FieldsDescription
Amount

An editable text box to enter the amount of the adjustment, in the checkbook's currency. Once the 'Checkbook' has been selected and the transaction has been saved, this will display in the format of the checkbook's currency. This defaults to 0.00 but must be a non zero value to Approve or Post. If not, the message "Amount cannot be 0.00." will appear on Save.

  • A positive 'Amount' increases the checkbook's balance by debiting the Checkbook's GL Account. 
  • A negative 'Amount' decreases the checkbook's balance by crediting the Checkbook's GL Account.

This 'Amount' will be value that is auto-assigned to the first line of the Adjustment Lines Grid as either a Debit or Credit.   

Linked Database Field: ERPx_MFCheckbookTransaction.Amount

Checkbook

A single-select combo box to select the Checkbook the adjustment is being made for. This field is editable when the Status is "New". If the Checkbook is changed, the GL Account on the auto-assigned row (first row in the grid) will be updated to be the new Checkbook's GL Account. The data for manually entered lines will remain unchanged but the currency format of the Debit and Credit columns will be updated to match the currency format of the checkbook.

This defaults to blank but is required to add detail rows to the grid and to Approve or Post. If missing, the message "Checkbook is required." will be displayed when the 'New' icon in the Adjustment Lines Grid is clicked.

This lookup contains a blank value, the current assigned value, and a list of all the 'Active' Checkbooks, sorted by Checkbook, displayed as:

  • If the Checkbook's Currency is the 'Home Currency' then [Checkbook]
  • If the Checkbook's Currency is NOT the 'Home Currency' then [Checkbook] +([Checkbook Currency])

Status

A single-select standard lookup to assign the Transaction Status. This defaults to "New" but can be changed to "Approved" or "Ready to Post".  Updating the Status does the following:

  • New: This is the default value. While in the Status of New all editable fields are open for edit, no posting/approval validations are performed, GL Dates are not assigned, and journal entries are not created. If the transaction was moved back from Approved to New, the GL Date will remain as previously assigned.  
  • Approved: Performs all the data validations required to post the transaction. If one or more validations fail, messages are provided indicating what needs to be corrected. If all the validations pass, then all the fields are disabled except for the Status lookup (and any fields that are always editable), and blank 'GL Dates' are assigned.   
  • Ready to Post: Runs the Approval validations. If one or more validations fail, messages are provided indicating what needs to be corrected. If all the validations pass, then all the fields are disabled with the exception any fields that are always editable and updates the Transaction Status to "Posted".

If missing, the message "Trans. Date is required." will be displayed on Save. This field is only editable while the transaction Status is "New".

  • If the Adjustment Checkbook is in the 'Home Currency' this will the set to "Multiply by 1.0000".
  • If the 'From Currency' on the Exchange Table matches the Adjustment currency, then the 'Calculation Method' will default from the 'Calculation Method' on the Exchange Table.
  • If the 'From Currency' on the Exchange Table matches the 'Home Currency', the 'Calculation Method' will be the opposite as it is on the Exchange Table.

This is formatted as: [Calculation Method] by [Rate]. For Example, "Multiply by 1.0250" or "Divide by 1.0250".

The 'Rate' is looked-up using the 'Trans. Date', not the 'GL Date'. This field is only visible, and required to Approve and/or Post, when the Checkbook's currency is NOT in the 'Home Currency'. This is displayed as: From [Rate From] to [Rate to]. For example, "From 10/01/19 to 10/07/19".

MC: Exchange Table

A non-editable text box that displays the 'Exchange Table ID' used to convert the Adjustment amount from the Checkbook's Currency to the Home Currency for the Journal Entry and to populate the 'Home Amount' column for this transaction, on the Checkbook Transaction Inquiry.

This is assigned as the first Exchange Table containing both the 'Home Currency' and the foreign currency on the adjustment, with a valid 'Rate' (exchange rate) for the 'Trans. Date'. If there are no Rates that cover the 'Trans. Date' then the last Rate will be used. If there are no Exchange Tables containing both the 'Home Currency' and the foreign currency then this will be blank and the message "A valid exchange does not exist between [TransactionCurrencyID] and [HomeCurrencyID]." will be displayed on Save after the Status is changed to Approve and/or Ready to Post.

MC: Home Currency AmountA non-editable text box that displays the calculated amount of the Adjustment in the 'Home Currency' amount.

Adjustment Lines Grid

The purpose of the Adjustment Lines grid is to assign the GL Account(s) that will be used on an adjustment. In order to Approve and/or Post the transaction, the grand total of the Debits must equal the grand total of the Credits. This first line in the grid is auto-assigned from the 'Amount' on the header. The additional lines are used to code the adjustment offset to the correct GL Account(s). The auto-added line will always sort to the top and the rest of the lines will be sorted by GL Account, Debit Amount, and Credit Amount.
