A/P Open Item AdjustmentApplication Overview
The A/P Open Item Adjustment application has two separate and distinct functions.
First, it allows changes to be made to the due date, discount date, and discount balance of an A/P open item. These changes may be required because of an entry error when the transaction was originally entered or for some other reason. This amounts to changing the terms on an invoice.
Second, it allows entry of manual payments made toward vendor invoices. Generally, for some reason, a check has been written manually (not printed by the computer) to pay vouchers and it now must be entered into the system.
These two functions are performed with two different transaction types. These types are T (Change Voucher Terms) and M (Manual Payment). The changes to be made are entered at the terminal and are stored in a temporary file called the Open Item Adjustment Transaction File. Once the data has been entered and verified as correct, it can be posted to the Open Item File. An Open Item Adjustment Register is printed, which can be used as an audit trail for these adjustments.
A single manual check may pay several different vendor invoices. This is done by entering a separate transaction for each vendor invoice paid. To verify that the check amount matches what was entered, print the Open Item Adjustment List and compare the check total against the actual check amount.
In order for vouchers being paid by a manual check to be shown as fully paid, you must run Manual Check Register Report from the Reports pull down window after posting Open Item Adjustments. Run Instructions
