AP Apply Documents Record View
The purpose of the Apply Documents record view is to apply open Credit Memos and manual payments to open purchasing transactions. The page header shows information pertaining to the Credit Memo or manual payment and the page detail shows all the 'Open' AP Invoices for the Vendor. To be considered 'Open' the payable transaction must have an 'Open Amount' greater than 0.00.
From here, users can apply the Credit Memo or manual payment to one or more open invoice transactions by entering the 'Apply Date', 'Applied Amount', and any applicable 'Terms Discount Taken' amount. When the application is saved, the Vendor Balances and Vendor Aging are updated. Applications that have an amount in the 'Discount Amount' will generate a Discount Amount journal entry. Applications for foreign currency vendors have the potential to also make a currency gain / loss journal entry.
This same page is also used in Fisherman Accounting to apply open Payment Receipts and other Fishing transactions to open fishing transactions.

Page Header
Toolbar Icons | Description |
|---|---|
| Grid Layout | Opens the Saved Grid Layout menu that allows the user to select another saved layout, create a new layout, save changes to a layout, or assign a saved layout as the default for the page. Once changes are made to a grid, such as columns are added or removed, the user can click the Saved Grid Layout icon and save the changes to the grid layout and name the new layout. The new layout can also be set as the default, instead of the System View. This is useful for creating specific views to separate master files or transaction types (i.e. Invoice specific vs. Credit Memo specific).

The fields sorted at the bottom of this section, prefixed with "MC:" are only visible on multi-currency transactions.
