This section discusses:

  • The dependencies of the Voucher component on voucher style and other factors.

  • Voucher balancing.

The Dependencies of the Voucher Component on Voucher Style and Other Factors

The Voucher component looks and acts differently for each voucher style. It also displays different fields and provides different processing depending on:

  • Tax environment (SUT, VAT, Indian excise and customs duty, installed third-party tax applications, and so forth).

  • Your installation options (such as whether you are a U.S. Federal agency, for example).

  • Various processing and display options that you can select at each level of the PeopleSoft Payables control hierarchy.

For this reason, the description of the Voucher component that follows here includes page elements that you may not see or use for a particular voucher style or that you may not see or use in your implementation of PeopleSoft Payables. Whenever a page element has such dependencies, these are documented, except in the case of tax environment. The tax environment—whether VAT, SUT, Indian excise tax, sales tax, or customs duty—is usually reflected in the field labels themselves.

For discussions of specific voucher styles, see the topics that discuss those styles.

Voucher Balancing

The Voucher component has various functions that enable you to view and correct balance discrepancies. These include:

  • Displays of totals for separate voucher regions— lines, charges and taxes—enabling you to quickly identify the unbalanced area.

  • Calculate button: Located at the header level, this button enables you to perform on-demand balance calculations.

  • Highlighted fields: Displays out-of-balance information highlighted in red.

When the voucher is in balance, the system displays an amount of 0.00 in the Difference field.

This topic discusses three common out-of-balance scenarios:

  • The first scenario is a regular voucher with the header out of balance to the distribution lines.

    In this example, a regular voucher has a header total of 1,500.00 USD, but distribution lines totaling 1,505.00 USD. The system displays discrepancies between the header and the lines in the Difference field at the header level.

  • The next scenario is a regular voucher with the distribution lines out of balance to the invoice line.

    This regular voucher has a header total of 2,000.00 USD and an invoice line total of 2,000.00 USD, but the distribution lines total 2,002.00 USD. When the invoice lines and distribution lines are out of balance, the system displays the discrepancy in the Difference field.

  • The third scenario is a purchase order voucher with distributions that balance to the line, but the voucher has multiple lines that do not balance to the header.

    The purchase order voucher has a header total of 2,100.00 USD, but the invoice line total and the distribution lines total 500.00 USD. The Difference field at the header level displays the 1,600.00 USD discrepancy between the header amount and the lines amount. The Difference field at the invoice and distribution line level displays a 0.00 USD discrepancy between the merchandise amount and the distributed amount, but it appears highlighted in red, because the voucher is out of balance.

Accounting Tags increase data entry efficiency by reducing the number of keystrokes required to enter frequently used ChartField combinations. Accounting Tags are used when a transaction is created using a PeopleSoft Fluid page. For PeopleSoft Classic transaction pages, Accounting Tags can be used to populate ChartFields on transaction distribution lines, instead of using Speedcharts and speedtypes.

You choose to use Accounting Tags or SpeedCharts to distribute line amount on distribution lines. You also use the following components:

  • Tag Registration by Products: Determine if you want to use the Accounting Tags or use the SpeedCharts within your products, when you are using the PeopleSoft Classic.

  • Tag Groups: Restrict the use of Accounting Tags to selected transactions with your products. Tag groups valid for a particular transaction can be specified when a ChartField Display Template is specified for that transaction.

  • Assign Tag Groups: Associate tag groups to specific components, which results in having all the Accounting Tags made available within the component.

  • Accounting Tags: Set up distribution lines with the ChartField combinations pertinent to specific products, which saves you from entering frequently used ChartField combinations.

For a detailed understanding of setting up Accounting Tags, see the section Setting Up Accounting Tags

The Voucher component in PeopleSoft Payables uses deferred processing. If you are adding a new voucher, you can use the fields on the add search page for the component to prepopulate the new voucher and reduce the amount of prompting and editing that you need to do on the new voucher. Note also that:

  • The voucher style that you select on the add search page determines how the system displays, edits, and processes the voucher.

    The default voucher style is Regular Voucher.

    The selected voucher style also determines what nonmerchandise and tax-exempt fields appear on the add search page. These fields are Miscellaneous Amount, Freight Amount, Sales Tax Amount, Tax Exempt, and VAT Amount. The selected business unit determines whether the latter three fields appear.

    Important! When copying purchase order vouchers, do not enter gross, nonmerchandise, and tax-exempt amount information in the fields on the add search page. Be sure to use the Copy PO functionality on the Invoice Information page, which ensures that the system provides these amounts by default into the appropriate fields and creates the correct voucher lines.

  • The system prepopulates the control group on the add search page with the earliest assigned group for the business unit and user ID.

  • PeopleSoft Payables functionality performs duplicate invoice checking using the information that you add on the add search page.

