Use this utility to update your discount method for posted vouchers if the discount method changed since the original vouchers were posted. This utility correctly sets the discount method for the voucher so that Costpoint interprets it correctly on the Print Open Accounts Payable Report. Changing the discount method does not correct any previously posted invoice or payment amounts. To correct any errors in the general ledger, you make journal entries.
This tool requires advanced accounting knowledge and should not be attempted by anyone who is unfamiliar with the financial reporting process.
This field is set to One by default. You cannot change this setting.
Enter, or click to select, the fiscal year that displays on the voucher.
Use the fields in this group box to select the criteria for choosing the vouchers.
Use this drop-down list to select the range of vouchers to be included. Valid options are:
All — Select this option to include all available vouchers. The Start and End fields are disabled for this option. This is the default.
One — Select this option to include only one voucher and then enter that voucher in the Start field. The End field is disabled for this option.
Range — Select this option to include a contiguous range of vouchers. Enter the beginning voucher for the range in the Start field and enter the ending voucher of the range in the End field.
From Beginning — Select this option to include a range of vouchers that begins with the first of all the available vouchers and ends with the voucher that you enter in the End field. The Start field is disabled for this option.
To End — Select this option to include a range of vouchers that begins with the specific voucher that you enter in the Start field and ends with the last of all the available vouchers. The End field is disabled for this option.
Enter, or click to select, the starting voucher for the range that you want to include. If you select All or From Beginning in the Option field, this field is inactive.
Enter, or click to select, the ending voucher for the range that you want to include. If you select All, One, or To End in the Option field, this field is inactive.
Select this option to change the voucher discount method to gross (the most commonly used method). This method posts charges to the general ledger without subtracting the discount amount. When you post cash disbursements, any discounts taken are posted as a credit to the general ledger, either against individual line items or against one discount account.
Select this option to change the voucher discount method to net. This means that Costpoint posts charges to the general ledger, including the discount amount. Discounts cannot be taken on vouchers that are posted using the net method, because the posted amount is already net of the discount.
