| 1.1. Prerequisites for Debit Memo | ||
Users MUST have full rights to the "AP Offsets and Debit Memos" in Accounting Security . Users with “Accounting Security Supervisor” rights will automatically have access.
|
| 1.2. Introduction for Debit Memo |
There are two types of Debit Memos: One created via the DMR process and the ones created directly via this entry screen.
Note: That if the Debit Memo concerns a return of inventory, the user should use the DMR process because any Debit Memo affecting the inventory general ledger numbers should be created via the DMR process. Note: A Debit Memo created against an open supplier invoice will automatically net against that invoice in the A/P Aging. In the case of a DMR Debit Memo, if the supplier invoice has already been paid, then a Debit Memo will forward to the A/P Aging. This open Debit Memo may be offset against other open invoices from that same supplier via the A/P offset module.
Additionally, please note that ONLY a "From Inventory DMR" will generate a Debit Memo (Only if the PO has been reconciled and transfered to AP). If a DMR was created "From a Purchase Order" then there will be no Debit Memo created – this is adjusted automatically within the ManEx system prior to the PO Reconciliation. Only what has been ACCEPTED will forward to the PO Reconciliation module. |
