The Invoice Information tab displays.  It enables you to enter or view invoice information, including invoice header information, non-merchandise charges, and voucher line and distribution information.  Use journal vouchers to correct accounting entries that have already been posted and paid. You do not change any of the amounts on a journal voucher.
  2. Enter Invoice No.
  3. Enter Invoice Date.
  4. Use the Related Voucher field to enter the number of the voucher against which you need to create the journal voucher.  Enter Related Voucher.

Note:  Every Journal Voucher requires 4 Distribution Lines. Journal Vouchers are not "paid" but journal entries attached to a voucher. The Cash Lines need to be added in order to move the cash with the expense. For example:

  1. Expense Line (Reversal of original entry)
  2. Cash Line (Off-set of reversal of original entry line)
  3. Expense Line (New entry)
  4. Cash Line (Off-set of new entry)
  1. Enter valid field values.
  2. Select Save.

Remember: Journal Vouchers can be used to correct accounting entries that have already been posted and paid. You do not change any of the amounts on a journal voucher and the Accounting Date defers to the current date within the open period.

  1. Upon saving, notice that the Voucher ID field changes from "NEXT" to a number generated by ctcLink Payables.

Depending upon your business processes, the next steps would be to Submit for Approval, Budget Check, and Post the Journal Voucher.

On the Invoice Information tab, use the Action drop down box to select Budget Checking and then select Run.

Use the Summary tab to view the various statuses. If Budget Errors exist, select the Exceptions link to view/modify accounting entries.

Remember, Journal Vouchers are zero amount vouchers and used to correct coding, like Fund or Department numbers.

  1. Process complete.
