Contents of the Recompute and Print Discrepancies Screen

Use the fields and options to configure the Recompute and Print Discrepancies screen.

Identification

Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.

You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency. The saved parameters are also useful and necessary when you want to run the process as part of a batch job. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. When you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters automatically display as selection defaults. The page setup and print options, if there are any, are also included in the saved parameter ID. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.

Field Description
Parameter ID

Enter, or click to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made on the screen, such as PERIOD or QUARTERLY.

When you save your record, all the selections made on the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query.

You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. After the default selections display on the screen, you can override the defaults.

Description

Enter, or click to select, a parameter description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.

  • All PO Vouchers: Select this setting to include all processed purchase order vouchers.
  • PO Vouchers with Discrepancies: Select this setting to include only those purchase order vouchers that have a discrepancy. The discrepancies can be over or under the current amounts as specified in the Discrepancies Allowed group box on the Configure Purchase Order Voucher Settings screen.

Print/Recompute Discrepancies for Open  PO vouchers

Select this option when you click the drop-down list on the toolbar menu to recompute discrepancies for the selected open purchase order vouchers and print the results.

Recompute Discrepancies for Open PO vouchers

Select this option when you click the drop-down list on the toolbar menu to recompute the discrepancies and, after completion, print the discrepancy reports. After the process starts, you can still cancel the job.

The discrepancy calculations are as follows:

  • Unit Price Discrepancy Amount: Invoice Unit Price minus PO Unit Price
  • Unit Price Discrepancy Percent: (Invoice Unit Price minus PO Unit Price) divided by PO Unit Price
  • Total Discrepancy Line Amount: This calculation depends on the type of matching for the voucher line.

    For 2-way matching:

    Manage Purchase Order Vouchers' Total Before Discount Amount (for all vouchers of that purchase order line) minus Manage Purchase Orders' Total Line Amount (will not include sales tax if sales tax was not charged on the voucher)

    For 3-way matching:

    Manage Purchase Order Vouchers' Total Before Discount Amount (for all vouchers of that purchase order line) minus ((PO Accepted Amount plus PO Rejected Amount - Pay) times (1 + Ship ID Sales Tax Rate)) minus PO Line Charge Cost Amount minus PO Line Charge Sales Tax Amt

  • Quantity Discrepancy Percent

    This calculation depends on the type of matching for the voucher line.

    For 2-way matching:

    (Manage Purchase Order Vouchers' Invoice Quantity (for all vouchers of that purchase order line) minus Manage Purchase Orders' Ordered Quantity) divided by Manage Purchase Orders' Ordered Quantity

    For 3-way matching:

    (Enter PO Vouchers' Invoice Quantity (for all vouchers of that purchase order line) minus (PO Accepted Quantity plus PO Rejected Quantity - Pay)) divided by (PO Accepted Quantity plus PO Rejected Quantity - Pay)
