Item Tab (A/P Item Entry)
Use the Item tab to create and edit unposted Administrative Vouchers and view and edit the Payee information for unposted Grant Vouchers.
Note: Grant Vouchers are linked to posted Grants, and although you can update the Payee information, you cannot delete Grants or change the Grant Amount, Fund ID, or Grantee from the Accounts Payable module. If you need to make changes, you must use Grant Adjustments in the Grantee and Grant Management module. Refer to Adjusting Historic Grant Applications in the Grantee and Grant Management module for more information.

Vendor | The Profile ID code of the Vendor or Grantee for the Voucher. Note: You cannot change the ID code for Grant Vouchers. |

Payee (and address fields) | The name that will be printed on the check and the mailing address where the check will be sent. For administrative Vouchers, these fields are automatically populated from the Profile record of the administrative Vendor. For Grant Vouchers, these fields are populated based on the Payee fields on the Contact tab. Note: You can manually change the payee information without changing the Vendor (or Grantee) ID code. |
Voucher Number | Read-only field that displays the sequential number used to identify the Voucher. This number is generated by the system for administrative Vouchers and is the same as the Grant Number for Grant Vouchers. Note: Administrative Open Items will be identified by the Voucher number, and Grant Open Items are identified by the Voucher number (Grant number) plus a sequential number (for example, 01 for the first open item and 02 for the second open item). |
Item Type | Read-only field that indicates whether the Voucher is an administrative Voucher or a Grant Voucher. |
Voucher Number (Unapplied Debit Memos) | The number of the Debit Memo that you want to apply to this Voucher. Click the Unapplied Debit Memos button to select the desired Debit Memo. Note: This field is only available for Administrative Vouchers. |

Process Hold | Checkbox that indicates whether the Voucher is on hold. Items that are on hold cannot be posted and will not appear when you run the Edit report. This can be useful if, for example, you want to enter administrative Vouchers for next month ahead of time, but not post them when you post the Vouchers for the current month. Note: There is a separate Hold option available for Open Items that will keep payments from being made. Refer to the Voucher Tab on the Open Items super tab for more information. |
ACH Payment | Checkbox that indicates whether the Vendor can accept ACH payments for the Voucher. Once selected, you can pick the account (if there is more than one account entered for the Vendor). |

For Debit Memos or Prepaids applied to existing payables in Open Items, this field is automatically populated with the Invoice Number from the original Voucher. |
P O No. | The Purchase Order number associated with the invoice (if your organization uses purchase orders). |
1099 Invoice | Checkbox that indicates whether the Voucher amount will be added to the Vendor’s 1099 amount for the year.

This checkbox is selected by default for Vendors that have the 1099 checkbox selected on the Vendor tab. |
Invoice Date | Required The date on the Vendor’s invoice. The default value is today’s date. NOTE: This field is not required for Grant Vouchers, but the field is automatically populated based on the Grant Date.

It is also the default Apply Date for Debit Memos (the Check date is the default Apply Date for Prepaids). |
Due Date | The date when the payment is due This date is automatically generated based on the Invoice Date and the Vendor’s Terms code.

Apply To | The number of the Voucher that the Hand Check will be applied to. |
Check No. | The number of the check that was used to make the payment. If there is no identification number for the payment (for example, for wire transfers or Interfund Grants), you can enter 999999 in this field. NOTE: Although the Print Checks utility does not allow you to use a Check Number more than once for a specific checking account, this is not prevented for hand checks. This is especially useful when you must change the fund for a payment that has already been made. In this situation, after a Void to restore the payable, and a Debit Memo to change the fund, you must enter a Prepaid with the original check number. |
