General
If you use the approval function of Marathon, suppliers'invoices (vendor invoices), the invoices shall be entered in Accounting: Suppliers'invoices.
The subsystem consists of the tabs Inquiries, purchase orders, preliminary entering, Approval, Watch list and Error/Reminders.
Preliminary entering -scanning
Start the registration process with scanning of the invoice documents in Accounting: Suppliers' invoicing, tab Preliminary entering. Select Scanning. Put some invoices in the Scanner, select Scan. If your scanner not is connected to Marathon, you can use another device for scanning and then use the Import function go fetch the documents into Marathon.
Check the quality of the scanned invoice by clicking on the miniature that is showing on the left side in the screen. Check the box and click Save. If the invoice has several pages, check one page at the time and then Save. Write the AT number on the original invoice (shown in Next AT number).
If you want to delete a scanned invoice, select it and click Delete. Select all checks all scanned documents. Undo puts back scanned and saved – but not registered invoices.
Preliminary entering
Select New in the preliminary entering. The system automatically suggests next arrival number, but you can overwrite it. The arrival number is the number that the invoice got at the scanning and is connected to the scanned document. Compare original invoice with the scanned one in the tab Scanned document. Fill in information about supplier, invoice number, date and invoice amount including VAT. (The VAT amount can be calculated with or without decimals with a parameter setting in System: Base registers/Lev/Parameters, tab Invoices – Show decimals) Select one or several approvers and save, or proceed to Posting.
Posting
The invoice can already now be posted in the Posting tab.
Use the upper table for posting of project purchases. The account for project purchases is already set in the parameters. If you have been using purchase orders , enter PO number and the remaining contents will be automatically updated (client, project, purchase code, purchase price). Otherwise, fill in these fields, the purchase price will be fetched from the invoice registration. The mark-up for the purchase price comes from the purchase code in System: Base registers/Pro/Cost codes Purchases (and in some cases from the project). The sales price is automatically calculated.The system can be set such that the suggested mark-up not can be changed. The setting is in System: Base registers/PA/parameters; tab Purchases and Other, field Change purchase mark-up. In the Adjustments tab there is more alternative in handling mark-ups and sales prices. It is called Special gross purchase as adjustment. When activated, it turns the difference between the suggested and the new sales price into an adjustment.
Use the lower table for posting costs. Write the account number and possible cost centre and -object if the account allows/requires it in the chart of accounts. If the cost shall be allocated over a period (accrued), state cost account only and fill in the fields for periods. The balance sheet account for periodical allocations is fetched from the parameters.
The posting for both project purchases and costs can also be made in the invoice currency. Use the field Amount invoice currency. This enables the sorting of foreign invoices on different projects or accounts.
Use Import template if you want to import a posting template from System: Base registers/PL/Posting templates. Read more in "Create_posting_template".
When all scanned invoices are preliminary entered they shall be sent to the approvers. Use the Send e-mail function in Accounting: Suppliers' invoices tab Watch list. The mail will be sent out to all approvers
The email will be sent to all approvers on unapproved invoices. The invoice is marked with the approver in Accounting: Approval.

You can create Posting templates in System: Base registers/PL/Posting templates. Click on New and write a name for the template. Enter account and possible cost centre/cost objects if the account allows it. The amount can be stated either as percentage or as a monetary amount in your currency. If you choose percentage, you will get a question about the total amount at the time you use the template and calculates the share with help of the percentage.
Approval
The approver can open the invoices in Accounting: Approval for approving and posting. The approval function can also be reached with the link to Approval at the page bottom.
You can see the invoice document with the function Show invoice. If you are authorised you can also approve an invoice without opening it with Direct approval. Select:

Otherwise, fill in these fields, the purchase price will be fetched from the invoice registration. The mark-up for the purchase price comes from the purchase code in System: Base registers/Pro/Cost codes Purchases (and in some cases from the project). The sales price is automatically calculated. You can also use the invoice currency, which makes dividing a foreign invoice in several projects easier. The system can be set such that the suggested mark-up not can be changed. The setting is in System: Base registers/PA/parameters, tab Purchases and Other, field Change purchase mark-up. In the Adjustments tab there is more alternative in handling mark-ups and sales prices. It is called Special gross purchase as adjustment. When activated, it turns the difference between the suggested and the new sales price into an adjustment.
