Upload Voucher

Use this widget to upload vouchers to the general ledger through extension files.

You can configure this widget to define which FIM interfaces can be used, which fields are permitted as input, and whether the CSV file should be stored in Infor Document Management (IDM). Additionally, you can upload vouchers to multiple divisions using one CSV file.

The Upload to Voucher widget simplifies the process of uploading vouchers to the general ledger while reducing manual steps, for example, changing divisions between each upload and navigating to various programs.

Prerequisite

Configure this widget to assign interface templates to be used for the upload.

Limitations

  • We recommend uploading files that do not exceed 20,000 lines in the widget. Larger files can result in longer wait times and an increased risk of interruptions.
  • The widget displays a maximum of 100 erroneous rows. When exporting these rows, the limit is 10,000.
  • Refreshing the browser during the upload interrupts the process. This is an interactive job, and disruption leaves non-uploaded records in program (GLS840).
  • Keep your browser (Edge, Chrome, etc.) open during processing. Closing the browser window causes job interruptions. Performance may be affected by the settings for batch jobs if multiple divisions are running simultaneously.
  • The number of characters in each field in the file must match the character limit of the corresponding field.

Uploading vouchers

Use this procedure to upload voucher data, validate the uploaded file, update voucher records, and attach related documents. The widget shows a progress bar at the top where you can view all the activities in the upload process.

  1. On the Select file step, update the required file for upload.
    1. Select the interface to apply from the drop-down options. Selecting a template triggers the Download template (CSV) button next to Upload file.
    2. Click the Download template (CSV) button to retrieve the template that you will update. The file is saved on your local machine.
    3. Update the file based on the required values for each column and save the updated file.
    4. Click Upload file, browse to your updated CSV file, and click Open.
    5. Click Next.
  2. On the Upload step, validate the uploaded file.
    1. Specify this information:
      Key value
      This field uses the default primary key value assigned to your record.
      Description
      Provide a description for your record.
      Accounting date
      This field is enabled, which depends on the widget configuration. If enabled, specify a new accounting date.
    2. Click the browse icon to open the Details dialog. Verify the values of your uploaded file using the dialog view or optionally download the details to obtain a local copy. After verifying the details, click OK.

      If the character limit for one or more fields is exceeded, the dialog box shows the affected rows and fields, the character limit, the number of characters, and the field values received from the file.

    3. Verify the voucher entries from the uploaded file by reviewing the summary of voucher entries categorized by Division, including the record count, balance, and status.
    4. Click Next. The next activity might take time to load because the widget retrieves APIs from M3, particularly records from 'FIM Interface. Manage Transactions' (GLS840).
  3. On the Check and update step, the division shows the status. An updated status means that the vouchers are successfully uploaded to the general ledger in M3. If available, click Next to add other documents to IDM.

    You may verify if the voucher is added to M3. Check if it has an error in 'FIM Interface. Manage Transactions' (GLS840/B1).

  4. On the Add related document step, click upload files to attach related documents. Select a division from the Division drop-down as the category for your uploads. Check the related documents to connect to the voucher. Click OK.
