3.1.1. Voucher Item

To distribute quantities from purchase order line items to the voucher, highlight a line item and then select the DISTRIBUTIONS button. The following screen will appear:

Voucher Item Distributions

Note

An item's per unit actual cost will be automatically updated after a voucher is posted if the vouchered cost differs from the item's current actual cost. The vouchered cost for an item is determined by dividing the amount to distribute by the quantity to voucher.

When distributing quantities from a purchase order line item to the voucher, you are presented with the following options:

Order Number

Displays purchase order number specified on previous screen.

Line #

Displays line item selected for distribution on previous screen.

Item Number

Displays item number associated with specified line item.

UOM

Inventory unit of measure (UOM).

Line item price information

Displays the following price information for the purchase order line item:

Unit Price

Displays the unit price for the line item.

Ext. Price

Displays the extended price for the line item.

Line Item Freight

Displays the amount of line item freight, if any.

Quantity

Displays the following quantity information for the purchase order line item:

Ordered

Displays the quantity ordered for the line item.

Received

Displays the quantity received to date of the line item.

Rejected

Displays the quantity rejected to date of the line item.

Uninvoiced Received

Displays the uninvoiced quantity received to date of the line item.

Uninvoiced Rejected

Displays the uninvoiced quantity rejected to date of the specified line item.

Qty. To Voucher

This is a read-only field displaying the purchase order line item quantity tagged to be vouchered for the given voucher item. The quantity displayed equals the tagged received quantity minus any returned quantity which may also have been tagged. The quantity to voucher is a divisor applied to the distribution amount. The resulting amount—that is, the voucher item distribution amount divided by the quantity vouchered—determines the per unit actual cost for an item. The system will automatically handle any differences between the inventory and vendor UOMs—if any differences exist.

Tip

If you want to partially pay for a receipt—but find you cannot edit the value in the Qty. to Voucher field—you should first correct the quantity on the original receipt to be the amount you want to pay for, then enter a second receipt for the balance. To correct receipt quantities, use the right-click menu on the Uninvoiced Receipts and Returns screen.

Amt. To Voucher

Displays the monetary amount of the line item quantity being vouchered.

Uninvoiced Receipts and Returns

Display lists uninvoiced receipts and returns for the specified line item. To change the tagged status for a line item, double-click on the quantity in the Uninvoiced Receipts and Returns display. If a received (or returned) quantity has been tagged Yes, this means the quantity will be marked as invoiced when the voucher is posted.

Tip

You can split or correct a receipt by right-clicking on a line item in the Uninvoiced Receipts and Returns window.

Close

Select to close the line item automatically when the voucher is posted. This flag will be selected automatically if the received quantity tagged for vouchering is equal to or greater than the order quantity.

Distributions

Display lists costing elements used for distributing voucher costs. At the bottom of the display, the total amount distributed will display. This total includes costing element distributions and any purchase order line item freight charges.

Tax Type

Specify the tax type for the line item. By default, the tax type specified on the selected purchase order will be used.

Freight

Enter the amount of any purchase order line item freight charges. The freight amount entered in this field will be added to the total amount for the voucher item. If you are vouchering for less than the original quantity ordered—and if line item freight was entered when the purchase order was created—then you should consider adjusting the line item freight amount accordingly. To make this adjustment, multiply the quantity you are vouchering by the per unit freight charge. The per unit freight charge is determined by dividing the original line item freight amount by the original line item quantity.

Tax

Displays the amount of tax associated with the line item, if any.

Total Distributed

Displays the total amount distributed for the line item.

To view detailed line item information, select the Detail tab. The following screen will appear:

3.1.1.1. Voucher Item Distribution

To distribute purchasing costs to specific costing elements for the item quantity being vouchered, select the NEW button. The following screen will appear:

Voucher Item Distribution

Note

An item's per unit actual cost will be automatically updated after a voucher is posted if the vouchered cost differs from the item's current actual cost. The vouchered cost for an item is determined by dividing the amount to distribute by the quantity to voucher.

When distributing purchasing costs to a specific costing element, you are presented with the following options:

Costing Element

Specify the costing element you want to distribute purchasing costs to. The material costing element will be selected by default once line item quantity has been tagged. You may distribute costs to more than one costing element per voucher item. The list of available costing elements includes the system-defined material costing element, as well as any user-defined costing elements designated as available to accept purchase order distributions.

Tip

Be sure to specify the amount to distribute based on the pricing found on the purchase order. The system will automatically handle any calculations required to accommodate inventory/vendor unit of measure (UOM) ratios which are not 1:1.

Amount to Distribute

Specify the purchasing amount to distribute to the specified costing element. By default, the extended price for the purchase order line item will be entered here once line item quantity has been tagged. Any difference between the distribution amount and the current actual cost amount for the costing element will result in the posting of automatic updates to the current actual cost when the voucher is posted.

Discountable

Select if the voucher item is entitled to a terms discount. This option may be used on a line-by-line basis—all within one voucher. For example, purchased items may be discountable; however, freight charges may not be. When selecting a voucher for payment within the discount period, only discountable items will be discounted.

Notes

This is a scrolling text field with word-wrapping for entering general notes related to the voucher item distribution. These notes are for internal use only.
