Creating prepayment voucher – An overview

Activity Overview

You can also enter the voucher details like the finance book to which the transactions are posted, the voucher type and the payment request date.

Payment can be made in form of checks, demand draft, direct debit, or by cash. If the payment method is through bank, then the appropriate account information has to be specified. The payment can be made in different currencies. In such cases, the corresponding currency exchange rate has to be given for calculation.

The information of the supplier to whom the payment is made is also entered. You can also enter the reference document details based on which the voucher is created. The system saves the voucher details and updates the status of the voucher to “Fresh”.

This page also allows you to authorize the voucher during the creation process. The system updates the status of the voucher to “Requested”. The details of the voucher once authorized cannot be modified later. The system saves the ID of the currently logged in user and the system date along with the voucher creation details.
