Miscellaneous Vouchers can be used to authorize payments for non-Inventory goods or services. You might use a miscellaneous Voucher, for example, to authorize payment for Utility bills or other non-Inventory expenses. To enter a Miscellaneous Voucher, select the "Enter New Miscellaneous Voucher" option. The following screen will appear:
A Voucher posts to the General Ledger effective on the Invoice Date entered on the Voucher—not on the date it is posted, as might be assumed.
When entering a new Voucher, you are presented with the following options:
Next available Voucher Number will automatically display, unless your system requires you to enter Voucher Numbers manually. Default values and input parameters for Voucher Numbers are configurable at the system level.
Enter the Vendor number of the Vendor you want to enter a Miscellaneous Voucher for.
Specify the dollar amount you intend to distribute to the Vendor for the Miscellaneous Voucher.
Displays sum of all miscellaneous distributions for the Miscellaneous Voucher.
Displays the difference between amount to distribute and amount distributed.
Enter an Invoice date for the Voucher. The Invoice date is used for determining the due date, based on the specified Terms.
Enter the date of the current distribution. When the Voucher is posted, this is the date when the posting will be recorded in the General Ledger.
Enter the date payment is due to the Vendor. The due date is derived when the specified Terms are added to the Invoice date.
Specify the billing Terms for the Voucher.
Enter the Vendor Invoice Number associated with the Miscellaneous Voucher.
Use this field to enter any notation or reference required for further identification.
Specify the Tax Zone which has jurisdiction over the transaction. By default, the Tax Zone for the specified Vendor will be used.
Select to flag transaction for Form 1099 Tax reporting. This is informational only and does not impact Tax calculations.
Display lists miscellaneous Cost distributions related to the Miscellaneous Voucher.
Select if you want to post the Voucher automatically as soon as you hit the SAVE button. If not selected, the Voucher will need to be posted in another step. This option is "sticky," meaning the screen will remember your choice the next time you create a Voucher.

These descriptions are static and not processed by the system, but are useful for informational purposes. To enter Characteristics associated with a Miscellaneous Voucher, select the "Characteristics" tab. The following screen will appear:
