Contents

Field	Description
File Name	Enter a file name for the voucher batch file that will be created.
Close Fully Vouchered POs	Select this check box if you want the purchase order to be closed after the full amount of all its line items is put into vouchers.
Diary	This field displays only if you have set up a diary in Accounting System Settings Configuration for the fiscal period or fiscal year in which you are entering 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 an accounts payable payment processing 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 tab in Configuration > Accounting > System Settings that have the same fiscal period or fiscal year in which you are entering transactions, or no fiscal period or year entered for them. If you have multiple companies, the Diary 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.
