Header

The Header tab on the Invoice (IN) transaction is used to record general information regarding the vendor’s invoice.

Required/Conditionally Required FieldsRequired/Conditionally Required Fields

The following fields are required:

  • Invoiced Date

  • Invoiced Location

  • Vendor

  • Vendor Invoice Number

Note: The Invoiced Date defaults to the current system date if the Invoiced Date Inference on IN Transaction (IN_DT_INFER) parameter on the Application Parameters page is set to True. However, if you have manually entered a value in the Invoiced Date field, this value will not be overwritten. If this parameter is set to False, then the Invoiced Date is not defaulted and must be manually entered.  

The following field is conditionally required based on site specific setup on the Transaction Control (DCTRL) table:

  • Transaction Name

If the Enforce Transaction Department Validation field on the Transaction Control (DCTRL) page is selected, the values entered in the following field are validated against the Transaction Department to verify that the value entered is authorized for that specific Transaction Department:

  • Invoiced Location

Tax AdjustmentsTax Adjustments

When sales or use tax is recorded for a purchase, the amount calculated by the vendor may be a couple of cents different from what is calculated in Advantage. An optional Tax Adjustment feature exists to ensure that the vendor is paid the amount of tax expected. Two header fields exist for this feature:

  • Total Vendor Invoice Tax Amount allows a user to enter the invoiced tax amount from the vendor’s invoice. This feature is used when the invoiced tax amount is different from the system calculated tax usually due to rounding differences. The transaction will compare the entered amount with the Calculated Tax Before Adjustment amount.

  • Calculated Tax Before Adjustment amount displays the total tax calculated by the system. If there is a difference between the entered and calculated amounts, the system will apply the tax difference to the first commodity line with tax. Additional details and other fields related to the tax adjustment feature are on the commodity line.
