Hi:
I just saw a training video where the person entered an A/P Purchase Journal.
For "Document Amount", he entered a positive figure.
Since he had already entered a Vendor ID in this record and since "Vendor ID" designates a credit to Accounts Payable, should the figure in "Document Amount" not have been negative?
Thanks!
John
Hi,
Document Amount must be entered positive based on document type system will take the Amount and Amount (LCY) column as positive or negative for example below are entries made of invoice and payment in Purchase Journal. Amount column will be updated based on document type and document amount.
| Document Type | Account Type | Account No | Document Amount | Amount | Bal Account Type | Bal Account No |
| Invoice | Vendor | V001 | 100 | -100 | G/L Account | 10250 |
| Payment | Vendor | V001 | 100 | 100 | G/L Account | 10250 |
Invoice- Vendor/AP (CR) and Balance Account No (DB)
Payment- Vendor/AP (DB and Balance Account No(CR)
