Task 04 - Applying A/P Credits

This allows a credit memo to be dispersed/applied against open vouchers.

  1. The credits that are applied are erased from the A/P Open Items File. Nothing is done to the Voucher History.
  2. If both the voucher and the credit have document dates in the same month, go ahead and apply the credit to the voucher.
  3. If the voucher and credit have document dates in different months, then wait until the current month is closed and balanced before applying the credit to the voucher….otherwise you will not balance at month-end, because as stated in #1, the credit is erased from the A/P Open Items file once it is applied.
  4. Up to 250 vouchers may be applied for one vendor. List 10 vouchers and then 10 more and 10 more, etc. until a total of 250 are reached.
  5. The balance of the vouchers that are applied to each other must be zero.

          • If the answer to "Cancel the List?" is Y for YES, all the vouchers that were typed in to apply to each other will disappear off the screen.
        • If the answer is Y for YES to "Accept above entries", and the balance is zero, the cursor will go to "Please enter Vendor #:" Now you can apply vouchers/credits for another vendor.
        • If the answer is Y for YES to "Accept above entries", and the balance is not zero, then the message will appear, "Total does not balance to zero CR to recover". When CR (Enter) is pressed, the cursor then goes back to"COMMAND:".
