Note: Vouchers that fall within a closed accounting period will not be listed in the Voucher ID field when the Post Voucher option is selected. Furthermore, the Voucher Posting process will not process any vouchers that fall within a closed accounting period.

Initiate Entry Event Generator

Select this check box to run the Entry Events Application Engine process (FS_EVENTGEN) for the vouchers being posted. This field appears only if you have enabled entry events (as either required or optional) at the installation options level.

Prepayment Application Method

Indicate which supplier the system should use when applying prepaid vouchers to regular vouchers. Values are:

Invoicing Supplier: The system performs application based on the invoicing supplier of the prepaid and regular voucher. This is the default value.

Remit Supplier: The system performs application based on the remit supplier of the prepaid and regular voucher.

Autopilot Run Control

Select this check box to enable this run control ID and settings to use the Autopilot feature.

See Understanding Autopilot.

Note: The exact procedure for running a process on a server depends on the type of server that you are using and your organization's standards. For example, if you are running PeopleSoft Payables in a DB2 environment, you or your mainframe administrator submits JCL to initiate the program. If you do initiate the posting program from the server, the program retrieves its processing options from the Voucher Posting Run Control record that you already set up in the online pages.
