Register supplier invoice

In this procedure you register and final record incoming supplier invoices.

Depending on your internal authorization flow and also depending on if you are using the option Electronic invoice management (EIM), the work flow in this procedure might vary. This chapter describes application without EIM. Se separate documentation for application with EIM.

With a system setting you can also activate preliminary recording of supplier invoices. Then a posting will be made against preliminary accounts when the invoice is registered prior to the final recording. If you apply preliminary entry of supplier invoices at registration, you can choose if the VAT should be reported during preliminary entry or final recording. Preliminary entry is selected by default.

You can distinguish between two types of invoices based on if there are corresponding purchase orders (material invoices) or invoices without purchase orders (expense invoices).

Material invoices

One of the work flows when registering material invoices is to first enter the purchase order number in the heading row. The supplier in question will then become loaded and some of the information from the invoice header will also be loaded from the purchase order. Then add the rest of the invoice information. It is also possible to manually enter a supplier without entering an order number.

The Order link tab

Under this tab you can link the supplier invoice to the right purchase order. If the order has already been entered, it means that the order/order rows are selected by default. In the Order rows box you see the row information you can link to the invoice. It is possible to adjust prices etc. if nonconformities exist. You can also add more rows which have been added on the invoice (for example freight costs). If the invoice should not be final recorded (e.g. if it should be sent for authorization or await arrival of gods) you save the invoice. The selected order rows will then be preliminary linked to the invoice.

If the invoice is fully processed and it corresponds to the purchase order then you should click the Final record button at the bottom of the tab. The invoice is now ready for payment. The posting of the invoice is printed in a supplier invoice journal. When using direct integration the posting is automatically entered in the accounting.

Expense invoices

When there is no purchase order you start by selecting the supplier and enter the invoice information. You post the invoice in the Posting box in the lower part of the procedure. Here you can enter the invoice's purchase accounts. It is also possible to enter a default purchase account in the supplier register. This will then be used in cases where there is no purchase order.

If the invoice should not be final recorded directly, but only registered, then you finish by saving in the procedure.

In connection with final recording the invoice you load the invoice and check the Final entry checkbox in the Posting box. Posting will automatically be done on accounts for e.g. VAT and accounts payable. Complement with purchase accounts or confirm the postings which were created during the registration of the invoice. The invoice is now ready for payment. Posting of invoice is printed in the supplier invoice journal. When using direct integration the posting is automatically entered in the accounting.

Use the tab Recent invoices to see how invoices from the same supplier have previously been recorded. It is also possible to copy the posting from there and past it in the current invoice.

Cancel invoice

You can cancel supplier invoices e.g. if it is registered by mistake or registered in an incorrect way. It is possible to cancel an invoice as long as there are no payment entries for it. Depending on the status of the invoice an automatic offset of the invoice is made which can be printed in the Print supplier invoice journal procedure. If the invoice is linked to a purchase order when canceling the invoice, then this link will be deleted. The purchase order can then be linked to another invoice. An invoice that is canceled is not deleted. Instead, it is given status Canceled, and by default it is not visible in all the different reports, and it cannot be paid or modified. It is not possible to undo a cancellation.

How to cancel a supplier invoice

1. Enter the consecutive number of the supplier invoice you want to delete and then click the button Cancel on the toolbar.
2. In the window that appears called Comment for cancellation you must enter why the invoice is being canceled.
3. Then click OK in the window Comment for cancellation.
4. The status of the supplier invoice is then set to Canceled.

If the canceled invoice was only registered, no offset entry will be created. If it has a preliminary entry, a preliminary offset entry will be created. If it is final recorded, a final offset entry will be created.

If the canceled invoice has a preliminary entry and the preliminary entry date is outside the open accounting period, you will see a window where you can enter the date for when the cancellation should be booked. The date that will be suggested is the first date in the first open period. If the canceled invoice is final recorded and the date is outside the open accounting period, you will see a corresponding window. When you cancel the invoice, the entries created for the invoice will be removed from the supplier invoice log.

If the canceled invoice has preliminary linked or linked order rows, the invoice bases will be released from the invoice and again made available for linking to a new invoice.

Please note! It is not possible to cancel a supplier invoice which has a registered payment. In that case, you first have to cancel the payment in the Outgoing payments procedure.

Credit supplier invoices linked to purchase orders

In order to credit a supplier invoice that is linked to a purchase order, you do the following if the crediting concerns credit of the quantity on the row:

1. Load the debit invoice by entering the consecutive number of the debit invoice on the header row.
2. Create a credit invoice by selecting Credit as Invoice type. If the option EIM is activated in the system, then there is a button next to the field Consecutive number. You can use this to display the debit invoice to be credited.
3. Enter the debit number in the Consecutive number field under the field Invoice type.
4. A new window for crediting invoice is opened. There you will see the contents (order rows) from the debit invoice and you can mark the order rows that you want to credit. If a comprehensive invoice is concerned, these rows will be shown. An order row can also be partially credited by entering a quantity and choose if the crediting affects the balance.
5. Mark Create new invoice basis if the supplier will send a new invoice for the credited quantity.
6. Click OK to create a credit invoice. The order number on the credit invoice will be the same as the debit invoice, but with a sub-number.
7. Send the invoice for authorization or final record it.
8. Save.