    If the system finds any vouchers that appear to be duplicates, it issues a warning before you enter the Invoice Information page. It also performs duplicate invoice checking when you save a voucher. However, the more information that you enter on the add search page, the more likely you will catch a duplicate invoice before you create another duplicate voucher.

  • PeopleSoft Payables uses default information from the voucher origin table and information from other default levels to determine how the system processes the voucher.

    Each user who enters vouchers must be assigned to an active voucher origin. If the user is not assigned to a voucher origin or the voucher origin is inactive, the user cannot save the voucher. Also, you cannot change the voucher origin of a voucher after it is entered into the system.

  • The system automatically populates ChartField values that are defined at the supplier location level into the voucher distribution lines.

  • Entering the estimated number of invoice lines in the Estimated No. of Invoice Lines (estimated number of invoice lines) field enables you to enter lines on the Invoice Information page without repeatedly needing to click the Add button in the Invoice Lines scroll area.

    Any lines that you leave blank are automatically deleted when you save.

  • When you enter gross amount and nonmerchandise amount values on the add search page, the system supplies the difference by default on the first voucher line and distribution line.

Note: If you are adding a voucher, the Invoice Information page appears when you have entered data on the add search page and clicked Add. If you are accessing a voucher that already exists in the system, then the Voucher - Summary page appears when you have entered the search information and clicked Search.

Use the Invoice Information page (VCHR_EXPRESS1) to enter or view invoice information, including invoice header information, nonmerchandise charges, and voucher line and distribution information.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Invoice Information page for regular voucher style, add mode (1 of 2). You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Regular Vouchers Invoice Information

Note: If financial sanctions validation is enabled at the installation level, the system validates the supplier against financial sanctions lists upon saving the voucher. If financial sanctions validation is enabled at the bank level, no validation of the supplier is done during voucher processing unless you specify a bank for the remit supplier and the bank requires financial sanctions validation. The system updates the supplier's financial sanctions status on the Supplier Information component.

If the system determines that the supplier is a potential match to a financial sanctions list, the system displays a warning message that the supplier is currently under financial sanctions review. You can proceed with saving the voucher; however, the system does not allow payments to suppliers with a financial sanctions status of Review or Blocked.

See Understanding Financial Sanctions Validation.

  • Recycled Vouchers: Displays the total vouchers that are in a recycled status for this supplier and business unit combination.

Invoice Number

Enter the invoice number or some other control number from the voucher's supporting document. The system uses this number as a reference for duplicate invoice checking if you have selected it to be one of your match criteria.

Note: For evaluated receipt settlement (ERS) vouchers that were built by the Voucher Build process, the invoice number is appended with the ERS invoice sequence number suffix.

While creating a voucher for Federal G-Invoicing EZ invoice, enter the EZ number as the Invoice Number.

Invoice Date

Enter the date that appears on the invoice. Invoice Date is a mandatory field and is required even for incomplete vouchers.

Invoice Received

Displays the invoice receipt date.

Accounting Date

Displays the accounting control date, which is based on the settings that are defined in the PeopleSoft Payables default hierarchy. You can override it here on the voucher.

Changing this date also changes the VAT declaration date on the Invoice Header VAT Information page if the declaration point is Accounting Date.

Note: If Current Date is selected as the accounting date option in the PeopleSoft Payables hierarchy, and the current date is not in an open PeopleSoft General Ledger period, the system uses the first available date in an open PeopleSoft General Ledger period as the accounting date.

Tax Exempt

Select if you want to override the default sales and use tax setup for this voucher and make it exempt from taxation.

Print

Click to create the invoice in a PDF file format. The system opens a new window where you can view and print the invoice.

Click to perform on-demand balancing calculations and check whether the voucher is in or out of balance. The system displays an amount of 0.00 in the Difference field when the voucher is in balance.

Supplier and Name

Select the supplier by entering the supplier ID or short name.

After you press Tab to exit either field, the system retrieves and populates the voucher with the full supplier name, primary address, default location information, and payment terms. In addition, the system uses default information from the supplier table in conjunction with information from other default levels (business unit, origin, and control group) to determine how the system processes this voucher.

Note: If financial sanctions validation is enabled and the supplier has a financial sanctions status of Review or Blocked, the system displays a warning message that the supplier that is selected is currently under financial sanctions review. You can proceed with adding or updating the voucher for this supplier.

Location

Override the default location by selecting a new location. The supplier location controls much of the default voucher processing.

Address

Override the default address by selecting a new address.

Advanced Supplier Search

Click to search for suppliers using partial names and wildcard symbols.

Note: If you find that the referenced supplier does not exist on the supplier table and you want to add the supplier, you do not have to cancel the voucher on which you are working. Access the Supplier Search page by clicking the supplier link and then clicking the Add Supplier button. This takes you to the Supplier Information component, enabling you to add the supplier to the system. After saving the new supplier, close the newly opened browser session to return to the Supplier Search page. When you are back on the Supplier Search page, select the new supplier.

