Working with A/P Invoice Entry (MAPE)
Purpose: Use A/P Invoice Entry to set up controls for an invoice, select the purchase order against which merchandise has been invoiced or create an invoice, and review the contents of a purchase order receipt.
Entering an invoice initiates aging on the system, and allows you to generate a check for the vendor.
Invoice upload: You can also use the A/P invoice upload to create invoices if you receive invoices from a remote system. See Working with A/P Invoice Upload Errors (WAPU) for an overview.

Purpose: This screen allows you to enter batch controls and represents the fields that display when the Batch Entry of A/P Invoices (F02) system control value is selected.

How to display this screen: Enter MAPE in the Fast path field at the top of any menu or select A/P Invoice Entry from a menu.
Field |
Description |
Date |
The date the invoices are posted in the system. The current date defaults, but you can override it. This date appears on the screens you use to work with a batch. Once you process the batch, this date is used to post to the General Ledger Interface table, and appears in A/P Inquiry as the Posted date and the Activity date for each invoice in the batch. Numeric, 6 positions; MMDDYY format, required. |
The code for the division against which the batch of invoices will post to the General Ledger Interface table. The G/L number for A/P purchases is defined in the Division record. If you are matching an A/P invoice to a purchase order and there is a Division specified for the warehouse where you received the purchase order, the system uses this division to post to the General Ledger Interface table instead. Division codes are defined in and validated against the Division table; see Working with Divisions (WDIV). Alphanumeric, 2 positions; required. |
|
The code for the bank against which the account transaction for these invoices will be performed. The bank code is important because the bank record includes the A/P Cash G/L number against which this purchase will be posted. Bank codes are defined in and validated against the Bank table; see Working with Banks (WBNK). Numeric, 3 positions; required. |
|
Note: At least one of the following fields is required. |
|
Total # invoices (Total number of invoices) |
The total number of invoices being entered in this batch. The system will not allow you to accept the batch if the Total # invoices value here does not match the number of invoices you actually enter. You can change A/P batch totals through the Work with A/P Invoice Batches Screen if you have proper authority. Numeric, 5 positions; optional. |
Total $ |
The total dollar value of the invoices being entered in this batch. The system will not allow you to accept the batch if the Total $ value here does not match the dollar total you actually enter. This dollar total includes both merchandise and “other” entries on an invoice. Also, if the Enter Gross A/P Invoice Amount (F03) system control value is selected, this total includes the gross merchandise totals from all invoices, not reduced by any discounts. You can change A/P batch totals through the Work with A/P Invoice Batches Screen if you have proper authority. Numeric, 11 positions with a 2-place decimal; optional. |
Total units |
The total number of units (of merchandise or other, such as an additional charge) associated with all invoices in this batch. The system will not allow you to accept the batch if the Total units value here does not match the number of units on all invoices in the batch. You can change A/P batch totals through the Work with A/P Invoice Batches Screen if you have proper authority. Numeric, 9 positions; optional. |
The sum of the vendor numbers associated with the A/P invoices in the batch. For example, if you are posting invoices for vendor numbers 100, 650, 35, and 62, you would enter 847 in this field. If the batch includes more than one invoice for the same vendor, you would multiply the vendor number by the number of invoices. You will not be allowed to accept the postings if these values do not match. You can change A/P batch totals through the Work with A/P Invoice Batches Screen if you have proper authority. If you are using the A/P invoice upload, the system populates this hash total when it creates a suspended batch. Each unique vendor number is included in the hash total just once, even if there are multiple invoices for the vendor. If there are any invoices in the batch in an open or closed status, those vendor numbers are not included in the hash total. See Working with A/P Invoice Upload Errors (WAPU) for an overview. Numeric, 9 positions; optional. |
|
The sum of the General Ledger numbers to which you are posting A/P invoices. For example, if you are posting invoices to General Ledger account numbers 10010100, 10020200, 10030300, and 10040400, you would enter 40101000 in this field. If you use the same G/L number on more than one invoice detail line, you would multiply the G/L number by the total number of detail lines. You can change A/P batch totals through the Work with A/P Invoice Batches Screen if you have proper authority. If you are using the A/P invoice upload, the system populates this hash total when it creates a suspended batch. The hash total does not include the general ledger number at the invoice header; detail lines only are included. If there are any invoices in the batch in an open or closed status, those general ledger numbers are not included in the hash total. See Working with A/P Invoice Upload Errors (WAPU) for an overview. Numeric, 10 positions; optional. |
