COMPARE TRAVEL ITEMS TO AP VOUCHERS

Use this report to print out a comprehensive listing of the travel items that were posted to Costpoint Travel (expense reports, advances, company-paid expenses) and created as A/P vouchers. This report will provide a more detailed query of posted items than the report printed by the Create/Post AP Vouchers screen.

This report will provide valuable information to travel users about the posting program and the auto-generated lines that have been created.

This report is critical because a travel A/P voucher contains auto-generated lines. Therefore, an expense report shown in a travel inquiry may not look like, or have the same amounts as, the created A/P Voucher shown in any of the screens in the Inquiry menu in Costpoint Accounts Payable. The A/P voucher may have additional lines and may have a different voucher amount. If lines are auto-generated by the Create/Post AP Vouchers screen, you cannot issue an A/P check for the amount of the expense report posted in Costpoint Travel.

Include this report in your weekly travel processing procedures. Run it each week immediately after posting vouchers to Costpoint Accounts Payable. At this point in the processing cycle, vouchers become the responsibility of your Accounts Payable department. This report will provide you with travel items that have been created as A/P vouchers and therefore are available for matching on the Reconcile Unmatched Expenses and the Match Company Paid Expenses screens. We suggest that you refrain from running these reports when entering new travel advances, expense reports, and company-paid expenses. You should also refrain from running these reports when the Create/Post AP Vouchers screen is in use.
