Create Debit Memos

What can I do in this screen?

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 (Accounting\Transactions\Vouchers). The Debit Memo checkbox in the Enter PO Vouchers screen (Accounting\Transactions\Vouchers) will become selected, 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 (Accounting\Transactions\Vouchers).

Note: You cannot create debit memos for subcontract POs.

To create a debit memo, there must be a value in the Rejected - Credit Quantity field and/or a value in the Rejected - Replace Quantity field, and this quantity must have already been vouchered. You should have established the received, accepted, and/or rejected quantities, respectively, in the Receive Purchase Orders screen (Materials\Transactions\Receipts), Enter QC Inspections screen (Materials\Transactions\Receipts), or the Enter Vendor Returns screen (Materials\Transactions\Receipts). The receipt quantity for which these rejections occurred must also have a PO voucher already created.

The table window populates with eligible purchase order lines, when you select the Execute icon. Each of these lines is eligible to become a debit memo voucher. Lines for which Create DM checkbox is selected will become debit memos. The debit memo vouchers are created when you save the screen.

This screen has four subtasks:  PO Line Accounts, PO Receipts, Inspections, and Vend Returns.

When should I use this screen?

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

It will assign the last system voucher + 1. All purchase order lines that have the Create DM checkbox selected must have a voucher number.

If it finds a duplicate voucher number [i.e., one that exists in the Enter PO Vouchers screen (Accounting\Transactions\Vouchers), Enter A/P Vouchers screen (Accounting\Transactions\Vouchers), or the Voucher History Inquiry screen (Accounting\Review\Vouchers)], you must enter a new, unique number.
