Adding System Accounts for Accounts Payable

Overview

Use this job aid to add system accounts for Accounts Payable. System account codes for the Agris Accounts Payable System (ACP) are maintained by using this job aid. System account (transaction) codes defined under Accounts Payable are indicated on the audit reports of other packages by *P. If none of the optional boxes are specified, the transaction code's source is considered to be "generic". Each transaction is matched with a specific source. Any transaction without a specific source uses the generic source. For example: the generic AP transaction code is usually set to update the ledger account for Accounts Payable Trade and if used with a voucher type for notes payable is usually set to update the ledger account for Notes Payable.

To add system accounts for accounts payable:

1. From the Toolbar, click SJI for System Journal Interface.

2. Select System Accounts, and then select Accounts Payable.

   Open

   

    

3. In the optional Name Id Type box, click Lookup or type * and press Enter, and then select the name id type, or type the name id type. The name id type is used in conjunction with most transaction codes to direct the G/L distribution to a special ledger account. For example: a name ID type for intra-company may be used with the AP transaction code to update intra-company payables.

4. In the optional Voucher Type box, click Lookup or type * and press Enter, and then select the voucher type, or type the voucher type. The voucher type distinguishes various types of accounts payable transactions in Accounts Payable and may be used with most of the Accounts Payable transaction codes to direct the G/L distribution to a specific general ledger account. For example, if the Agris Commodity Accounting System is integrated to the Agris Accounts Payable System for updating Accounts Payable for freight or hauling expenses, the voucher type may indicate a hauling expense voucher.
