AP2-07 Invoice Reversals

 

PURPOSE

 

The Invoice Reversals program is used to enter credit notes that are to be applied to outstanding supplier invoices. All entries are done in batches and each entry is assigned a sequence number within the batch. Invoice reversals should be followed by a register print and update.

 

IdealWare Only

 

For credits regarding inventory items that were returned you have two options.

  1. This is the typical procedure: create a credit receipt (refer to 30114 Receipts), reverse and remove the accrued details (refer to 24548 Accrual Reversals), and reverse and remove the A/P invoice using the invoice reversals program.

  2. An alternate procedure is: create a credit receipt (refer to 30114 Receipts), and then create a credit A/P invoice and specify the credit inventory receipt as the receipt number (refer to 24553 Invoice Posting).

 

 

The program requires you to enter the supplier code and the folio number to which the credit note applies. You must key in the credit amount as well as the G/L account code(s) and their respective amounts that are to be credited.

 

The entries made through this program will be applied to the original invoice or cancel that invoice altogether.

 

Entries made here will not affect your "total purchases" amount but will instead increase the "total reversals" in the supplier master file.

 

Invoice Reversals is accessed from:

  • Accounts Payable Processing menu

PROCEDURE - BATCH CREATION/ACCESS

 

Select Invoice Reversals from the Accounts Payable Processing menu.

 

You are taken to the batch selection screen. If there is an open batch at this terminal it will be displayed; to create a new batch you must first either update or abort the existing batch (see PROCEDURE - REGISTER PRINTING & UPDATING).

 

If you are creating a new batch:

COMPANY

 

Defaults to the company code, no input required.

 

BATCH NUMBER

 

Defaults to the next available batch number, no input required.

 

G/L DATE

 

Enter a G/L date for the batch.

 

[Enter] for the current system date.

 

Many programs use the dates of the individual transactions in the batch as the date the G/L is affected by the transaction. For those programs, the Batch G/L date is simply used to indicate the date of batch creation. Some programs use the Batch G/L date as the date the G/L is affected by ALL transactions in the batch. The effective date is noted in PROCEDURE - DATA ENTRY.

 

CONTROL TOTAL

 

Enter a control total for the batch.

 

[Enter] to bypass.

 

Generally, a control total is optional. However, some programs require a control total. In either case a control total serves as a handy check-sum against the total entries in a batch and should be entered. Simply add up the total of the transactions to be made in the batch and Enter that as your control total.

 

** PRESS 'CR' TO CONTINUE; 'F3' TO RE-ENTER; F4 TO END:

 

[Enter] to advance to data entry screen.

 

[F3] to re-enter G/L date or control total.

 

[F4] to exit to menu.

 

 

PROCEDURE - DATA ENTRY

 

After you create a new batch you are taken to the data entry screen with the following fields completed:

 

BATCH

 

Displays the current batch number.

 

CONTROL

 

Displays the control total entered during batch selection.

 

ACTUAL

 

Displays the actual total of items posted.

 

Until you enter the first amount this field will display .00DR.

 

 

LEFT

 

Displays the difference between the control and actual totals.