Control Group

Select a control group for the voucher if applicable. The default is the earliest assigned group for the business unit and user ID. If no groups are assigned for your user ID, the Group field does not appear.

Miscellaneous Freight, and Sales Tax

Enter any miscellaneous charge amount, freight amount, or sales tax amount. To allocate these charges at a more detailed level, click the icons next to these fields to access detail pages (the Miscellaneous Charges, Freight Charges, and Sales Tax Charges pages).

You should enter any amounts on the voucher page first before accessing the detail page. When you save the voucher, the system allocates the charges that you enter to the voucher lines based on the defaults that you set in the Procurement Control (BUS_UNIT_INTFC2) component for the PeopleSoft Payables business unit.

Note: If you override the default tax information on the Invoice Line Tax Information page and then change the sales tax amount in this field, the overridden tax information will revert to the default. Enter a tax amount here before you update any tax information on the Invoice Line Tax Information page.

If you are creating an amortization voucher with Value added tax (VAT), the VAT Recovery amount is posted to a separate account as the amount is recoverable. However, the VAT Non Recoverable amount will be charged to the Prepaid Asset account as the amount is non-recoverable and will be amortized.

See Entering Online Vouchers With VAT.

The Action Field

When you have finished entering your voucher and saved it, you have three options for processing your voucher:

  1. Perform budget-checking, matching, document tolerance checking, asset loading, posting, and journal generation on this and other vouchers in batch from the batch request pages for those processes.

  2. Process the voucher on demand, directly from the Invoice Information page, using the Action field.

  3. Process this and other vouchers in batch from the Voucher On-Demand Processes batch request page using on-demand process groups.

The first option is generally the most efficient, but the second option is useful when you must process a voucher immediately, on demand. The third option is convenient when you want to perform multiple sequential processes, such as matching, asset loading, voucher posting, and journal generation, on a batch of vouchers.

If you want to process a voucher on demand from the Invoice Information page:

  1. Save the voucher.

  2. Select an on-demand process group in the Action field.

  3. Click Run to initiate processing.

    While the voucher is being processed, the fields on the Voucher component are unavailable for entry. Click Refresh to view the processing status of the voucher on the Voucher Summary page.

The process groups that are available depend on whether you have on-demand processing enabled, your user ID, and whether your voucher requires the processing. If budget-checking isn't applicable to a voucher, for example, the Budget Checking process group will not be available. Process groups that may be available include:

  • Budget Checking (BUDGET_CHK).

  • Document Tolerance (DOC_TOL).

  • Matching (MATCHING).

  • Matching, Doc Tolerance, Budget Check (MTCH_DT_BC).

  • Voucher Post (PST_VCHR).

  • Journal Generate (PST_VCHRGL).

  • Voucher Post Load AM (POSTAPAM).

Invoice Lines

Use the Invoice Lines scroll area to enter information for each line on the invoice: the merchandise amount, unit price, quantity, and description. Initially, at least one line appears automatically; enter as many additional lines as needed (. The system assigns a line number to each voucher line that you add to ensure that each voucher line is unique.

Note: You cannot add more than one line while creating a voucher for Federal G-Invoicing EZ invoice.

Rebalancing and calculations are affected by deferred processing.

You cannot enter or adjust voucher lines after a voucher has been payment posted.

You cannot combine replacement type return-to-vendor (RTV) vouchers with credit or exchange type RTV vouchers (vouchers having credit and replacement type lines, or exchange and replacement type lines). Doing so causes match exceptions, because these differing voucher types are created with dissimilar statuses. The Voucher Build process builds replacement RTV debit memos with a To Be Matched status so that the Matching process correctly updates the matched amounts between the purchase order, the receiver, and the voucher. However, the system receives credit and exchange RTV vouchers that are already configured with a Matched status. They do not need to be run through the Matching process as their totals do not affect quantities that need to be matched.

If you change the value in the merchandise Extended Amount field, the Unit Price field is recalculated.

Note: Any changes in the extended amount will be reflected in the distribution. The system adjusts the distribution line that has the maximum distribution line number. If you reduce the amount below the original PO amount, then the only adjustment is to set the amount to zero on the distribution line that has the maximum distribution line number. In this case, you must still adjust the distribution amounts so that they tie back to the voucher line amount. In addition, any change to the merchandise amount will be accompanied by a corresponding change to unit price. If the original distribution method on the purchase order was quantity and you change the method to amount, then the distribution as well as the voucher line information remains unchanged. Even under the amount distribution method, the voucher line quantity should equal the sum of the distribution line quantity. If they are not equal, then an error message is issued.

Quantity: The system calculates the merchandise amount on the invoice lines and distribution lines based on the quantity and unit price. You must enter the quantity, unit price, and UOM. The Extended Amount field is not available for entry.

Select the Force Price option if you want to force the unit price based on the entered merchandise amount. This option is described subsequently.

