Open the Voucher Maintenance form.

Click the filter toolbar button.

Select a Voucher Type. Some values on the form are filled with default values, based on the voucher type. This default information is defined in the Voucher Type Maintenance and Voucher Type Relationship Maintenance forms.

Specify or review these fields in the header section of the form:

Prefix No: This number is determined by the voucher type.
Voucher No: This number is system-generated based on the selected voucher type and is incremented by one from the last number used for this prefix.

User: After voucher entry is complete, the name of the user who is responsible for the currently selected voucher is displayed.
Appendix: Specify the number of attachments.
Reverse: Select this check box if you are entering a reversing transaction. A reversing transaction is usually used for an accrual type transaction. For example, when the pay period extends across a fiscal period, you must enter a transaction for the partial pay period in order to produce an accurate figure for the fiscal period. When this check box is selected, this transaction is posted to the ledger at posting time and a transaction similar to it is also posted, but the transaction amounts are reversed. For example, a debit becomes a credit.
Rubric: Select this check box to indicate that the debit amount value is a negative credit amount, and the credit amount value is a negative debit amount. No validation is performed, but positive amounts show as debits and negative amounts show as credits in posting procedures and Chinese financial reports.
Doc No: Specify the document number, if necessary.
