Voucher Information for DBAs

After you activate accounts payable integration for DBAs, you must set up voucher information for each DBA for which you want to create vouchers. You set up voucher information when you set up a DBA. Then, when you assign the DBA to a group plan or an individual employee, you must specify whether the system will create a voucher for the DBA for that group plan or employee.

Because you can enter voucher information at the group plan or employee level, you can assign the same DBA to multiple group plans and create vouchers regardless of whether the payees for those plans vary. You can also create vouchers for some plans and not for others.

You can specify payees for vouchers at the DBA, group plan, and employee level. This table describes the situations in which you would specify a payee at each level:

Level

Usage

DBA

When most or all of the companies in the organization remit payment for a DBA to the same institution, entering the payee at the DBA level is more efficient.

Group Plan

When the organization uses group plans to determine the DBAs for which employees are eligible, you can enter a payee for a group plan. The payee that you enter at the group plan level overrides any payee that you entered at the DBA level.

Employee

If a particular employee remits payment for a DBA to a payee other than the one that is specified at the DBA or group plan level, you can enter a payee at the employee level. For example, for a wage attachment DBA, each employee might have a different payee. The payee that you enter at the employee level overrides any payee that you entered at the group plan or DBA level.

If you do not specify a payee at some level (DBA, group plan, or employee), the Payroll Journal Proof/Edit report (R05229) generates a general error message indicating that an error exists in one of the voucher records. You need to review the F07490 records to determine what is causing the error.

For the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Payroll system to create vouchers for DBAs, you must activate vouchering for the DBAs. The system creates vouchers only for the DBAs for which you have activated vouchering. You must activate vouchering at the DBA level before you can enter voucher information for group plans or individual employees.

When you set up vouchering for a DBA, you can specify a payee in the DBA setup. Typically, you enter a payee at the DBA level when most or all employees, including those who are included in group plans, remit payments to the same institution. You can override this payee at the group plan or employee level if necessary. If you enter all payees at the group plan or employee level, you do not need to enter a payee in the DBA setup.

If you have already set up DBAs, but you did not activate vouchering at that time, do so now. If you have not yet set up DBAs, complete the task for setting up essential DBA information.
