
|
The label for each discount is from the Vendor/PO Discount Values (E18) field in the System Control table. |
|
The percentage discount to apply against the unit cost of this item. You can enter either a percentage discount or a unit discount for each of the discount levels on this screen, but not both. Select Chg Unit Discount to clear the percentage discount field where your cursor is currently located and enter a unit discount instead. Percentage discounts are calculated based on the method from the Discount calculation method field in the Vendor Extended table. See Combined Discount Calculation and Tiered Discount Calculation for examples of each discount calculation. Numeric, 6 positions with a 2-place decimal; optional. |
|
The dollar amount to subtract from the unit cost of an item on the A/P invoice. You can enter either a percentage discount or a unit discount for each of the discount levels on this screen, but not both. Select Chg Unit Discount to clear the unit discount field where the cursor is currently located and enter a percentage discount instead. If you have entered a percentage discount, the system calculates the resulting unit discount, which displays here. Percentage discounts are calculated based on the Discount calculation method field in the Vendor Extended table. See Combined Discount Calculation and Tiered Discount Calculation for examples of each discount calculation. Numeric, 11 positions with a 4-place decimal; optional. |
|
Important: If you have not defined a Discount calculation method in the Vendor Extended table, the system does not prevent you from entering discounts on this screen, but does not apply them to the gross merchandise total or display an error message; the net merchandise total will simply be the same as the gross total. See Working with Vendors (WVEN) for more information on working with vendors.
Step-by-step instructions:
1. Complete the Percent (Discount percentage) or Unit discount field for each discount field label. Select Chg Unit Discount to clear the discount field where the cursor is currently located and toggle between the Percent (Discount percentage) and Unit discount fields. If you leave both the Percent and Unit discount fields blank, no discount will apply.
2. Optionally, select Chg Gross Cost to change the amount in the Gross cost field.
3. Select Accept to accept.
4. The system recalculates the net cost based on the value in the Discount calculation method field in the Vendor Extended table. The new Net cost displays. If you entered a percentage discount, the resulting unit discount calculated by the system also displays.
See Combined Discount Calculation and Tiered Discount Calculation for examples of each discount calculation method.
Note: Calculating discounts in a foreign currency is not currently implemented.

Select Accept. The Confirm Accept pop-up window displays. |
The combined discount calculation method combines the values of all 3 discounts to determine the net cost. Any discount percentages defined for the discounts are calculated before the unit discounts are applied.
Note: The Combined Discount Calculation does not apply to drop ship purchase orders.
Example:
Cost of item = $100.00
Primary discount (defined in Vendor table) = 10%
Discount 1 = $10.00 (unit discount)
Discount 2 = 20% (percentage discount)
Discount 3 = 10% (percentage discount)
Step 1: Calculate the primary discount percentage
primary discount (10%) x cost ($100.00) = unit discount amount for primary discount ($10.00)
Step 2: Subtract the primary discount amount from the cost primary discount
($10.00) - cost ($100.00) = cost after primary discount ($90.00)
Step 3: Calculate discount 2 percentage
discount 2 (20%) x cost ($90.00) / 100 = unit discount amount for discount 2 ($18.00)
Step 4: Calculate discount 3 percentage
discount 3 (10%) x cost ($90.00) / 100 = unit discount amount for discount 3 ($9.00)
Step 5: Add discount amounts 1, 2 and 3 together
discount 2 ($18.00) + discount 3 ($9.00) + discount 1 ($10.00) = combined discount ($37.00)
Step 6: Subtract the total combined discount amount from the cost
total combined discount ($37.00) - cost (90.00) = net cost ($53.00)
The tiered discount calculation method calculates:
• the largest discount against the item's gross cost, then
• the second largest discount is calculated against the net result of the first discount, then
• the third largest discount is calculated against the net result of the second discount
Any discount percentages defined for the discount fields are calculated before the unit discounts are applied.
Note: The Tiered Discount Calculation does not apply to drop ship purchase orders.
