UPDATE DISCOUNT METHOD FOR POSTED VOUCHERS

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.

DO NOT run this tool until you speak with a Deltek Support representative. Make a complete backup of your system before you run this application.

Options

Post to G/L Discount Method

Gross – Without Discounts

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.

Net – Including Discounts

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.
