Notes About the Procedure

The notes in this section describe the nuances of the UI elements available on the form, such as when an element is required and when it is not, and when the system fills in settings by default. This section can include other notes.

Note the following about the Summary area of the form:

  • In the Date box, the current date is selected by default. You can override this date, if needed.
  • The system fills in the Post Period box automatically, based on the date that you specified.
  • The Vendor Ref. parameter is required only if the Require Vendor Reference check box is selected on the Accounts Payable Preferences (AP101000) form; otherwise, it is optional.
  • In the Currency box, you can override the currency only if the Allow Currency Override check box is selected for the selected vendor on the Vendors (AP303000) form.

Note the following about the Details tab:

  • In the Inventory ID column, you can select only a non-stock item or service.
  • The system automatically calculates and inserts the value in the Ext. Cost column based on the values specified in the Quantity and Unit Cost columns.
  • In the Account column, the system enters the expense account associated with the vendor location if the Inventory ID column is empty. If an inventory item is specified in the Inventory ID column, the system enters the expense account specified in the inventory ID settings.
  • In the Subaccount column, the system inserts the subaccount generated in accordance with the rule in the Combine Expense Sub. from box on the Accounts Payable Preferences (AP101000) form. You can manually change the subaccount if necessary.
  • The Project column appears only if the Project Accounting feature has been enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.
  • In the Add PO Receipt dialog box (which is brought up when you click Add PO Receipt on the table toolbar), you can enter an identifier of a purchase order in the Order Nbr. box to narrow the selection of receipts associated with this order.
  • If the unit cost specified in the bill differs from the unit cost in the receipt, the system posts the discrepancy to the Purchase Price Variance Account associated with the item on the GL Accounts tab of the Non-Stock Items (IN202000) form.
