Article Summary


Run the A/P Item Edit Report

The A/P Item Edit report provides a detailed review of the selected Vouchers and the journal entries that will result when you post them. You must run an error-free Edit report before you can post your Vouchers to become Open Items.

The report will also check for errors in the Voucher entry process (for example, trying to pay the same invoice twice). The report will list these errors, and you will have to correct them before you can post the items.

Refer to A/P Item Edit Report Errors and Warnings as described in the section below for more information.

  1. In the Accounts Payable module, click the Item Entry super tab, and then click the Processes tab.

  2. Select A/P Item Edit from the A/P Processes list, and then click the Run Process button. The A/P Item Edit Selections window opens.