Note: If you change voucher line quantity, the system does not adjust the distribution lines in response. Therefore, if you change the voucher line quantity, you must adjust the corresponding distribution level quantity. A validation exists to check whether the voucher line quantity is equal to the sum of distribution quantities. In addition, if you change the quantity on the copy worksheet (either PO or receiver), then the changed quantity is copied onto the voucher line, whereas the distribution still retains the original PO quantity. You should manually adjust the distribution quantity such that the sum of the distribution quantity equals the voucher line quantity. If the original distribution method on the purchase order was amount and if you change the method to quantity, then the system recalculates the distribution amounts using the quantity on the distribution line and the unit price on the voucher line. An option also exists of forcing the price that is available under this method. Selecting this option will force the system to calculate the price based on the extended amount. When you select this option, the unit price field is not available.

SpeedChart

Enter a SpeedChart or Accounting Tag value When you press Tab to move out of the edit box, prorated amounts and distribution ChartFields appear on the voucher distribution lines. If the SpeedChart was defined with no proration percentages, you must enter the distribution amounts yourself.

SpeedChart/Accounting Tag is not available on the reversal or prepaid voucher, as these voucher styles do not enable you to add voucher lines.

If the voucher style is not Prepaid or a Reversal and the Quick Invoice Template status is Complete, the SpeedChart/Accounting Tag field value on the Invoice Line and the Quick Invoice Line will be displayed as default. The default value is populated from the Supplier Location page.

See Defining SpeedCharts.

Note: The option of using SpeedCharts or Accounting Tags is determined by the configuration set up in the Tag Registration by Product component, applicable to PeopleSoft Classic.

See the section Setting Up Accounting Tags

Packing Slip

Work Order Resources

If the invoice line is for a Maintenance Management external resource, use these fields to enter the actual resource procurement cost. You then transfer the information back to Maintenance Management to help determine the actual cost.

These fields appear only if your organization has installed the Work Order component in PeopleSoft Maintenance Management. If the system populates these fields with data that is copied from a purchase order, you cannot edit the information.

Important! If you are creating a non-purchase order voucher for items that are already entered in the Inventory application, do not enter work order information here. Doing so creates a duplicate charge situation, because PeopleSoft Payables and Inventory individually send work order charges for the same item to Maintenance Management.

If you create new (that is, not already entered in Inventory) non-purchase order vouchers that are associated with a work order, you can choose to distribute the invoice line by quantity or amount, but you must specify values for the Quantity, UOM (unit of measure), and Unit Price fields on the related invoice lines.

Maintenance Work Order

Select the specific work order for the invoice line.

Task Number

Select a work order task for the invoice line. Available tasks depend on the selected maintenance work order.

Resource Type

Invoice Line VAT or VAT and Intrastat

Click to access the Invoice Line VAT Information page if you need to review and override the default VAT and Intrastat settings for the voucher line. The VAT and Intrastat link appears only on VAT-applicable adjustment vouchers.

Note: If your voucher is in a VAT environment and you do not enter any of the VAT pages for your voucher before saving it, the VAT default process is triggered automatically at save time.

See Invoice Line VAT Information Page.

Distribution Lines

For each voucher line that you enter, you must also enter the distribution information in the Distribution Lines grid. Each voucher line must have one or more distribution lines. You can select the Copy Down check box on a distribution line to copy that line's general ledger business unit and ChartField values to new distribution lines.

Note: You cannot enter or adjust distribution lines after a voucher has been payment posted.

You can enter project information on distribution lines, and the project information that you capture on vouchers is available to PeopleSoft Project Costing. By entering multiple distribution lines, you can add multiple project lines for each voucher line to categorize project costs. If you have implemented PeopleSoft Project Costing during installation and add project information to a distribution line, you need at minimum to add the project business unit, project ID, activity ID, and resource type. The other fields are optional. If you have not installed PeopleSoft Project Costing, you are not required to enter a project business unit.

Field or Control

Description

Copy Down

Select the check box on a distribution line and click the Insert Row button to copy that line's general ledger business unit and ChartField values to new distribution lines. If multiple distribution lines are selected, the system will issue a warning and arbitrarily select the ChartField values from one of the selected lines to populate the new lines. If no line is selected, only the default general ledger business unit will be populated.

Note: Selecting the Copy Down check box at distribution line is ignored during copy down from the voucher line.

PO Percent

This field appears only if the voucher was created by copying a purchase order into the voucher.

Percent

If the user removes distributions or reallocates the distribution amounts, the Percent column will update with the changes to reflect the actual percentage (Distribution Amount / Line Amount).

Note: This field appears only if the voucher was created by copying a purchase order into the voucher.

Merchandise Amt (merchandise amount)

Enter the amount that you want to charge to the ChartField values that follow. The total of all amounts that you enter on the distribution lines for a voucher line must equal the merchandise amount on the parent voucher line. An error message appears if an imbalance occurs.

