Creating AP Voucher Lines

The AP voucher lines specify which products and services you want to include on the AP voucher. You can add lines from the associated purchase order and you can add lines that are not on the purchase order but are present on the supplier invoice. You can change the quantity and unit cost of a line from a purchase order if the quantity or unit cost on the supplier invoice line is different. The column header of the AP voucher line section remains fixed when an AP voucher with multiple lines is created to enable you to easily track your AP voucher line data.

Purchase order lines must be received before an AP voucher line can be created.

The following table shows which of the purchase order line record types require a receipt:
