A/P VOUCHER PREPROCESSOR

Use this preprocessor to import vouchers from an ASCII file or from tables. You can import both open payables and paid vouchers in this screen. You can view and edit the transactions loaded by this preprocessor in the Enter AP Vouchers screen in Costpoint Accounts Payable. In addition, you can use the Print Voucher Edit report function to review them. This application is separately licensed for the current release of Costpoint. An Ongoing Support Plan (OSP) is available for routine maintenance and upgrades. Customization is priced separately.

You must complete the A/P Voucher Suspense Setup screen before using this preprocessor.

Only one user at a time can run this application.

When running the A/P Voucher Preprocessor under 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.

Fields Controlled by Company

The following fields are controlled by company: 

Input File

Select Input

From the drop-down list, select your input source:

The tables are:

Table

Contains Information to be Imported for the:

AOPUTLAP_INP_HDR

Header-type record

AOPUTLAP_INP_DETL

Detail-type record

AOPUTLAP_INP_LAB

Labor-type record

Warning:  For the Tables setting only, the Fiscal Year column cannot be null in the tables. If you do not supply a fiscal year, you must set the Fiscal Year column to a single blank character space in the tables.

Select

Click Select to see a list of files from which you can select an Input File, or enter the name of the file to be processed in the field to the right.

International users:  The data can contain non-English characters, provided they are in the ASCII character set. Before creating an ASCII text (.TXT) file, be sure that your keyboard language is set to "EN" (United States English) to prevent Costpoint from generating errors. Deltek recommends the use of .TXT and .CSV file-naming conventions.

Accounting Period

Select the fiscal year, period, and subperiod to use as defaults. These settings will not override values in the Input File, but will be used if the fiscal year, period, and/or subperiod in the Input File are blank.

Voucher Numbering Method

Select one of the following three methods for numbering vouchers:

Use Voucher Numbers in Input File

Select this option to use the voucher numbers provided in the Input File when importing vouchers to Costpoint tables. This is the default.

Use Last System Voucher Number

Select this option to assign unique voucher numbers sequentially when importing to the Costpoint tables. Costpoint uses the Last System Voucher Number from the A/P Voucher Settings screen in Costpoint Accounts Payable to determine the next voucher number.

Supply Beginning Voucher Number

Select this option to enter a beginning voucher number (up to nine digits) in the data field directly below this option. Unique voucher numbers are assigned sequentially when you import, starting with the beginning voucher number you enter.

If you select the Use Last System Voucher Number option, the Costpoint system-wide setting for the Voucher Numbering Method option on the A/P Voucher Settings screen in Costpoint Accounts Payable must be set to System, and the Last System Voucher Number field must be greater than or equal to zero.

Warning: Assigning voucher numbers when importing can take significantly longer than using the voucher numbers provided in the Input File. The length of time required for the import also depends upon the number of vouchers being uploaded.

Process Table Options

For this group box to be active, you must select Tables as the setting for the Select Input option. The three options in this group box work only when you select the Process Input File button on the toolbar.

Load Unprocessed Records

Select this option to process rows having a status (S_STATUS_CD) of U from the input tables. The rows are selected from the Header, Detail, and Labor tables.

Records that pass validation and records that fail validation are loaded into separate temporary tables; this is the same procedure for processing Input Files. The status code (S_STATUS_CD) column is then updated to E (Error) in all the input tables for the corresponding records that contain errors.

When you select the Import Vouchers button on the toolbar, all the records that passed validation are inserted into the base tables (VCHR_HDR, VCHR_LN, VCHR_LN_ACCT, and VCHR_LAB_VEND). The Status Code column is then updated with an I (Imported) to show that these rows have been successfully imported.

Reprocess Error Records

Select this option to re-process rows from the input tables having a status (S_STATUS_CD) of E (Error).

Delete Imported Records

Select this option to delete rows from the input tables having a status (S_STATUS_CD) of I (Imported). Costpoint deletes records from the Header (AOPUTLAP_INP_HDR), Detail (AOPUTLAP_INP_DETL), and Labor (AOPUTLAP_INP_LAB) input tables.

Options

Expand Segmented IDs

Select this check box to expand the Account, Org, Project, Reference Number 1, and Reference Number 2 fields in the Input File when processing.

If you select this check box, Costpoint pads any segment of the affected fields that is shorter than the specified length for that segment:

Warning: If you select the Expand Segmented IDs option, processing may take significantly longer.

Processing Sequence

Process Input File

Select this option in the Process menu to read the Input File, create temporary tables, validate records, and print the Error Report.

Import Vouchers

Click this button on the toolbar (or the option in the Process menu) to import the rows from the temporary tables (created by the process) into the Voucher Header, Voucher Line, and Voucher Line Account tables.

Processing Details

Input File and Error File Layout

You 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 have 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. Costpoint checks the voucher temporary tables to ensure that all rows are imported. If any rows have not been imported, Costpoint displays a message and you can continue or cancel the process. If you continue, the temporary tables will be cleared.

  2. Costpoint reads records from the Input File and inserts them into the temporary tables.

  3. Costpoint 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, vouchers with errors are written to the error file. If there is an error on one line of a voucher (header, detail, or vendor labor), Costpoint rejects all lines of the voucher and writes them to the error file. It then deletes these rows from the temporary tables. The temporary tables now have only valid rows in them.

  6. Costpoint performs field processing and calculations.

  7. The Error Report prints. If there are errors, Costpoint displays a message on the screen. If there are no errors, the Error Report indicates that no records were found.

Import Details

  1. When Costpoint uses the voucher numbers from the Input File, the Voucher Header and Voucher Header History are checked again to ensure that the vouchers being imported do not already exist. If duplicates do exist, Costpoint displays a message and will not perform the import.

  2. When Costpoint assigns voucher numbers, all vouchers in the temporary tables are assigned new and unique voucher numbers.

  3. Costpoint sets the Voucher Key, Voucher Line Key, Voucher Line Account Key, and Voucher Line Vendor Key.

  4. Costpoint inserts rows from the temporary tables into the Voucher Header, Voucher Line, Voucher Line Account, and Voucher Labor Vendor tables.

  5. Costpoint clears the temporary tables to prevent duplicate uploads.