Quantity

Enter the number of units purchased that should be associated with the distribution line. This field is required if you are distributing by quantity. It is optional if you are distributing by amount. If you have entered a quantity on the voucher line, the total of all quantities entered on the distribution lines for that voucher line must equal the quantity on the parent voucher line. If you are entering a voucher line for a fixed asset that you will send to PeopleSoft Asset Management, you must enter a quantity for the asset.

Approval History

Click the link to open the Approval History page and view the voucher approval details.

This field is available only when an eSettlements Voucher using AWE approvals has line level approval enabled and the distribution has been submitted to workflow.

See Approving Invoices Using Mobile Approvals

GL Unit (general ledger business unit)

Identifies the general ledger business unit that will be charged with the expense that is coded on the distribution line.

The default value is the general ledger business unit of the PeopleSoft Payables business unit under which the voucher is being entered. If you change the value to charge a different PeopleSoft General Ledger business unit, the system creates interunit accounting entries. This occurs during voucher and payment posting. In this case, ChartField validation occurs based on the ChartFields of the PeopleSoft General Ledger business unit.

Note: When you enter interunit vouchers on the Invoice Information page, the value for the Budget Status field on the Voucher Summary page changes from Valid to Not Budget Checked. You must run the budget checking process to reset the status to Valid to make the voucher eligible for posting during voucher post.

Entry Event

Enter the entry event code for the voucher if applicable. The system displays this field if you have enabled entry events.

See Processing Vouchers, Payments, and Cash Clearing Transactions with Entry Events.

See Understanding Entry Events in PeopleSoft Payables.

Account

Enter an account. When you save the voucher, the system validates the account that you enter along with any other ChartField values. If the account that you select has been set up as a statistical account, the Amount and Quantity fields on the invoice line become inactive and any values that you may have already entered are deleted.

If the Installation option is enabled, the Altacct (alternate account) field appears next to the Account field in the grid.

If you are creating an Amortization voucher, the account field is automatically populated with the account value entered on the Accounting Entry Template page against the Accounting Entry Type - Prepaid Asset Account.

OpenItem

If the account that you enter has been set up as an OpenItem account, you must enter an open item reference.

Select a reference by prompting. If you enter a reference for an account that is not an open item account, an error message appears when you attempt to save the voucher. You must remove the invalid reference before you can save the voucher.

See Using OpenItem Accounting in PeopleSoft Payables.

Project ID

Enter a project identifier. This field appears if you do not have PeopleSoft Project Costing installed on your database.

Budget Date

Displays the budget date of the distribution line if the Commitment Control feature is enabled. You define which field the system uses for the budget date on a voucher in the Source Transactions component when you set up the Commitment Control feature in PeopleSoft General Ledger. You can also specify at the installation options whether the default budget date is the accounting date of the voucher or of the predecessor document (purchase order).

Affiliate

If the supplier is an interunit supplier, this field is not editable and the affiliate code appears by default.

Exchange Rate Tab

Field or Control

Description

GL Unit (general ledger business unit) and Currency

Identifies the general ledger business unit that is charged with the expense that is coded on the distribution line, as well as the currency in which it will be charged.

Exchange Rate

Appears automatically based on the default rate type from the market rate tables. You can override this value on the Voucher Attributes page. This field appears only when the distribution general ledger business unit is different from the voucher's general ledger business unit, or when the voucher is saved.

Statistics Tab

This page displays statistical quantity information.

If you are distributing by quantity, you can distribute that quantity using a statistics code. The system converts the distribution line quantity from the distribution line UOM to the standard UOM that is associated with the Statistics Code field. The converted quantity is stored in the Statistic Amount field. The Statistic Amount and Unit of Measure fields are inactive.

If you enter a statistic account on a voucher line, you must refresh the page by clicking the Refresh button (access key: Alt+0) so that the merchandise amount and quantity fields on the invoice line are unavailable and blank. You must enter a statistic amount. You can enter the statistic amount in a UOM that is different from the standard UOM that is associated with the statistic account. After you enter the statistic amount, enter the corresponding UOM. The system converts the statistic amount that you enter back to the standard UOM that is associated with the statistic account. The Statistics Code field becomes unavailable for entry.

Whether you are using a statistic account or a statistics code, if the system cannot find a conversion formula between the two UOMs in the UOM conversion table, an error message appears. For example:

  • If you are using a statistic account, the system resets the UOM to the standard UOM for the account, and you must modify the Statistic Amount field manually so that it corresponds to the standard unit of measure.

  • If you are using a statistics code, the system does not calculate a statistic amount; you must delete the Statistic Code field value or enter another one.

Assets Tab

Field or Control

Description

Asset

Select to enter asset information for the distribution line. All the fields on this tab become active when you select the Asset check box.

Business Unit (PeopleSoft Asset Management business unit) and Profile ID

Enter a business unit and a profile ID to indicate that the distribution line is related to an asset. These fields are required.

