Header

The Header tab of the JV Transaction Type contains many of the common header fields that can be found on the "Header" topic in the Transactions User Guide.

The Header also contains fields unique to the Journal Voucher and some shared by only a few transaction types. Please see individual field descriptions for system controls that can make certain fields required or prohibited.

Budget Control Reduction	Optional	A flag that, when selected, will reduce the level of error by 1 for any budget availability message issued: Reject becomes Override; Override becomes Warning; Warning remains Warning. The ability to select this flag is controlled by a field of the same name on the Transaction Control page. Only budget availability errors and not errors for deactivated budgets or 'budget line not found’ errors are controlled by this flag.
Fund Balance Control Reduction	Optional	A flag that, when selected, will reduce the level of error by 1 for any fund balance availability message issued: Reject becomes Override; Override becomes Warning; Warning remains Warning. The ability to select this flag is controlled by a field of the same name on the Transaction Control page.

The ability to select this flag is controlled by a field of the same name on the Transaction Control page.
Reversal Date	Conditionally Required	An optional date that will direct the Journal Voucher to update the Future Transaction Triggering page to schedule the creation of a 2^nd Journal Voucher that will reverse the debits and credits of the 1^st Journal Voucher. A date entered must be greater than the Record Date, if entered, or the Application Date if not entered.
Reversal Hold	Optional	A flag to indicate that the reversal Journal Voucher should be loaded with a Transaction Status of Held.
Escrow ID	Optional	This optional field is used to associate all accounting lines to an Escrow ID. A value specified must be valid on the Escrow Definition (ESCROW) page and that does not have the Completed flag checked. Use this field when recording any escrow activity.
Contact Code	Optional	An optional field to record a Contact for a transaction. The field can be required per Transaction Control (DCTRL) setup.
Generic Text 1	Optional	An optional field without an intended use that can be made visible and given an appropriate name along with any needed configurable validation or formula. One such use is a configurable formula to populate a value based on when there is one or more specific chart of account values used that should trigger special workflow routing. For example, an expenditure correction that ‘jumps’ budget lines because there is one or more fund, department, appropriation, and object values. The following is a sample formula to set the field to a value of 1: AMSDocAppMethods.checkWorkflowFlag(this, "FUND_CD, OBJ_CD, DEPT_CD, RSRC_CD, APPR_CD")== true
