For transactions auto-generated from a Grower Ticket, this defaults to the value 'Created from Grower Ticket'. 

Database Field: ERPx_APTransactionHeader.Description

Doc Date

Identifies the date of the transaction. This is a date picker to assign/edit a date for the transaction (to control Aging and payment term dates). This defaults to blank on New and is required to Approve or Post the transaction. If missing, the message "Doc Date is required." will be displayed on Save. The Doc Date must be on or before the GL Date when Approving or Posting the Invoice/Credit Memo.

Database Field: ERPx_APTransactionHeader.DocNumber

Freight PO Amt. 

Displays the total amount of source Freight Purchase Order. This is only applicable and visible for AP Invoices linked to a Freight Purchase Order, and only includes line items that were automatically added (not manually added lines). This is a calculated field that is not stored in the database.

PO #

A Purchase Order # (aka PO #) is the unique identifier of a Purchase Order.

This is a text box that is not required and is editable when the transaction is in a Status of "New". If a valid PO# is not entered, the 'PO # lookup' will open to provide a way to search for "valid" PO's. 

Once a valid PO# has been selected, or manually entered, all the Purchase Order line items (with a remaining quantity) that are not already on the transaction will be auto-added to the transaction and both the 'PO #' and 'Vendor Name' values will be set and disabled.  

The 'Find PO#' window searches across all "valid" PO's. If a 'Vendor Name' has been entered on the transaction then only "valid" PO's for that Vendor will be returned, if the 'Vendor Name' is blank then all valid PO's will be returned across all Vendors. 

A 'PO #' is considered valid for AP Invoices based on:

  1. The 'PO Type' of the Purchase Order
    1. PO Type of "Multiple Invoices and Receipts" are always considered
    2. PO Type of "Single Invoice and Receipt" are considered if the Purchase Order has not been assigned to an AP Invoice
  2. The 'Status' of the Purchase Order
    1. New - Only if the 'First Status POs can be Received or Invoiced' property on the Purchase Order Class is set to "New".
    2. Released - always considered valid
    3. Closed - Never considered valid

A 'PO #' is considered valid for AP Credit Memos based on:

  1. The 'PO Type' of the Purchase Order is not evaluated
  2. The 'Status' of the Purchase Order is not evaluated

(lightbulb) The Reference will not default from the Reference on a linked Purchase Order. These are treated as separate reference fields.

A Reference number is used to record an additional tracking number that associates this transaction to another system. For example, if a transaction was imported from a 3rd party system this could be used to store the unique identifier from that system's transaction. 

Database Field: ERPx_APTransactionHeader.Reference 

Status

Identifies the Status of the transaction. This is a single-select lookup that is required. It defaults as "New" and is always editable until the transaction is Posted.

The Statuses that apply to transactions in this Record 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. 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".

Posted: Signifies the transaction has been posted and/or applied to a transactions (e.g. Payment Receipt). When a transaction is posted, it updates the General Ledger and/or On Hand Item Balances. While in the Status of 'Posted' transactions are considered closed and all the fields are disabled with the exception of a few fields that are always editable.

Void: Signifies a previously posted transaction has been voided. This status is only available for transactions that support voiding posted records (not all transactions support this). Voided transactions remain in the database and can be viewed from history inquiries.

Replaced: Signifies the transaction was voided or corrected. When a transaction is corrected or Voided, the Status of the original transaction is changed to 'Replaced' and a new transaction is cloned and marked as 'Void'. This is done to ensure that a reversal journal entry can be created and posted in an open fiscal period to record the Void.

(lightbulb) When an AP Invoice that is linked to a Purchase Order is Posted, if the Purchase Order Type is "Single Invoice and Receipt" and a receipt has already been posted, the Purchase Order Status will be auto-changed to "Closed".

Ln.

Identifies the Line # for each Transaction Line Item. The Line # sets the sort of the items on grids, list views, inquiries, and reports. This is an editable text box that defaults to the next available base-10 number. It is required, and is editable while the transaction is in a Status of "New". To re-sequence the line items, edit one or more lines with a new positive number that would put the line item where you want it sorted, and click the Save button. On save, the line items will be resorted, and the Ln. values will be re-set to base-10 values.

For example, if you had line items 10, 20, and 30 and you wanted the last one (Ln. 30) to be second, you could edit the value to any number between 10 and 20 (i.e., 15) and on save the lines would be sorted in the new sequence (10, 15, and 30) and then all Ln.'s would be re-set to base 10 numbers (10, 20, 30).

Quantity

Identifies the quantity of the line item.This is a numeric text box and is editable while the transaction is in a Status of "New"

For transaction lines that are not linked to a Purchase Order this defaults to 0 and is formatted, after save, to the Item's 'Unit Decimals' or 'Weight Decimals' depending on the line items UOM. If the line item is a Fixed Weight item that requires whole units, then on Save:

  1. If a user enters a quantity and a weight UOM we check all conversions back to unit UOMs to verify that the weight value can actually convert back when we create a receipt.
  2. If no conversions are found then the following alert will be displayed to the user but will still allow the line item to save.

    1. Alert “Warning: Item [ItemID]: Qty does not convert to any UOMs on the [UOMScheduleID] UOM Schedule.”
  1. If a user enters a fractional quantity and selects a unit UOM the following alert will be displayed to the user but will still allow the line item to save.
    1. Alert “Warning: Item [ItemID]: Requires whole units and you have saved a fractional unit.”

 These alerts are only displayed where applicable for new lines being added, or if an existing line Quantity or UOM are being updated. 


An Item is a 'Fixed Weight' item that requires whole units when the following properties are set as:

  • Manage Items By = "Units and Weight"
  • Variable Weight = "No"
  • Require Whole Units = "Yes" 


For transaction lines that are assigned to a PO #, this will default as [PO Line Ordered Qty] - [AP Posted Quantity] - [AP UnPosted Quantity] or 0.00 whichever is greater.

  • The [AP Posted Quantity] refers to the Quantity from "Posted" AP Invoices and Credit Memo lines. 
  • The [AP UnPosted Quantity] refers to the Quantity from "UnPosted" AP Invoices and Credit Memo lines.

(lightbulb) For AP Invoice transactions, a positive 'Quantity' represents a purchase and a negative quantity represents a credit. Negative quantities are allowed provided the transactions total 'Amount' is greater than or equal to 0.00. A Quantity of 0.00 can be used for a line item that was not included on the Invoice.

(lightbulb) For AP Credit Memo transactions, a positive 'Quantity' represents a credit and a negative quantity represents a purchase.  Negative quantities are allowed provided the transactions total 'Amount' is greater than or equal to 0.00. A Quantity of 0.00 can be used for a line item that was not included on the Credit Memo.
