Purchase Order Island

Field Description

Allocation, Currency Island

Field Description
Status This field shows the current status of the invoice displayed in the window. The field can show one of the following options:
  • Awaits Allocation — The invoice journal has been submitted and approved for posting, but no invoice allocation line has yet been created for the invoice in question.
  • Allocation Started — Allocation lines have been created, but have not yet been submitted or fully allocated.
  • Awaits Approval — The allocation has been submitted for approval and awaits approval for posting.
  • Awaits Posting — The invoice journal has been approved, but has not yet been posted.

    Note that if you do not use approval hierarchies, and if the system parameter “Approve vend. inv. at submission” has been marked, vendor invoice journals are automatically approved once they are submitted, and this option is thus displayed in this field. See the description of the actions “Submit for approval” and “Approve for posting” for further information.

  • Allocation Completed — The allocation has been fully approved and posted, and is thus completed.
Allocated excl. Tax This field shows how much of the invoice or credit memo you have allocated to cost accounts or jobs, tax excluded. The value in the field is calculated as the total of the amounts in the field “Amount Excl. Tax” in the table part of the window.
Allocated Tax This field shows how much tax you have allocated to tax accounts. The value in the field is calculated as the total of the field “Tax Amount” in the table part of the window.

Note that you are not required to reallocate tax. This means that you can change the price/tax ratio when reallocating. If the reallocated tax does not add up to the original tax, or if you use different accounts, Maconomy will create an appropriate number of tax entries to fully reconcile the original tax.

Allocated Incl. Tax This field shows how much of the vendor invoice or credit memo amount including tax has been allocated on G/L accounts or jobs. The field is calculated as the sum of the amounts entered in the field “Amount, Incl. Tax” in the table part of the window.
Remainder, Excl. Tax This field shows how much of the total amount, tax excluded remains to be allocated on the lines in the table part of the window. The invoice allocation cannot be approved until the amount in this field is zero.
Remainder, Tax This field shows how much of the total tax amount on the vendor invoice remains to be allocated on the lines in the table part of the window.

The functionality of the field depends on whether the system parameter “Recalculate Tax Amount from Amount Including Tax” has been marked.

If the parameter has not been marked, the functionality is as described below. If the parameter has been marked, substitute the term “amount excluding tax” in the description below with “amount including tax.”

On the individual lines created in the table part, the tax amount is calculated from the amount excluding tax. This means that if a tax amount remains when the full amount excluding tax has been allocated (for instance because you changed the tax amount on the invoice due to an incorrect tax amount stated by the vendor), you must manually change the tax amount on one of the allocation lines before the allocation can be approved. However, if the amount excl. tax entered on a line causes the remainder excl. tax to be fully allocated, and the difference between the tax remainder and the calculated tax for the line in question is within the margin specified in the system parameter “Margin for automatic correction of tax,” the tax remainder is automatically allocated to the line (rather than calculated from the amount excluding tax on the line), regardless of whether this tax amount is correct according to the amount and tax code on the line.

Remainder, Incl. Tax This field shows how much of the total amount inclusive tax remains to be allocated on the lines in the table part of the window. The invoice allocation cannot be approved until the amount in this field is zero.
Responsible for Allocation In this field, you can specify the number of the employee responsible for the allocation of the invoice in question. If a global location number is specified in the field “Global Location No.,” any allocation responsible assigned to the location number in question is suggested.
Name This field shows the name of the employee assigned responsible for the allocation of the invoice in question.

Job Island

Field Description
Job If a job number was specified on the original vendor invoice, this field shows the job number in question. The job number cannot be changed here. This field also shows the name of the job specified by the job number.

Entry Island

Field Description
Reallocation Date In this field, you can enter the date on which the invoice should be reallocated. Maconomy suggests the date on which the invoice or credit memo was registered, but you can change the date manually. Maconomy checks that the date is within the open posting period.
Entry Date This field shows the entry date registered on the invoice or credit memo.
Trans. No. This field shows the transaction number of the invoice or credit memo. This number is used for all the entries in the journal.
Trans. Type This field shows the transaction type of the vendor invoice journal entry.

Line No. This field shows the journal line number on which the invoice or credit memo was registered.

Currency Island

Field Description
Exchange Rate This field shows the exchange rate used when the invoice was posted.
Fixed Exchange Rate at Payment If this field is marked, the exchange rate in which the entry is posted will be fixed when the payment is posted, even though the exchange rate may have changed according to the current exchange rate table.

Document Archive Island

Field Description
Document Archive No. In this field, you can enter a number of a document archive to be assigned to the vendor invoice in question. By assigning a document archive to a vendor invoice, you can keep track of the documents relevant to the vendor invoice.

If you need to assign a specific document (for example, a scanned image of the original vendor invoice) to an invoice journal, this can be done by specifying the name of the file in the field “File Name” below. Document archives are created in the window Document Archives in the Set-Up module.

This field also shows the description of the document archive whose number you specified.

File Name In this field, you can enter the name of a file to be assigned to the invoice. The file name specified can refer to a document containing a scanned image of the original invoice or any other document being of particular relevance for the vendor invoice.

If you create an invoice manually in this window, you must specify the entire path of the file in this field in order to assign a file to the invoice. When you press Return, a document archive in which the file is stored is automatically created, if Maconomy can locate the file specified. The number series for document archives to be used by Maconomy are specified in the window Number Series in the Set-Up module.

If you need to assign a file to an invoice after having pressed Return, you specify only the file name in this field, not the entire path, and the number of the document archive in which the file is stored. Once the invoice has been approved for posting, you cannot specify a file name in this field.

The file assigned to the invoice can be displayed by a third party program, for example, Acrobat Reader or a browser by selecting the action “Show Document” in the Action menu of this window. In this way, you can always inspect the original invoice when processing the Maconomy invoice through reallocation in the system.
