Posting Invoices through General Journal

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 85

We were told that for standard payment we could set up a standard journal, pull the entry, post, and we could go into the payment journal and print the cheque.

While this is all true, what we weren't told was that when posting invoices in the general journal the external document number is automatically populated with your user ID, which then prints on your cheques in the area you designate to feed the external document number (i.e. the invoice number).  Any one else encounter the same problem and have any solutions?

    Why aren't you using the puchase journal?

    Fill in the External Document No  with the Vendors Invoice #

    We are using the journal to make use of the get standard entry function.  This is for recurring invoices with a large number of lines and invoices we don't want to have to key in every month.

    Try to tick off the option 'Ext. Doc. No. Mandatory' in the Purchase setup