Example:
Cost of item = $100.00
Primary discount (defined in Vendor table) = 10%
Discount 1 = $10.00 (unit discount)
Discount 2 = 20% (percentage discount)
Discount 3 = 10% (percentage discount)
Step 1: Calculate the primary discount percentage
primary discount (10%) x cost ($100.00) = unit discount amount for primary discount ($10.00)
Step 2: Subtract the primary discount amount from the cost
primary discount ($10.00) - cost ($100.00) = cost after primary discount ($90.00)
Step 3: Calculate the largest discount percentage
discount 2 (20%) x cost (90.00) / 100 = largest discount amount ($18.00)
Step 4: Subtract the largest discount amount from cost
gross cost ($90.00) - largest discount ($18.00) = net of first calculation ($72.00)
Step 5: Calculate the 2nd largest discount amount from cost
discount 3 (10%) x net of first calculation ($72.00) / 100 = second largest discount amount ($7.20)
Step 6: Subtract the 2nd largest discount amount from cost
net of first calculation ($72.00) - second largest discount amount ($7.20) = net of second calculation ($64.80)
Step 7: Subtract the 3rd largest discount amount from cost
net of second calculation ($64.80) - third largest unit amount ($10.00) = net of third calculation ($54.80)
Work with Invoice Discounts Screen
Purpose: Use this screen to apply the same discount percentages to all items on the A/P invoice and update the discount percentages at the A/P invoice header level. Although you can change the discount percentage(s) that apply to the invoice total at the Work with A/P Invoices Screen (Entering A/P Invoice Header Information) (if the Enter Gross A/P Invoice Amount (F03) system control value is selected) or by selecting Update Amount to change the totals at the Work with Invoice Details screen, you cannot update the items on the invoice this way; you must either select Discount for an item to change its discounts, or use this screen.
When available? This option is available only if the Enter Gross A/P Invoice Amount (F03) system control value is selected; if this system control value is unselected, you must select Discount for an item and advance to the Work with Invoice Detail Discounts Screen to change the discount for each item individually.
Additionally, the discount(s) you enter at this screen will not be applied to any items whose costs you entered manually or changed on a purchase order or on the A/P invoice; the discount percentage will appear on the Display Receipt Details Screen and Display A/P Transaction Screen, but the unit discount applied will be zero.
How to display this screen: Select Discount at the Work with Invoice Details Screen.
Instructions:
1. Optionally, change the discounts to apply to the items. The discount(s) that currently apply to the invoice totals default.
2. Select Accept. You return to the Work with Invoice Details Screen. The new discount(s) have been applied to each item.
Create Unmatched Transactions Screen
Purpose: Use this screen to add an item or extra charge that did not appear on the matching purchase order to an A/P invoice.
How to display this screen: Select Add Unmatched at the Work with Invoice Details Screen.
Note: If you use batch invoice entry and later delete this invoice before you accept the batch, the transaction record will remain on the system. If you enter a new A/P invoice to match against the same purchase order, this transaction record will display.

Procedure |
Accept and add the transaction to the invoice |
Select Accept. |
Change Merch/Other Amount Window
Purpose: Use this window to change the totals on the A/P invoice from your entries on the Work with A/P Invoices Screen (Entering A/P Invoice Header Information).
This window provides you with an opportunity to adjust the amount of the A/P invoice from the detail screen after you have had a chance to review the individual A/P transactions. The merchandise and the other (sales tax, freight, etc.) amounts represent the entire payment to the vendor for the purchase.
Sample windows: This pop-up window displays differently depending upon the setting of the Enter Gross A/P Invoice Amount (F03) system control value. If this system control value is unselected, you cannot enter a gross merchandise amount or discounts. If this system control value is selected, you can enter a gross merchandise amount or discounts, but the merchandise total will be calculated by the system.
How to display this screen: Select Update Amount on the Work with Invoice Details Screen.
Completing this window: Enter the new values for any of the fields on this window. The total amount for the invoice changes to reflect your entries.
Like your entries on the Work with A/P Invoices Screen (Entering A/P Invoice Header Information), your entries in this pop-up window update invoice totals only and not the items on the invoice.
Accepting or Rejecting the Invoice
Purpose: Use the accept or reject functions on the Work with Invoice Details Screen to process or reject the A/P invoice.
To accept: Select Accept to accept the A/P invoice. The system:
• Verifies that the values in the Amount and Amt applied fields match. You cannot accept the A/P invoice if they do not.
• Returns you to a selection screen.
• If you use batching, the system:
• creates the invoice in a suspended status.
• puts each item that is fully included for payment on the invoice in an Unposted status, and partially included items in a Partially posted status. These items will be suspended from any further A/P activity until you accept or reject the batch containing the invoice, or delete the invoice from the batch. Items that were not included on the invoice remain open for additional activity.
• If you do not use batching, the system:
• adds a record to the A/P Check table and includes this posting on the Accounts Payable Due List. The invoice status will be either Open or Held.
• closes any items on the purchase order that were fully included on the invoice for payment.
• makes the appropriate postings to the general ledger related to A/P purchases. The system uses the Division, if any, specified for the warehouse for these postings; otherwise, it uses the Division you specified at the Enter A/P Invoices Screen (When Not Using Batching).
• increases the vendor's A/P total.
Also, if you selected to create an invoice charge back through this invoice:
• You advance to the Work with A/P Invoice Notes Screen, where you can enter additional information about the reason for the invoice charge back.
• The system creates the credit invoice.
To reject: Select Reject to reject the A/P invoice and then select OK at the reject-confirmation pop-up window. You return to a initial selection screen. The purchase order will be available for matching against another invoice.
