Entering Receipt Header and Vendor Information
This topic discusses the header and vendor information you enter only with receipts.
Most of the information you enter with a receipt is the same as with requisitions and purchase orders, and is described under Processing purchase orders.
Information that you enter only for receipts includes:
-
Receipt number (a unique number, up to 22 characters in length, to distinguish the transaction from other receipts for audit control purposes).
-
Vendor number (the vendor from whom you purchased the goods).
-
PO number (the number assigned to the single purchase order for which you are receiving items).
-
From multiple POs (the numbers of all purchase orders you have chosen to receive from the vendor).
-
Job related (if the receipt is for a project you are managing with Project and Job Costing).
-
Retainage accounting (if the retainage option is selected in Accounts Payable, you can choose retainage accounting for the receipt.
-
Receipt date (the transaction date for the receipt).
-
Year and period (to which you want to post the general ledger transaction).
On new receipts, you can also enter:
Comment (on the Totals tab)
When you select a valid purchase order for a receipt, the Receipt Information tab displays the number of receipts that have been posted to the purchase order and the last receipt number that was posted to the purchase order.
