Use this screen to determine how the Multicurrency A/P Voucher Preprocessor replaces invalid charging data. The A/P Voucher Suspense Setup screen consists of two major sections: the Validation Method group box and the Suspense Values group box. In the Validation Method group box, you can choose the method by which the preprocessor will replace invalid data with the suspense values. In the Suspense Values group box, you can designate the values to be used for replacement.
Fill out this screen and save your selections before running the Multicurrency A/P Voucher preprocessor. The preprocessor uses your selections to replace invalid charging data with the suspense value data you provide, depending on the data replacement method you choose.
Use this group box to specify the data replacement method you want the preprocessor to use. You can choose either a "single" method (e.g., account only, project only) or a "combination" method (e.g., account/organization or project/account/ organization) for replacing items that fail the preprocessor validations. You cannot select both methods across the different validation items; i.e., if you select a "combination" method in one box, you must select that same "combination" method in all group boxes, where applicable. If you select a "single" method, other validations will be automatically set to No Substitution.
Use this group box to specify how you want the preprocessor to handle accounts that fail validation.
