Bills and Adjustments

Form ID: (AP301000)

You use this form to enter vendor documents—including landed cost bills, adjustments, and prepayments—and to view the details of existing documents.

For each vendor invoice (which is an AP bill in the system), adjustment, or prepayment request, an AP document of the appropriate type is created; it includes information about the vendor and the vendor's original document, such as the reference number of the original vendor invoice or memo. Also, you can associate bills with the purchase orders used to order goods and with the purchase receipts issued to confirm the receipt of ordered goods.

You can edit bills, adjustments, and prepayments until they have been released.

Element Description
Type

The type of the document.

The following types are available:

  • Bill: The current document represents an invoice issued by the vendor (or service provider) for goods sold or services provided. For details, see Processing AP Bills.
  • Credit Adj.: The current document has been entered for a vendor document that adjusts the credit amount in a previous document (or multiple documents). For details, see Processing Debit and Credit Adjustments

Reference Nbr.

The number that identifies the AP document in the system, as generated by the system according to the numbering sequence assigned to documents of this type on the Accounts Payable Preferences (AP101000) form.

For a new document, this box contains an alphanumeric string that indicates that a new number will be generated.

Status

A read-only box that shows the status of the AP document, which was assigned by the system.

The value can be one of the following:

  • On Hold: The document is a draft; it can be edited but cannot be released. This is the default status for new documents if at least one of the following conditions is met:

    If you click Remove Hold when you finish editing the document, the document's status changes to Balanced.

  • Balanced: The credit and debit totals are equal for the newly created AP document. The document is assigned this status when it is taken off hold (if no approval is required) or when it is approved (if approval is required).

    This status is assigned to new documents automatically if the Hold Documents on Entry check box is cleared on the Accounts Payable Preferences form.

  • Pre-Released: The entered and released document requires expense reclassification.

    This status is assigned only if the Expense Reclassification feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

  • Scheduled: The document was attached to a schedule. Scheduled documents are used as templates for generating similar documents, with the dates calculated according to the schedule settings. A document can be scheduled if its status is Balanced.
  • Voided: The document is no longer used for generating recurring transactions. The system changes the document's status from Scheduled to Voided when a user has removed the document from the table on the Document List tab of the Recurring Transactions form. Also, the system changes the document's status from Pre-Released to Voided when a user has voided a document.
  • Pending Approval: The document needs to be approved by responsible approvers, who are assigned according to the approval map specified on the Approval tab of the Accounts Payable Preferences form.

    This status is available only if the Approval Workflow feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form and approvals have been activated (and an approval map has been specified) for the document type on the Approval tab of the Accounts Payable Preferences form.

  • Rejected: The document has been rejected by at least one assigned approver. You can delete a document with this status or click the Hold button or command, edit the document, and submit it for the approval.

    This status is available only if the Approval Workflow feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form and approvals have been activated (and an approval map has been specified) for the document type on the Approval tab of the Accounts Payable Preferences form.

  • Under Reclassification: The document needs to be corrected. The document is assigned this status when you click the Reclassify Bill command.

    To release a document with this status, the user must have the Financial Supervisor role assigned to it on the Users (SM201010) form.

  • Open: The document has been released and cannot be edited. As payments are applied to the document, its balance decreases.
  • Closed: The document has a balance equal to 0.
Date

The date of the document; by default, it is the current date, which can be changed. The date is used by the system to determine a posting period.

You can enter only a date that corresponds to a financial period that has been generated on the Master Financial Calendar (GL201000) form. If the date that you enter belongs to a financial period that has not yet been generated in the system—for example, for a date in the distant future or past—the system will display an error message, and you will not be able to save the document.

Post Period

This box is available only if the Invoice Rounding feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form or if the tax amount was edited for the tax-inclusive item or items. For details, see Purchases with Sales Taxes: Tax Amount Validation.

If the Invoice Rounding feature is not enabled, this box shows only the tax amount discrepancy (that is, the difference between the tax amount calculated by the system and the tax amounts entered by a user manually for the tax-inclusive items).

For details, see To Set Up Document Amount Rounding.

Amount

The amount of the document after taxes and discounts.

