Entering an invoice for a detail-level match

A detail-level match invoice compares the invoice line details against the receipt line details. Use this procedure to enter an invoice for a detail-level match.

  1. Access one of these forms, based on which kind of invoice you are entering.
    If most of your invoices are Then use
    Basic Basic Invoice (AP20.1)
    Taxed Taxed Invoice (AP20.2)
  2. Define required information in the header area and on the tabs. Use these guidelines to specify the field values:
    Company

    Select your Invoice Matching company number.

    Process Level

    Select your process level, if it is not set up to default.

    Post Date

    Specify the date that you want to post the transaction in the general ledger.

    Voucher

    Specify a voucher number if required by your handling code. The Voucher field is in the header area.

    Vendor

    If you are specifying a purchase order number, then you can leave the Vendor field blank and it will default from the purchase order.

    PO

    Specify a purchase order number.

    If your invoice references multiple purchase orders, then specify an asterisk (*). In this case, the vendor would be set up to use pool option 1 (Company / Vendor).

    Invoice

    You must specify an invoice number. The invoice number must be unique for the company and vendor.

    Inv Date

    You must specify an invoice date. The invoice date can be the date the vendor created the invoice or the date the invoice was received.

    Note: The date the invoice was received can be specified on the Discount button.
    Handling Code

    Select the handling code setup for a match invoice, if it is not set up to default.

    Due Date

    You must make an entry in the Due Date field or the Pmt Terms field. If you use a payment term, then the due date cannot be entered. If you have defined terms codes on Vendor Location (AP10.2), then the Remit-To location terms will not default to the invoice. Terms codes will default from the Purchase From location.

    Pmt Terms

    Specify or select a valid payment terms code for the invoice to have the application calculate due date and discount information for the invoice. If left blank, then the payment terms code assigned to the purchase from location or vendor, if assigned, is set as default.

    If you use a payment terms code, then leave the Due Date, Discount Amount, Discount Rate, Allowable, and Discount Date fields blank.

    Invoice Amount

    You must specify the invoice amount.

  3. Define matching and currency options using the Misc tab.

    Use these guidelines to specify the field values:

    Ship To

    Required (if you are using pool option 3). Select the ship-to location.

    Return Number

    If the goods associated with the invoice were returned, then specify the return number assigned to the invoice.

    Match Reference

    A user-defined number for linking an invoice to a specific receipt in the match process.

    If the vendor uses match reference processing, then specify the match reference number on the Misc tab. Match reference processing for a vendor must be set up prior to invoice entry.

    Currency

    The currency assigned to the invoice.

    Exchange Rate

    The exchange rate used to convert non-base currency amounts to company base currency.

    Revalue

    Decide whether to revalue the invoice currency against the company base currency when the invoice is paid (to account for the fluctuation in exchange rates).

  4. Specify the optional information. See the Accounts Payable User Guide for additional details.
