Payables Unaccounted Transactions and Sweep Report

Identify and review all unaccounted invoice and payment transactions and the reasons why they can't be accounted. You can also specify to sweep unaccounted transactions to another period.

You can run this report from the Scheduled Processes work area.

Before running this report:

  • Validate invoices to reduce the number of unvalidated invoices on the report.

  • Create payables accounting entries. The report then shows only problem transactions that couldn't be accounted. You can correct the problems, and resubmit the create accounting process.

  • If you use bills payables, submit the Update Matured Bills Payable Status process. The process updates the status of any bills payable with a maturity date on or before today's date.

Exception

Description

Distribution combination invalid

The distribution combination on the invoice isn't valid.

Distribution variance

The total of the invoice distributions doesn't equal the invoice amount.

Other hold names

The invoice has a hold that prevents accounting.

No rate

The payment doesn't have a conversion rate.

Not validated

The invoice or distribution line isn't validated.

Unaccounted

The invoice or distribution line is unaccounted.

Withholding tax

The invoice distribution has a withholding tax group and tax can't be withheld, so a withholding tax hold was applied to the invoice. Several conditions can cause this hold including the following:

  • The withholding tax group is inactive.

  • A withholding tax code within the withholding tax group is inactive.

  • An account segment assigned to the withholding tax code is invalid.

  • A rate isn't defined for the withholding tax code.

  • A period isn't defined for the withholding tax code.

  • A tax rate for the withholding tax code is defined with an invalid date range.

Note: The report excludes invoices without distributions.
