CREATE DEBIT MEMOS

Use this screen to automatically create debit memo vouchers for purchase order receipt quantities that have been rejected for credit and vouchered. You can optionally create debit memo vouchers for purchase order receipt quantities that have been rejected for repair/replacement and vouchered. This process creates records in the Enter PO Vouchers screen. The Debit Memo checkbox in the Enter PO Vouchers screen will be checked, indicating that the voucher is a debit memo. Once you have created these debit memo vouchers, you can maintain them in the Enter PO Vouchers screen. You cannot create debit memos for subcontract POs. For a debit memo to be created, there must be a Rejected Quantity - Credit and/or a Rejected Quantity - Replace amount that has already been vouchered. You should have established the Received, Accepted and/or Rejected quantities, respectively, in the Receive Purchase Order, Enter QC Inspections, or Enter Vendor Returns screens in Costpoint Receiving. The receipt quantity for which these rejections occurred must also have a PO voucher already created.

The table window will be populated with eligible purchase order lines, when you execute Subquery. Each of these lines is eligible to become a debit memo voucher. Those lines that have their Create DM column set to "Y" will become debit memos. The actual creation of debit memo vouchers occurs when you save the screen.

You can execute this process whenever you want to automatically create a debit memo for eligible purchase order lines.

This field indicates whether a debit memo should be created for this purchase order line.

When you save this application, the program will create debit memos for all purchase order lines that have a "Y" (Yes) in this field. Once a debit memo is created, you can view and maintain it in the Enter PO Vouchers screen.

Debit Memo Vchr No

Enter the voucher number to be used when this purchase order line is created into a debit memo. This is a required field. The system does not assign numbers automatically. All purchase order lines that have a Create DM column set to "Y" must have a voucher number. When you save, the system will validate all purchase order lines to make sure the voucher numbers entered have not been previously used. If it finds a duplicate voucher number (i.e., one that exists in the Enter PO Vouchers, Enter A/P Vouchers, or Voucher History), you must enter a new, unique number. Multiple purchase order lines in this application, for the same purchase order, can have the same voucher number. They will be created on the same Debit Memo.

RMA Number

Enter, or use Lookup to select, the vendor's Returned Material Authorization (RMA) number. This number will print on the hard copy of the Debit Memo for material that is to be returned to the vendor. You can use Lookup to select an RMA number, provided one was entered, from all receipts that exist for this PO line.

Debit Memo Quantity

Enter the quantity, in ordering units of measure, being returned to the vendor. This is a required field. If you selected the Include Rejected - Replace Amounts checkbox, the Rejected Quantity - Credit amount plus the Rejected Quantity - Replace amount will default, but can be changed if necessary. If you did not select the checkbox, the Rejected Quantity - Credit amount will default, but can be changed if necessary.

Debit Memo Unit Cost

Enter the unit cost for the item being returned to the vendor. This is the cost of one unit of the item. The Invoice Unit Cost from the purchase order voucher will default, but can be changed if necessary.
