Enter voucher with assignment to another subsystem
Accounts can be set up with assignment to a subsystem. When registering for an account that is integrated with another subsystem, a red tab with the name of the subsystem will appear. Information belonging to the subsystem is registered in this tab. The most common assignments are described below.
Client payments
The trade debtors’ account is assigned to the sales ledger.
Fill in trade debtors’ account. A new tab opens, S/L.
In the S/L tab, enter the invoice number that has been paid or search invoices with the Import invoices button. A payment file can be imported (requires settings).
The total invoice amount is fetched. If the invoice is partially paid, write the received amount over the amount in the field Rec. amt (your currency).
Foreign currency
Automatic posting of spreads If the accounts for currency rate losses and profits are filled in the payment parameters in Accounting | Backoffice | Base registers, Sales ledger tab, exchange rate differences are posted automatically.
For foreign currencies, no amount is retrieved for the Received (your currency) field; instead, the amount paid into the bank must be entered.
If a foreign invoice has been partially paid, both the Received amount in (your currency) and Received amount in invoice currency fields must be filled in, and the difference will then become a residual item and possibly an exchange rate difference. If the Received amount in (your currency) divided by the exchange rate is not the same as the amount in Received amount in invoice currency, the difference is posted as an exchange rate difference.
Manual posting of spreads If no accounts for currency rate losses and profits are filled in the payment parameters, the amounts will be fetched to the fields for amounts received in your currency and invoice currency respectively. The amounts can be changed if there has been a partial payment and a possible spread must be booked manually.
Contrary posting is made in the G/L tab. Here you can use the Fill button, for posting the rest on the account.
Suppliers’ payments
The trade creditors’ account is assigned to the Purchase ledger.
Enter trade creditors’ account. A new tab appears, P/L.
Write invoice number in the P/L tab or search invoice with the Import invoices function. A payment file can be imported (requires settings).
The total invoice amount is fetched. If the invoice is partially paid, write the received amount over the amount in the field Rec. amt (your currency).
Foreign currency
Automatic posting of spreads If the accounts for currency rate losses and profits are filled in the payment parameters in Accounting | Backoffice | Base registers, Purchase ledger tab, exchange rate differences are posted automatically.
For foreign currencies, no amount is retrieved for the Received (your currency) field; instead, the amount withdrawn from the bank must be entered.
If a foreign invoice has been partially paid, both the Received amount in (your currency) and Received amount in invoice currency fields must be filled in, and the difference will then become a residual item and possibly an exchange rate difference. If the Received amount in (your currency) divided by the exchange rate is not the same as the amount in Received amount in invoice currency, the difference is posted as an exchange rate difference.
Manual posting of spreads If no accounts for currency rate losses and profits are filled in the payment parameters, the amounts will be fetched to the fields for amounts received in your currency and invoice currency respectively. The amounts can be changed if there has been a partial payment and a possible spread must be booked manually.
After registration, enter an account in the G/L tab. Here you can use the Fill button, for posting the rest on the account.
Create excess invoice
By using the Create excess invoice function, an excess payment can be placed directly in the purchase ledger for a supplier whose invoice has not yet arrived. This payment is assigned an LA number.
Select supplier and enter amount when registering.
Project purchases
The account for project purchases is assigned to the project accounting.
Fill in the project purchase account for purchases to be charged to the project, and a new tab called PRO will appear.
Fill in project, purchase code and a purchase price. The sales price is automatically calculated according to the mark-up that has been registered on the purchase code.
Write optional purchase text.
If you use purchase orders, enter PO number when registering project purchases. All information will then be fetched from it.
Periodical allocations
The account for automatic accruals is assigned to Periodical allocations.
Fill in account for periodical allocations for costs that shall be accrued over a period. A new tab appears, Allocation.
Enter the cost account and amount, as well as the period over which the amount is to be distributed. There are two ways to enter the period: YYYYMM – YYYYMM or YYYYMMDD – YYYYMMDD. In the first case, the amount is distributed evenly over the months; in the second case, the amounts are distributed differently depending on how many days there are in the month.
Assets/Inventory
The account for the acquisition of assets is assigned to the Inventory ledger.
Fill in acquisition account for the asset. A new tab appears, INV.
If the acquisition account is only linked to one type of asset, the asset type will be filled in automatically. Otherwise, the asset type must be filled in.
Enter amount and optional description.
Correct a voucher
It is parameter-controlled to be able to click the Correct button on an AT, ER or LF voucher, as the original voucher and not the correction is reversed if the invoice is reversed after a manual correction has been made.
Select the voucher you wish to correct, press Open.
Press Correct.
Answer the question about reversing the voucher.
If the correction is to be saved with its own voucher number, tick the box ‘Save with new voucher number’ and enter the accounting date. The accounting date does not need to be in the same period as the original voucher.
If the correction is to be reversed in another period, select ‘Reverse correction in another period’ and an accounting date at the top. Both the correction and the reversal of the correction will be posted on this date and receive a number from the voucher series in this period. In total, two new vouchers are created – the correction and the reversal of the correction.
Paste data into a voucher
Start by right-clicking on the accounting table without selecting anything and choose Copy. Then paste into Excel. This is exactly how Excel should be structured in order to be copied into a voucher.
