Voucher Authorization

If you select this field, as voucher records are created, the system automatically attaches a status to each voucher as follows:

• Matched vouchers that were originally created in Purchasing where the unit material cost at receipt for each purchase order line matched is either identical to that on the voucher or within the user-specified tolerance factor. If the voucher is within the tolerance factor, the operator can then update the unit price information so that amounts are fully distributed and the voucher is matched.
• Authorized vouchers that were originally Failed or Matched, that have been subsequently cleared for payment and their status amended by the authorization routine.
• Failed vouchers that were originally created in Purchasing where the unit material cost of at least one purchase order line at receipt is different from that on the voucher or outside the user-specified tolerance.

Tolerance factors allow added flexibility when matching vouchers. Use the Voucher Tolerance Over and Voucher Tolerance Under fields to set the tolerance factor criteria.
