Modification [M]

This allows you to add lines to a previous document, change the amounts on existing lines (not codes), or cancel a line (decrease a line amount to zero). To change codes in an existing line, you must cancel that line and reenter a new line. You can record both these lines on the same document by entering Modification [M] .

Document Total

Required. Enter the net amount of all lines on the document, not including tax if the tax codes used on the document are U (use tax) on Tax Code (TAXT). To compute this amount:

1. Add all the increase amounts.

2. Add all the decrease amounts.

3. Subtract the smaller of these amounts from the larger.

4. If the tax codes used are marked U (use tax) on Tax Code (TAXT), add together all the adjustment amounts on the lines (pay attention to signs) and subtract that amount from the result of #3

5. Enter that amount.

Vendor Code

Conditional. Required on vouchers for outside vendors if your installation requires vendor codes (for example, if Vendor/Commodity Control on System Control Options (SOPT) is Both Controls in Effect [Y] .) Leave blank on internal vouchers. Enter the code for the vendor you want paid as a result of this document. See Vendor Index (VEND) for valid values. Note: Vendor Code cannot be Miscellaneous if the Object Code is 1099 reportable.

Vendor Address

(no label)

Required on vouchers for outside vendors when vendor code is blank or if a miscellaneous vendor code is used. Enter the address you want printed on checks. Otherwise, the address for checks is inferred from Vendor (VEN2).

Payment Options

Single Check

Defaults to Default [blank] . Only specify a choice here if a vendor elects to receive payments in a different manner than already specified on Vendor (VEN2).

Select Yes [Y] if you want a separate check printed specifically for this voucher. If No [N] is selected, the system adds this voucher's amounts together with other vouchers for the same vendor (by check category) to obtain a combined voucher check amount. On a modification document, select No Change .

Check Category

Optional. This field specifies the category that this check voucher is printed under. Vouchers are summed by vendor and check category. The use of check categories is optional. See Check Category (CCAT) for valid values.

EFT

Defaults to Default [blank] . Required if you want the current payment voucher paid by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). Select Yes [Y] and enter a valid application type to select this voucher for electronic funds payment. If Default [blank] is selected, this field defaults to Yes [Y] when EFT Status is Active [A] on Vendor (VEN2); otherwise, this field defaults to No [N] .

When the vendor is eligible for electronic funds transfer, this field is inferred from the referenced Vendor Invoice (VI) as long as EFT is set to Yes [Y] on all of the invoices referencing this payment voucher.

If EFT is not set to Yes [Y] on any of the related Vendor Invoice (VI) documents or one or more payment voucher lines do not reference Vendor Invoice (VI) documents, you must manually set EFT to Yes [Y] on this document. When entering internal vouchers, select Default [blank] in this field.

Application Type

Conditional. Required if EFT is set to Yes [Y] . The application type is a two-character code representing the intended application, or use, of the funds being electronically transferred. See Electronic Funds Transfer Application Type (EFTA) for valid values.

When blank and EFT is set to Yes [Y] , the application type is automatically taken from the referenced Vendor Invoice (VI), as long as the application types on all of the Vendor Invoice (VI) documents referenced on this payment voucher are the same.

If EFT is set to Yes [Y] and there are no Vendor Invoice (VI) documents to take the application type from, the application type infers from Electronic Funds Transfer (1 of 2) (EFTT). Otherwise, the user must supply this field.

Scheduled Pay Date

Default automatically assigns a date according to the following rules:

If Vendor (VEN2) has a value recorded in Scheduled Payment Day for this document's vendor, that value is used. The payment day is the day of the month when you want to pay this vendor. The system assigns the payment date using this day and the current month, or, if the resulting date has already passed, the next month.

 

The System Payment Lag on System Control Options (SOPT) is used when no other date or payment day is specified. The payment lag is the number of days from the voucher date when you want to issue payment.

 

When both Scheduled Payment Day on Vendor (VEN2) and System Payment Lag on System Control Options (SOPT) are blank, the system date will be used.

Applies only to vouchers for outside vendors. Enter the date when you want the check for this payment voucher issued, if you want to override the system computed date.

  • You can change scheduled payment dates on payment voucher modifying transactions or through Payment Voucher Scheduling (SCHD). For further details, see the discussion of Automated Disbursements in the User's Guide .
