Understanding Voucher Processing
You must create a voucher before you can issue payment to your suppliers. Effective management of voucher processing is fundamental to your accounts payable department.
Voucher processing is one example of three-tier processing. All JD Edwards EnterpriseOne systems use three-tier processing to manage batches of transactions. The term three-tier refers to these standard steps:
Enter transactions.
Review and approve transactions for posting.
Post transactions to the general ledger.
This flowchart illustrates the three-tier process:
