Contents of the Employee Repayments Form

After you open an employee repayments transaction file, the fields that display in the header fields at the top of the form apply to the entire transaction. The grid fields represent individual transaction line items.

Header Fields

Field Description
Reference

Enter a number by which to reference this transaction.

If the selected bank has automatic numbering for transactions set up, the reference number is automatically set to the next receipt reference number in this field and you cannot enter a number. In this case, the reference number is based on settings specified on the Transaction Auto Number tab in Settings > Advanced Accounting > System.

Date Specify the date for this transaction. For employee repayment and timesheet transactions, enter a date for each detail line. For expense transactions, enter a date for the entire file.
Comment For employee repayments and timesheets, this is an optional field. You can enter a comment for the employee repayment/timesheet. For cash receipts and employee repayments, this is a required field. You can enter a comment for the cash receipt/employee repayment.
Diary This field displays only if you have set up a diary for the fiscal period or fiscal year in which you are entering transactions in the Diary Auto Numbering Options section of the Transaction Settings form in Settings > Accounting > Transactions.

Use this field to select a diary code for the current transaction or the group of transactions if you are processing a group of transactions, such as in a vendor payment run. The diaries are used to generate diary reports that contain a set of sequentially numbered transactions that have been posted to the general ledger during the fiscal year or to specific fiscal periods. You can assign different diaries (that have different diary types) to different types of transactions.

The Diary drop-down list contains three columns. The first column displays the diary code. The second and third columns display the diary type for the diary code and the description of the diary type.

The drop-down list contains all the diaries that you set up on the Diary Auto Numbering Options section in Transactions Settings that have the same fiscal period or fiscal year in which you are entering transactions or that have no fiscal period or year entered for them.

If you have multiple companies in DPS, the Diary field drop-down list includes only the diary codes that are set up for the current company. The list also includes IC - Intercompany Diary to capture intercompany transactions.

You cannot delete a transaction after it has been saved with a diary number. If a transaction is incorrect, you can enter zero amounts for the transaction or enter a reversing transaction.

Diary Number This field prefills with an auto-generated number when you save a transaction. The diary numbers tie the specific transactions to debit and credit entries that are posted to the general ledger for the purpose of producing diary reports. The auto numbering ensures that the diary numbers are sequential, based on the order that transactions are posted.

The next number to use for a diary is specified in the Next Diary Number field in the Diaries grid, in the Diary Auto Numbering Options section of the Transaction Settings form in Settings > Accounting > Transactions.

Status This field displays the current status of the transaction file.
Approved By If the transaction file has been approved, this field displays the name of the approver.