If the Validate Document Totals on Entry check box is selected on the Accounts Payable Preferences form, a user enters this amount manually, and it should be equal to the sum of amounts in the Amount column of the Details tab (which is displayed in the Detail Total box) minus the total amount of group and document discounts (which is displayed in the Discount Total box) plus the total amount of exclusive taxes. If the Validate Document Totals on Entry check box is cleared, this amount is calculated by the system and displayed only for released documents.

Note: To use the validation function, you must have the Gross or Net Entry Mode feature enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.
Cash Discount

The cash discount amount that has been or will be taken on the document, which the system calculates based on the specified credit terms. If a document has the On Hold or Balanced status, you can change the amount of the calculated cash discount.

If you change the cash discount amount, the system recalculates the taxable and tax amounts of the document if the applied taxes have Calculation Rule set to Exclusive Line-Level or Exclusive Document-Level and Cash Discount set to Reduces Taxable Amount on the Taxes (TX205000) form.

Changes you make to the cash discount amount do not affect the taxable and tax amounts of the document if the applied taxes have Calculation Rule set to Inclusive Line-Level and Cash Discount set to Reduces Taxable Amount on the Taxes form.

If the Payment Application by Line feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form, taxes with the VAT type for which the Cash Discount box on the Taxes form is set to Reduces Taxable Amount on Early Payment are not supported. In this case, the system displays an error message in this box.

If Canada is selected in the Localization box on the Companies (CS101500) form for the selected company, the Canadian cash discount calculation will be applied to the documents originating from this company and its branches. If you change the originating branch of the document in the Branch box on the Financial tab, the cash discount will be automatically recalculated by the system.

Details Tab

The information on this tab summarizes details about the document. The original vendor bill may be a multiline document, including multiple types of goods sold or services provided—that is, multiple transactions. An AP document may contain line items or one summary line; follow your company's internal agreements on entering documents. If taxes are calculated for each item, the document should have all the details available in the original document.

Note: You can attach a file with a supporting document to each document line.

This tab is not available for editing if the document is a reversing debit adjustment for a bill to a tax agency that uses a foreign currency—that is, a tax agency for which a foreign currency is specified in the Currency ID box on the Vendors (AP303000) form.

By default, the system fills in this column with the value specified in the Default Retainage Percent box on the Retainage tab of the form; you can override this value.

This column appears on the form only if the Apply Retainage check box is selected in the Summary area of the form.

Cash Discount Balance

The balance of the cash discounts applied to the selected document or document line.

If the bill or debit adjustment has lines with a negative amount, the cash discount amount will also be negative. For the document to be released, the total cash discount shown in the Cash Discount box in the Summary area must be greater than or equal to 0.00.

Retainage Amount

This column appears on the form only if the Apply Retainage check box is selected in the Summary area of the form.

Prepayment Percent

The percent that is applied to the non-discounted extended cost of the line to calculate the amount to be prepaid for the line. This column appears on the form only if Prepayment is selected in the Type box in the Summary area of the form.

The system initially fills in this column with a default prepayment percentage that it copies from another source, but you can override this value. For detailed description of sources of default prepayment percent, see Prepayments for Purchase Orders: Calculation of the Prepayment Amount.

This column appears on the form only if Prepayment is selected in the Type box in the Summary area of the form.

Prepayment Amount

The amount to be prepaid for the line. The system calculates this amount by first subtracting the amount in the Discount Amount column from the amount in the Ext. Cost column, and then applying the prepayment percent to that subtotal.

This column appears on the form only if Prepayment is selected in the Type box in the Summary area of the form.

Amount

The total amount the system has calculated for the specified quantity of items or services of this type. This system applies any specified discount and subtracts the specified retained amount.

By default, it is the account associated with the vendor location. If an employee is selected as a vendor for the bill, it is the expense account specified on the Employees (EP203000) form for the employee. You can select another account for non-stock items.

If the Project Accounting feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form, the project is selected in the bill line, and the bill line is linked to a subcontract line, the specified account must be mapped to an account group.

