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 orders and you can add lines that are not on the purchase order but are present on the supplier invoice.

An AP voucher can contain lines from multiple purchase orders as long as they are of the same type, either "Approved Internal Purchase Order" or "Approved Drop Ship Purchase Order", and share the same currency. If Order and Inventory Management – Accounting Connector is installed in your org, the purchase orders must also belong to the same Accounting company. By including AP voucher lines from multiple purchase orders, you can voucher multiple purchase orders in a single transaction.

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.

The AP voucher currency is derived from:

  1. The purchase order lines, if it contains any
  2. The associated purchase order, if there is no purchase order line added
  3. The associated supplier site, if there is no purchase order specified and no purchase order line added

If an AP voucher has both a purchase order and a supplier site specified, the AP voucher currency is derived from the associated purchase order.

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