A/P INVOICE PROCESSING MENU (APINV)
The A/P Invoice Processing Menu provides options for maintaining invoices and for the posting
of the invoice batches to Open Items. Invoice batches allow multiple users to enter and process
invoices separately. Invoices are available for A/P check processing when posted to Open Items
(refer to Invoice Post To Open Items [INVPOST]).
Tip: Purchase orders line items attached to an invoice are unencumbered when the invoice is
entered. If a PO line item is removed from the invoice, the invoice is deleted or the check is
voided, the receivers can be restored to the PO for re-invoicing if the Restore Receivers flag on
the A/P District Header (APHDR) is “yes” or “no.” If receivers are not restored, refer to P.O.
Receiver Transfer (RECVTRA) in the Purchase Order Manual to reset the receivers if the
invoice has to be re-entered.
Tip: Invoice transaction (IT) journal entries are temporarily posted to the Finance Monthly file
to account for the amount of the invoices until the batch is posted to Open Items. The line item
ASN is debited; the A/P ASN is credited for computer checks, the Cash ASN is credited for
manual checks. If the AP/Cash ASN From Bank File flag on the A/P District Header (APHDR)
is “yes,” the A/P and Cash ASNs are pulled from the Bank file. If “no,” the ASNs are pulled
from the Fund file (refer to Fund Maintenance [FUNDMAINT] in the Budget/Finance Manual).
The journal number for these entries starts with "@" and is followed by the batch ID. These
entries are replaced with the posting journal, using the batch ID as the journal number, when the
batch is posted to Open Items.
Tip: Open Items Maintenance (OPENMAINT) allows for maintaining the invoices posted to
Open Items.
Tip: Refer to Remove Invoice Batch (RMVBATCH) to delete an entire batch of invoices
without posting the batch.
Tip: Purchase order line items marked as Fixed Assets are tracked through to Open Items and
automatically loaded to the Fixed Assets PO Work file when the check run is updated. Invoice
line items not attached to a PO are also loaded to the PO Work file if the line item is identified as
a fixed asset. If a check is voided with fixed assets line items, the items are included on the Void
Check Update – Fixed Asset Line Items (CD0452) report (refer to Void Check Update
[VOIDUPD]). Refer to PO District Header (POHDR) in the Purchase Order Manual and refer
to Send To Fixed Assets (FASENDTO) in the Fixed Assets Manual for setting the flags and
threshold limits for capturing and identifying fixed asset items. Refer to the Fixed Assets Work
File Menu (FAWORK) for processing the captured items.
