Vendors who are subcontractors may be covered by insurance or bonds. If their insurance/bond coverage is unsatisfactory or they are subject to a lien, the vouchers may not be selected for payment. Review the Print Subcontractor Information Report to determine which subcontractors may be in contract default status.

AP Account Description

You can click to find valid Accounts Payable account descriptions.

Table Window

Pay Vendor

This field displays the pay vendor. You associated the pay vendor with the vendor on the Manage Vendor screen. You can change the pay vendor when entering vouchers if the Allow Edits to Pay Vendor on Voucher check box is selected on the Defaults tab of the Manage Vendors screen.

Status

The status of the voucher defaults to Hold unless the voucher was flagged as a PAYWPD (Pay When Paid) voucher. You can use the pay-when-paid feature to hold a voucher for payment until your client pays you.

Enter, or click to select, a setting. The valid status settings are:

  • HOLD: Hold for payment.
  • DEFER: Defer from payment; the voucher will not be selected for payment on the Select Vouchers for Payment screen.
  • PAY: Pay the voucher. If a voucher has this status, a check prints for the voucher the next time the Print Checks routine is run.
  • PAYWPD (Pay when paid): The voucher will not be released for payment until a specific, designated Accounts Receivable bill has been paid in full. You can use the Pay When Paid subtask to identify the Accounts Receivable item(s) that are linked to this pay when paid voucher. See Pay When Paid Items for related information.
Trans Curr

This field displays the transaction currency for this voucher line.

Amount to Pay

This field displays the amount calculated by the Select Vouchers for Payment routine. Costpoint determines the amount with the following calculation:

Invoice Amount - Amount Paid - Discount Rate * (Invoice Amount - Amount Paid) if today's date is earlier than the  discount date - (Retainage Percent * Invoice Amount) =   Amount to Pay

When you change the status of the voucher from Hold to Pay, this field automatically populates with the calculated amount. If the displayed amount is not the amount that should be paid for this voucher, enter a different amount in this field. However, note that the amount cannot be greater than the original invoice amount less any previous payments and less the retainage amount.

If you want to adjust the Amount To Pay, to completely pay off a voucher that previously had a retainage percentage, you must change the Retainage Percentage to zero before you can adjust the Amount To Pay field to pay off the voucher.

Discount To Take

The value in this field should be the amount of the discount you are taking on the next check or electronic funds transfer (EFT) to be prepared. Costpoint calculates this value when you run the Select Vouchers for Payment screen. The value in this field and the Amount To Pay field are added to the balance in the Amount Paid field after the check is printed, then zeroed out.

This field contains a value only if a discount is being taken on the check that is about to be printed. If you edit this field, it cannot exceed the value in the Discount Amount field, which is the total potential discount amount available to be taken. If no discount is being taken, this field should be zero.

Address Code

Enter, or click to select, a valid address code. The address code is assigned to the voucher when it is entered. It must be a valid address code set up via the Manage Vendor screen. You can edit the code in this screen.

Pay Method

This field displays the vendor payment method.

Note: If the vendor has a non-US address, this field displays EFT Non-US.
Sep Chk

If each voucher for this vendor must be paid on a separate check, select this check box.

If any voucher has a pay vendor ID that is different from the vendor ID and cannot be changed, this column is selected.

Note: You can only use this check box if the vendor payment method is either Check, EFT Prenote, or EFT Non-US. You cannot use it when the payment method is EFT.

This field displays the description associated with the cash account/organization combination to which the voucher was assigned when entered.

To change this description you can enter, or click to select, a valid cash account description.

Retainage Rate

This field displays the retainage rate, but can be edited. If a voucher had a retainage rate when it was entered and is ready to be fully paid, you should change the rate to zero. After the rate is zero and the voucher is selected for payment, a check for the retainage amount previously withheld will print the next time the Print Checks routine is run.

Amount Retained

This field displays the total voucher amount that has been retained, but can be edited. You can set this field to zero when the voucher is ready to be fully paid.
