The Header and Detail Areas of a Voucher

Typically, you enter information in the header area of a voucher and then move to the detail area. Certain information, such as payment terms, is associated with the supplier master record and automatically completed by the system in the detail and header areas.

If you move your cursor to the detail area of a voucher and then determine that you need to change either the supplier number or the company number, you can return to the header area if you have not entered any information in the detail area. Information that is associated with the supplier number or the company number in the supplier master record or the company master record will refresh in the header area and the detail area.

When you enter information in the detail area, such as an amount in the Gross Amount field, the header information is locked and you cannot make any changes. If you determine that header information is incorrect before completing the voucher, you can cancel the transaction and begin again.
