Estimated Voucher Creation

Menu Path: None

To use Estimated Voucher Creation, click the Create Estimated button in the ribbon in Charge Entry for Shipment.

Purpose

Create estimated vouchers for shipment charges.

Overview

Use Estimated Voucher Creation to select the posting period/year, batch, and A/P accounts for estimated vouchers for shipment charges, and then automatically create the estimated vouchers. You can use estimated vouchers to record inbound estimated shipment charges before you know the exact charge amount. Estimated vouchers cannot be paid or reconciled.

NOTE The estimated voucher is not created until you finish creating or editing the shipment. Until that point, the voucher is considered a pending voucher, and can be cancelled in Linked Inbound/Estimated Voucher Inquiry.