Note: You cannot assign the same asset ID to different profile IDs.

After the voucher has been sent to PeopleSoft Asset Management, you cannot change the PeopleSoft Asset Management business unit or Profile ID fields unless you unpost the voucher.

Asset ID

Enter an asset ID. Otherwise, the field value NEXT appears by default. This value indicates that the next asset ID value in the PeopleSoft Asset Management system is assigned automatically. When you accept NEXT as the default, you can use the Sequence Number field to make more than one distribution line share the same automatically incremented asset ID.

The system validates that a unique asset ID has only one profile ID associated with it for a given voucher line.

Note: You cannot perform asset transfers in PeopleSoft Payables. You can make ChartField changes in PeopleSoft Payables, but you must also have your asset manager make a corresponding change in the appropriate PeopleSoft Asset Management page.

Sequence Number

If you have accepted the default asset ID value of NEXT, you can enter a sequence number to indicate an asset grouping of voucher distribution lines.

If the asset ID is NEXT, you can enter any numeric value in this field. The unique combination of NEXT in the Asset ID field and the sequence number that you enter here cause a unique asset ID to be generated when the information is processed by PeopleSoft Asset Management.

For example, if you have four distribution lines for assets that you want to assign to two separate asset IDs, you can specify an asset ID of NEXT and a sequence number of 1 for the first two lines and an asset ID of NEXT and a sequence number of 2 for the next two. Each group of two lines is assigned its own asset ID number.

Leave this field blank if you entered a known asset ID. If the asset ID is NEXT and the Sequence Number field is blank, the system generates a unique number.

If you selected the Use One Asset ID check box for the voucher line, the system populates the Asset ID field with NEXT and the Sequence Number field with 1 for each asset-applicable distribution line, and causes PeopleSoft Asset Management to assign all distribution lines to the same asset ID.

Cost Type

Select the cost type for the asset. Values are:

A: Allowance for ADV depreciation.

C: Cost type.

G: Grant reimbursements.

I: Impairment loss.

M: Margin.

P: Scrap on asset.

R: Revaluation.

S: Sale of assets.

V: Reserve for ADV depreciation.

W: Depreciation write-off.

X: Revaluation reversal.

Y: Impairment reversal.

TAS/BETC Tab

The TAS/BETC tab appears only if:

  • Federal payments are enabled, the voucher is using a Secure Payment System (SPS) payment format, and you are a GWA Reporter.  Or

  • The Non-Treasury Disbursed ALC check box is selected on the Agency Location Code tab, and the Reporter Category for the ALC associated with the voucher contains AP Payments.

The TAS value appears by default based upon the fund and in most cases the BETC code will also be displayed by default. If BETC does not appear by default, it will have to be manually selected from the BETC prompt list. For a non GWA Reporter, the fields will be hidden.

VAT Tab

This tab appears only for business units that are enabled for VAT.

Click the VAT link to access the Invoice Distribution Line VAT Information page if you need to review or update the VAT control settings for the distribution line.

Note: If your voucher is in a VAT environment and you do not enter any of the VAT pages for your voucher before saving it, the VAT default process is triggered automatically at save time.

See Voucher Distribution Line VAT Information Page.

Amortization Tab

This tab appears only if the Voucher Style is Amortization.

Field or Control

Description

Start and End Dates

Enter the start and end dates for the amortization schedule. These fields are mandatory at the time of posting the voucher. However, you can save the voucher without entering the dates using the Save for Later button and later return to update at the dates.

Amortization Type

Select an amortization type using the lookup prompt. The values available depend on the setup on the Amortization Template page. The Amortization Template used is determined based on the value defined on the Ledgers for a Unit page setup for a particular Ledger Type and Ledger Group.

Amortization ID

Displays the system generated ID after you save the voucher. This value is unique for a GL business unit.

Balancing

The system automatically enters default values that are entered for miscellaneous charges, freight charges, VAT, and taxes on the add search page into the appropriate fields. You can edit these amounts.

In addition, field display in this group box varies depending on add search page values that are entered. For example, when you use a Prepaid voucher style, the system disables the Misc Charge Amount (miscellaneous charge amount), Freight Amount, and Sales Tax Amount fields. And if you select a VAT-applicable business unit, the system enables VAT fields on the voucher.

Note: The system acts differently when calculating VAT depending on whether you are in the Add mode or the Update/Display mode. When you enter a VAT amount using the add search page, the system supplies the VAT line amount on the Invoice Information page, and if the amount is edited, correctly recalculates this amount. However, when you modify an existing voucher VAT amount using the Update/Display mode, the system does not recalculate the VAT line amount. Instead, it displays the difference between the header and line amounts in the Difference Amount field.

Use the Payment Terms page (VCHR_TERMS_EXP) to view or change the default payment and discount terms for the voucher.

