9.2 Entering Adjustment Vouchers

Purpose:  Use adjustment vouchers to adjust existing vouchers amount or to relate two vouchers to each other. It can also be used to process credit and debit memos against a voucher that has been posted and thus cannot be modified. This section discusses entering adjusting information manually or copying the voucher that you want to adjust into the adjustment voucher.

Audience:  Finance/Accounts Payable staff.

You must have at least one of these local college managed security roles:

  • ZD Accounts Payable Inquiry

  • ZZ_AP_SPECIALIST

You must also set these User Preference Definitions:

If you need assistance with the above security roles or User Preference Definitions, please contact your local college supervisor or IT Admin to request role access.

Adjustment Voucher can be created to correct incorrect data entry if a voucher has already been posted, but just needs to be adjusted. These vouchers can be linked to the Regular voucher that needs adjustment. When Adjustment Vouchers are posted, the accounting entries are updated.

For example: A supplier overcharged you for products you ordered.  One of your suppliers over charged you for your company's staff lunch meeting. Using an Adjustment Voucher will help correct the amount.
