Documentation

Use

Select this check box to indicate a change of object status from submitted to approved.

NOTE: You may select this check box in combination with the others available.

Supplementary Documentation - GENERAL_FLAG0001

Use

If you set this indicator, a new session is opened to display the selected document.

The advantage of this is that you can see the information from the reconciliation, and analyze the document at the same time. It does however take longer to actually display the document, since the new session has to be opened first.

Test the document display with and without opening a new session and select the best method for your requirements.

Dependencies

Example

Supplementary Documentation - GENERAL_FLAG0002

Use

If you set this indicator, the system only searches for documents with identical document information.

Dependencies

Example

If you set the indicator for the document date, when you use the funtion Search -> Alternative documents, the system only searches for documents with the same document date.

Supplementary Documentation - GENERAL_FLAG0003

Use

If you set this indicator, the system only searches for documents where the corresponding document information is not identical.

Dependencies

Example

If you set the indicator for the document date, when you use the function Search -> Alternative documents, the system searches for documents irrespective of the document date. The hit list may contain documents with the same or with different dates.

Supplementary Documentation - GENERAL_FLAG0004

Use

If you set this indicator, the system searches for documents with the same or a lower amount.

Dependencies

Example

Company code 0001 has issued an invoice for EUR 100 to company code 0002. The accountant in company code 0002 posts this transaction split as two invoice receipts for EUR 50 each. If you want to search for an appropriate document with the same or a lower amount as the outgoing document for company code 0001, the system finds both incoming documents from company code 0002 for EUR 50 each.

Supplementary Documentation - GENERAL_FLAG0005

Use

You can set this indicator to define reference numbers manually for each assignment.

You can have the system determine the reference number from information from the documents to be assigned, using rules that have already been defined, so that the manual effort is considerably reduced. To do this, set the indicator Determine reference numbers according to rules.

Dependencies

Example

Supplementary Documentation - GENERAL_FLAG0006

Use

If you set this indicator, the system determines the reference numbers for documents to be assigned using certain rules. This gives you the opportunity to use random information from customer and/or vendor documents.

The use of a rule considerably reduces the manual effort required in this transaction.

Dependencies

Example

Supplementary Documentation - GENERAL_FLAG0007

Use

If you set this indicator, when the program starts, it automatically tries to assign documents to each other.

If you have set the indicator, the program tries to find a corresponding document, that was at least posted in the same transaction currency and with the same amount, for each document. Using the indicators Only documents with the same document date, and Also documents with different document dates, you can control whether the document date should be identical in order for an assignment to be carried out.

Dependencies

If you want to assign documents automatically when the program starts, you have to maintain the rule for automatically determining the reference number.

Example

Supplementary Documentation - GENERAL_FLAG0008

Use

Set this indicator if you only want documents to be assigned to each other automatically if the document date is the same.

Dependencies

Example

Supplementary Documentation - GENERAL_FLAG0009

Use

If you set this indicator, documents are also automatically assigned to each other if the document date is different. The program first tries to find a document with the same document date. If it cannot find such a document, it then searches for a document with a different document date.

Dependencies

Example

Supplementary Documentation - GENERAL_FLAG0010

Use

If you set this indicator, the automatically created reference number in the documents assigned is permanently changed.

The program changes the reference number in all documents for which it has found a corresponding partner document. If you do not set the indicator, the reference number is only saved internally for the current program run.

Dependencies

If you set this indicator, the program runtime is longer if a large number of documents without a corresponding partner document with the same reference number have been posted since the last program run. Changing the documents has the advantage that the automatically assigned documents are recognised as belonging to each other for future program runs, and this reduces the runtime accordingly.