For an intercompany document that has the Bill, Debit Adj., or Credit Adj. type, if this is a manually added line with a non-stock item for which the Accrue Cost check box is cleared on the Price/Cost tab of the Non-Stock Items (IN202000) form or a line with no item specified, the system inserts the expense account it copies from the following source, based on the option selected in the Use Intercompany Expense Account From box on the Accounts Payable Preferences (AP101000) form:

  • If Vendor Location is selected, the expense account specified in the Expense Account box on the GL Accounts tab of the Vendor Locations (AP303010) form for the vendor location selected in the Summary area of this form.
  • If Inventory Item is selected, the expense account specified in the Expense Account box on the GL Accounts tab of the Non-Stock Items form for the non-stock item selected in this line.
Description Any description of the account that has been provided.
Subaccount

The corresponding subaccount to be used for bills and adjustments. You can override this subaccount value if needed.

When a document is created directly on the current form, the subaccount is composed based on the rule defined in the Combine the Expense Sub. from box on the Accounts Payable Preferences (AP101000) form. If the I mask is used for a segment of the subaccount but there is no non-stock item in the document line, the segment value is copied from the vendor location (L).

If the AP bill has been created for a purchase order, and the vendor specified in this purchase order is the supplied-by vendor, the system uses the subaccount of the pay-to vendor as the value for the segment in which L is specified (which in this case indicates the subaccount associated with the vendor location) in the combined subaccount mask. For more information about relations between supplied-by and pay-to vendors, see Managing Vendor Relations.

Project

If the Require Single Project per Document check box is selected on the Accounts Payable Preferences form, this column is not available for editing, and the project associated with the bill in the Project box in the Summary area is specified in this column.

Tip: You can move the column to the top-left position in the table and start the data entry from this column. If you change or clear the inventory item, account, subaccount, or warehouse in a line, the system does not change the project, project task, and cost code in the line.

The column is shown if the Project Accounting feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form and the integration of project accounting and accounts payable has been enabled—that is, the AP check box is selected in the Visibility Settings section on the Projects Preferences form.

Project Task

The particular task of the selected project. You can select only a task associated with the selected project. If you select a project that has the default project task, this task is automatically populated in the column.

The code and description of the 1099 box. The code indicates the form in which you want to include the amount in this line (1099-MISC, 1099-NEC, or both forms) and the box number, and the description indicates its type. You specify a value only if the selected vendor is a 1099 vendor and you want to include this value in the 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC form; otherwise, you leave the column empty.

By default, this value is copied from the expense account associated with the 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC form.

For retainage documents paid by line (those that have the Pay by Line check box selected on the current form), the setting in this column for each line is copied from the related line of the original document. You can override this value.

For retainage documents that have the Pay by Line check box cleared, the setting is either of the following, but you can override this value:

  • The setting is copied from one of the lines of the original document that has the 1099 Box column filled in and the needed tax category specified for the lines in the Tax Category column
  • This setting is empty if the 1099 Box column is empty for all the lines of the original document with the needed tax category

This column appears on the form if the 1099 Reporting feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form and the selected vendor has the 1099 Vendor check box selected on the Vendors form.

Deferral Code

The deferral code assigned to the stock item or non-stock item specified in this document line. Upon release of the document, the system generates a deferral schedule (or schedules) based on the settings defined for this deferral code. For details, see Processing Deferrals.

You can change the deferral code in this column manually, if needed. When you click the selector button in the column, the lookup table that opens shows only the deferral codes for which the Active check box is selected in the Summary area of the Deferral Codes (DR202000) form.

Note: If you change the MDA deferral code (the deferral code that indicates that an item is a package) to any non-MDA deferral code, the system will consider the item to not be a package and will ignore its components while generating a deferral schedule. That is, the system will generate the deferral schedule for the item based on the settings of the specified non-MDA deferral code.
Original Deferral Schedule

A read-only column filled in by the system in the Debit Adjustment documents created by the reversing process. It shows the unique number of the deferral schedule associated with the original document (such as an AP bill).

Note: If a Debit Adjustment document is created manually, then you can select a deferral schedule to be reversed.

In the original documents, this column remains empty.

Term Start Date

Term End Date

The date when the process of deferred expense recognition should finish for the selected item.
