PROCESSING   

Input File and Error File Layout

You will name the Input File. The Error File has the same name with an extension of .ERR and will have the same layout as the Input File.

The Input File must be a fixed-format file. You must fill every position with either an appropriate character or space. It is not necessary to zero-fill numbers; you can use spaces to maintain the proper format. Numeric fields must be right-justified and character fields must be left-justified. You do not need to fill the Notes fields with spaces, but every record must end with a carriage return and line feed.

A record in the Input File must be in one of three formats: Header, Detail, or Vendor Labor. Each voucher Header record must have at least one matching voucher Detail record in the Input File. Vendor Labor records are optional. Each Vendor Labor record must match with a Detail record in the Input File.

Processing Details

  1. The application checks the voucher temporary tables to ensure all rows are imported. If rows have not been imported, the system displays a message on the screen and you can continue or cancel the process. If you continue, the temporary tables will be cleared.

  2. The system inserts records from the Input File into the temporary tables.

  3. The system applies defaults to fields that are blank in the Input File and that have a "default provided" status.

  4. Validations are performed.

  5. Once the validations are completed, the system writes vouchers with errors to the error file. If there is an error on one line of a voucher (header, detail, or vendor labor), all lines of the voucher will be rejected and written to the error file. These rows will then be deleted from the temporary tables. The temporary tables now have only valid rows in them.

  6. Field processing and calculations are performed.

  7. The Error Report is printed. If there are errors, the system will display a message on the screen. If there are no errors, the Error Report will indicate that no records were found.

Import Details

  1. If the application uses the voucher numbers from the Input File, the Voucher Header and Voucher Header History will be checked again to ensure that the vouchers being imported do not already exist. If duplicates do exist, the system will display a message on the screen and will not perform the import.

  2. If the application assigns voucher numbers, all vouchers in the temporary tables will be assigned new and unique voucher numbers.

  3. The Voucher Key, Voucher Line Key, Voucher Line Account Key, and Voucher Line Vendor Key are set.

  4. Rows from the temporary tables are inserted into the Voucher Header, Voucher Line, Voucher Line Account, and Voucher Labor Vendor tables.

Error Report

When running the Multicurrency A/P Voucher Preprocessor under the Process Server, please remember that only the Process step will be performed. You must manually run the import step.

The workstation that submits the process and the Process Server itself must have a common drive letter that points to the same Server, Volume, and Directory; and the Input File read must be stored in that directory. For example, if the Input File is selected from G:\STORAGE on Server 4, Volume 3, the Process Server must have its drive G: mapped to Server 4, Volume 3 and have Read and Write rights to the STORAGE directory.
