AP Invoices represent transactions that carry amounts the company owes for purchasing goods or services from a Vendor. AP Credit Memos represent transactions that carry amounts owed to the company because of returns and/or credits on goods or services previously purchased from a Vendor. The purpose of this page is to view, add, edit, remove, and post AP Invoices and Credit Memos. Additionally, users can Mass Update the GL Date, Pmt/Apply Hold, and Status of multiple transactions at once.
This list view also contains columns for each Attribute that is set up for the 'AP Purchasing' attribute type. Because these are user defined, they are not included in the default view but can be added a saved layout. AP Purchasing attributes are not included in the help documentation.

| Status | Identifies the Status of the transaction. This is required and can be edited from the 'Status' on the 'Home' tab of the Invoice/Credit Memo Record View and represents the status of the transaction.

The Statuses that apply to transactions in this List View include: New: This is the default Status for all new Transactions. While in the Status of 'New' transactions are considered open and all editable fields are open for edit, no posting or 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 be assigned and a Journal Entry will exist. Approved: Performs all the data validations required to post the transaction and applies to all Transactions. While in the Status of 'Approved' transactions are considered open but have limited fields open for edit. 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), journal entries are created/updated, journal ID's are assigned to the journal entry, and blank 'GL Dates' are assigned. Ready to Post: Runs the Approval validations and applies to all transactions. While in the Status of 'Ready to Post' transactions are considered closed and all the fields are disabled with the exception of a few fields that are always editable. If one or more validations fail, messages are provided indicating what needs to be corrected.

Database Field: ERPx_APTransactionHeader.TransactionID |
| Transaction Class | The unique identifier of the Transaction Class. This is required and comes from the 'Transaction Class' on the 'Properties' tab of the Invoice/Credit Memo Record View.

Database Fields: ERPx_APTransactionClass.TransactionClassDescription, ERPx_APTransactionHeader.TransactionClassSK |
| Transaction Type | Identifies the Transaction Type for each transaction. This is required and comes from the Transaction Type selected when starting a new transaction. This is never editable.

Database Fields: ERPx_APTransactionType.TransactionName, ERPx_APTransactionHeader.TransactionClassSK |
| Vendor | Identifies the ID of the Vendor account that is assigned to the transaction. This is required and represents the ID of the 'Vendor' on the 'Home' tab of the Invoice/Credit Memo Record View. This is only editable by changing the Vendor assigned to the transaction.

| Vendor Class | Identifies the class that is assigned to the Vendor on the transaction. This is required and comes from the 'Vendor Class' assigned to the 'Vendor' that is selected on the 'Home' tab of the Invoice/Credit Memo Record View. Because this defaults from the Vendor it is not editable on the transaction. Vendor Classes are used to identify default values that will be applied to new Vendor accounts and to group Vendor accounts together for reporting purposes. Database Field: ERPx_APVendorClass.ClassDescription, ERPx_APTransactionHeader.VendorSK |
| Vendor Name | Identifies the name of the Vendor assigned to the transaction or master file. This is set in the Vendor Record View. This is required and represents the name of the 'Vendor' on the 'Home' tab of the Invoice/Credit Memo Record View. This is only editable by changing the Vendor assigned to the transaction. Vendor Names are used as a long description for Vendors. Database Fields: ERPx_APVendor.VendorName, ERPx_APTransactionHeader.VendorSK |
