Vendor Review Tab of the Create Voucher from Purchase Orders Form

Use the Vendor Review tab to create a voucher from the data in one or more vendors' open purchase orders.

You must select the Selected for this run check box on this tab to enable all the fields on this tab.

For non-inventory items, you can use the 2-way or the 3-way match procedure. For inventory items, you must use the 3-way match procedure.

If you use multiple companies, the vendors that are available are the ones with accounting set up for the active company in the Firms hub.

The collected amount of the vouchers that you select, including their tax, shipping, and other amounts, must match the Invoice Amount in the tab's header. You can select one or more purchase orders or any of their line items; one or more releases for blanket orders, or any of their line items; or a mix of these.

Tab Header

After you select one or more vendors, the first, unlabeled fields in the header section display the vendor number and vendor name for the current vendor.

Field Description
Selected for this run Select this check box to enable the fields on this tab. The data that you enter on this tab is applicable to the selected vendor, whose name and number display at the top of the tab.
Match Method Select the matching procedure to use. If you selected the vendor from the Vendor lookup, this field displays the match method from the selected vendor's settings on the Vendor tab of the Firms hub.

You can modify this field, using the following guidelines:

  • Deltek recommends that you keep the same match method for a vendor each time that you create a voucher for that vendor.
  • For either match method, Vantagepoint also identifies all of the vendor's service orders.
  • If the item is an inventory item, you must select 3-way Match.

2-way Match: This procedure matches data from the vendor's invoice with data from the vendor's purchase orders. This procedure identifies all of the vendor's item detail lines that are available to voucher. This procedure usually identifies more of a vendor's item detail lines than does the three-way match procedure. You must have the vendor's invoice. It is not necessary to receive the goods or services before you use this procedure.

3-way Match: This procedure matches data from the vendor's invoice and from the receipt for the vendor's shipment with data from the vendor's purchase orders. This procedure identifies all of the vendor's item detail lines that are available to voucher. This procedure usually identifies fewer item detail lines for a vendor than does the two-way match procedure. You must have the vendor's invoice and receive the order before you use this procedure.

Invoice Number Enter the vendor's invoice number.
Invoice Amount The amount that you enter in this field is used as the control total for the voucher batch file. You can leave this field blank until you have the total Payment Amount from the Open to Voucher grid. The invoice amount is the sum of the amounts for the items that you selected to voucher, and their tax amounts, shipping amounts, and fee amounts. Do not include reverse charge taxes in the amount that you enter in the Invoice Amount field. Reverse charge tax amounts are not included in the Payment Amount in the Open to Voucher grid.
Invoice Date Enter the date of the vendor's invoice.
Address This field displays the usual address code for the selected vendor. You can select a different address code.
Voucher Date

Enter the date of the voucher. When you create the voucher, this date is the transaction date in the posting log.

If Vantagepoint is configured to require that transaction dates fall within the current fiscal year or current fiscal period, the date you enter must meet that requirement.

If you use multiple currencies, this date is the basis of the currency exchange between the voucher's transaction currency and its payment currency.

Voucher Enter the voucher number. This field displays only if the Require Entry of Voucher Numbers check box is selected on the Accounts Payable form (Settings > Cash Management > Accounts Payable. If this check box is not selected, then voucher numbers are automatically assigned when you post the voucher.

If you use multiple companies and you enter:

  • A numeric voucher number, it must be within the voucher number range defined for the active company on the Transaction Settings form in Settings > Accounting > Transactions.
  • An alphanumeric voucher number, it must be a number that is not used in the active company.

All transactions created while logged into this company belong to the active company. For example, if company A is the active company when you create a miscellaneous expense transaction file, then you must be logged in to company A to edit or post the file.

To change the active company in the browser application, click the name of the current company on the toolbar and select a company from the drop-down list. To change the active company in the desktop application, select Utilities > Change Company and then select a company on the Company Selection dialog box.

Bank Code

Select the bank code for this file.

If you use multiple currencies, the following guidelines are true:

  • The bank that you select here controls the voucher's payment currency.
  • The Voucher Date controls the exchange rate used to convert the voucher's transaction currency to its payment currency.
  • You must enter data in this field before you can select purchase orders to voucher.
Pay Terms This field displays the selected vendor's usual payment terms. You can select different payment terms.
Payment Date Enter the date when payment is due to this vendor. This field is enabled when the Pay Terms value is Date.

Open to Voucher Grid

Each row in the grid contains a line item from a purchase order. Use this grid to select the line items and purchase orders to voucher. The grid displays all service orders for the selected vendor and all of the purchase orders and line items that are available to voucher for the selected vendor, based on the match method and criteria that you specify on the Vendor Review tab. To display lines for the inventory items that are available to voucher, you must use the 3-way match method.

If you use multiple currencies, the Currency Code specified in the header is the voucher's transaction currency. A grid row is enabled only if its Currency matches this transaction currency. To enable grid rows that have a currency different from the Currency Code specified in the header, you must change the Currency Code in the header so that it matches the currency of the rows you want to enable. Each line item's Open Amount displays in the transaction currency of its purchase order.

If you use multiple companies, and the usual account for tax, shipping, or extra amounts that is specified on the Accounts tab of the Purchasing & Inventory Company Settings form (Settings > Purchasing & Inventory > Company) is not valid for the project's company, Vantagepoint uses the equivalent account that is specified in the item's cost distribution.