Navigation:

Click the Transfer to Pay Terms Detail button on the Invoice Information page.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Payment Terms page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Payment Terms page

Field or Control

Description

Payment Terms ID

Controls how the voucher is paid, including the discount date and discount amount. PeopleSoft Payables supports both single and multipayment (installment) terms. You define payment terms on the Payment Terms - Multi Payment page or the Payment Terms - Single Payment page. The default setting on the voucher is based on the payment terms that are established for the supplier location for this voucher.

Multipayment terms generate multiple scheduled payment records when you save the voucher by allocating the total payment amount for the voucher over these scheduled payments, according to the percentages that are established in the terms definition.

With multipayment terms, you can also generate installment payment records (and review them and edit them, if necessary) in advance of committing them by saving the voucher. You can always edit the voucher immediately after saving, but this alternate method may offer more peace of mind.

Schedule Payments

Click the Schedule Payments icon to generate payment records in advance of saving the voucher. For multipayment terms, this prepopulates multiple schedule payment records (installments). For single payment terms, this calculates and supplies the net due date, the discount amount, and the discount due date if the terms are discount-applicable. You can also do this by clicking the Schedule Payment button on the Payments page.

Due Date Control

Either accept the default due dates, or enter user-specified amounts. Select from:

Terms: This is the default setting. When you select this value, the Basis Dt Type (basis date type) field is available for entry, but the Discount Due Date and Due Date fields are not. If the Due Date Control field is specified as Terms, then the scheduled due dates and net due dates are determined by the payment term specified.

User: When you select this value, the Discount Due Date and Due Date fields are available for entry and you can modify them. The Basis Dt Type field is unavailable for entry. If the Due Date Control field is set to User, then the date is derived from the Due Date field.

Basis Dt Type (basis date type)

Enter the date for the system to use to calculate the discount due date and payment due date for the voucher. This field controls the basis date on which the payment terms are based.

Values are:

Acct Date (account date): The accounting date determines the payment basis date.

Doc Date (document date): The date that the voucher is entered, which determines the payment basis date. If you select this value, the document date appears in the Basis Date field.

Inv Date (invoice date): The invoice date determines the payment basis date.

Recpt Date (receipt date): The receipt date determines the payment basis date.

Ship Date: The ship date determines the payment basis date.

User Date: The user-defined date that is entered in the Basis Date field determines the payment basis date.

Note: Just because you can select an alternate basis date source does not necessarily guarantee that the particular date is currently available for the voucher. For example, the receipt date and ship date values would typically be available only if the invoice had first been matched to the purchase order, the receiver, or both. If you select a basis date value for which no corresponding date value is populated, a warning appears asking whether you want to use the invoice date as the override basis date. If you select Yes, you can save the voucher and generate scheduled payment data. Until a voucher is posted or paid, you can always update the voucher for the intended basis date if it becomes available.

Basis Date

Displays the date used to calculate the discount due date and payment due date for the voucher. The system populates the date based on the basis date type. If the basis date type is User Date, this field is available and the system requires that you enter a date.

This basis date is not the same as the federal payment basis date on the Date Calculation page.

Discount Due Date

If you select User in the Due Date Control field, enter a discount due date.

Due Date

If you select User in the Due Date Control field, enter a due date.

Discount Amount Control

Accept the default discount amounts or enter user-specified amounts. Values are:

Terms: This is the default setting. When you select this value, the Account At field is available for entry but the Discount Amount field is not.

User: When you select this value, the Discount Amount field is available for entry and you can enter the amount for the discount in the Discount Amount field.

Account At

Determines whether the discount is accounted at gross or net. Values are:

Net: Any discounts not taken are accounted for as discounts lost.

Gross: Any discounts taken are accounted for as discounts earned.

Basis Amt (basis amount)

Displays the amount upon which the discount is calculated. This amount is the total of the merchandise amount for each line with the Apply Discount check box selected.

Discount Amount

If you select User in the Discount Amount Control field, enter a discount amount.

Apply Discount

Select to make individual voucher lines discount-applicable.

Note: Payment terms for a third-party voucher cannot include a discount. For third-party vouchers, the payment terms are supplied by default from the Prepay/Third/Claim Pay Terms option that is selected for the SetID on the Payables Options - Payment Options page.

Use the Miscellaneous Charges page (VCHR_MISC_SEC) to allocate the miscellaneous charges for the voucher at a more detailed level.

Navigation:

Enter a miscellaneous charge amount and click the Transfer to Misc Chrgs Detail (transfer to miscellaneous charges detail) button on the Invoice Information page.

Note: The fields on this and the other nonmerchandise charges detail pages (Freight Charges page, Sales Tax Charges page, and Use Tax Charges page) are similar. Rather than documenting all four pages, the Miscellaneous Charges page is documented as an example of these detail pages.

Use this page to allocate your miscellaneous charges to multiple charge codes. The total of the separate miscellaneous charges that you enter must equal the total miscellaneous amount that is entered on the Invoice Information page.

Note: You can add multiple charge codes on the freight and miscellaneous charges detail pages, but you can enter only one charge code on the sales tax and use tax detail pages.

Field or Control

Description

Prorate

The charge code appears based on the defaults that you have set on the Procurement Control - Non-Merch Charges page. If the default is to prorate the freight, the Prorate check box is selected. This field is unavailable for entry.

Charge Type

Select a charge code for each miscellaneous charge amount that you add. You define these codes on the Misc Charge/Landed Cost Defn page and set up the default charge codes for the PeopleSoft Payables business unit on the Procurement Control - Non-Merch Charges page.

If you select a nonprorate charge code, the system uses the allocation option that you selected on the Procurement Control - Non-Merch Charges page to either allocate the charge to the distribution line or expense it to the header.

Account and other ChartFields

If you add a prorated charge code, no ChartFields appear on this page.

If you add a nonprorated charge code and allocate the charge, the system requires an account. The value appears by default from the Accounting Entry Template. You can override the account.

If you are expensing, the account and other ChartField values appear by default based on the inheritance rules. You cannot modify balanced ChartFields.

Use the Non Merchandise Charges Summary Information page (VCHR_LINE_MISC_CHG) to view the miscellaneous amounts that are allocated to each voucher line.

Click to access the Invoice Line Tax Information page to review detailed tax information for this voucher line.

SUT Apply (apply sales and use tax)

Indicates the tax that applies to the tax destination. Values are:

Direct Pay: Select if you do not want sales tax calculated. The system treats a direct pay line as a use tax line, except that it uses a different value for tax applicability.

Item is Exempt: Select if the line is exempt from sales and use tax.

Purchaser is Exonerated: Select if the purchaser does not have to pay sales or use tax.

Sales Tax Appl (sales tax applicable): Select to calculate and apply sales tax to the line. Enter the gross sales tax amount on the voucher header.

Use Tax Appl (use tax applicable): Select to calculate and apply use tax to the line. Do not enter the tax amount on the voucher header.

Ultimate Use Code

Enter an ultimate use code to override the default tax rate for a line.

Tax Code SUT (sales and use tax code)

Enter the tax code for the line. A tax code consists of a group of tax authorities. For example, if a certain locality has a city tax, county tax, and state tax, you can create three tax authorities and group them into a single tax code.

Tax Parameters

Fields displayed when you select the Tax Parameters tab are discussed in detail in the following section.

Use the Invoice Line Tax Information page (VCHR_LINE_TAX) to review and, if applicable, override tax settings for the voucher line.

Navigation:

Click the Sales/Use Tax link in the Invoice Lines group box on the Invoice Information page.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Invoice Line Tax Information page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Invoice Line Tax Information page

Similar to the Sales/Use Tax Summary page, the fields on this page display values that are passed to the voucher line through the PeopleSoft Payables default hierarchy. If the voucher was created by copying a purchase order, purchase order values override the PeopleSoft Payables default hierarchy, so the voucher inherits sales and use tax data from the purchase order. When you create a new voucher, all of the fields on this page can be overridden for the voucher line.

This page includes different fields from those described here if you have installed and enabled a third-party tax application, such as Taxware or Vertex.

See Managing Voucher Line Tax Information with Taxware and Vertex.

Field or Control

Description

Sales/Use Tax Destination

Indicates the location for which a sales or use tax is applicable. This value is defined as a ship to location, but it does not have to be the same as the ship to location that is defined in the PeopleSoft Payables control hierarchy.

Sales/Use Tax Applicability

Indicates the tax that applies to the tax destination. Values are:

Direct Pay: The system handles a direct pay line as a use tax line, except that it uses a different value for tax applicability.

Exempt: The line is exempt from sales tax.

Exonerated: The purchaser is exonerated from sales tax.

Sales Tax: Apply sales tax. Enter the gross sales tax amount on the voucher header.

Note: If you copy a single purchase order line that has use tax applicability, and you enter sales tax on the voucher header, the system automatically changes the tax applicability for that voucher line to sales tax.

Use Tax: Apply use tax. Do not enter the tax amount on the voucher header.

Note: If you copy purchase order lines with sales tax applicability, and you do not enter sales tax on the voucher header, the system automatically changes the tax applicability for those voucher lines to use tax.

Ultimate Use Code

Enter a code to override the default tax rate that is based on the ship to location. This field is available for entry only if an ultimate use code is defined for the ship to location on the Ship To Sales/Use Tax Default page.

See Ultimate Use Codes Page.

Tax Code SUT (sales and use tax code)

Enter the tax code that applies to this voucher line. A tax code consists of a group of tax authorities. The tax code that is supplied by default here depends on a number of factors.

See Understanding PeopleSoft-Only Sales and Use Tax Processing.

Include Misc Charges (include miscellaneous charges)

Select to indicate that any additional charges must be taxed and added to the net-extended amount before the system calculates SUT.
