The more appropriate route we be to do an AP Adjustment for the 80+ invoices
you want to clear. Do the following.

1. Adjust them to a clearing account and put in the explanation/notes
area what Debit Memo number you are applying them against and why.

2. Take the sum of all the invoices and do one AP Adjustment against the
Debit Memo, putting it to the same clearing account. In the note section of
the Adjustment screen indicated which invoices you are applied to the Debit
Memo.

3. This will leave the Debit Memo with the remaining balance.

4. Any time you receive a new invoice from that vendor enter it into
Accounts Payable and do an adjustment against the remaining Debit Memo
balance until you have consumed the entire amount. Follow steps 1 through 3
above.

The Debit Memo balance will continue to show on your aging report until it
is consumed , the invoices will show as paid with the Debit Memo number in
place of the check. In addition you will have an appropriate audit trail.

You will not need to make any adjusting entries, because the Debit Memo
should have been put against the account that represents the the credit
whether expense or COGs. The adjustments need to go to a clearing account
because they do not represent a reduction in expense, but the payment of
invoices through the Debit Memo. The appropriate amounts from the Debit
Memo will wash each other out each time you do this, just as if you were
applying cash to the AP invoices.

Give me a call at the toll free number below if you have any questions and I
will go over it with you. Thanks.

Looks like what we are going to do is take 20 invoices at a time and
create a Debit Memo to match the totals of the 20, then print a $0 check.
Then we will reduce the $266K DM by that amount. I didn't realize we have
about 80 invoices, some of them 6 months old. We want to clean up the Aged
Payables report, and the vendor won't issue a check in this circumstance.

Thanks for your input Deb and Jim.

I need some help from the Bean Counters among us... my brain doesn't
work in the accounting area...

We have a Vendor who has issued us a credit of $266,000 which is in our
(5.0) system as a Debit Memo. We have 20 some invoices which don't even
come close to the amount of the Debit Memo. We would like to apply the
Debit Memo to some of these outstanding Payable invoices.

I know this can be done on the AR side, but is there a way to do this on
the AP side?

Thanks.

Seems to me you are not giving yourself enough credit,and really already
know the answer cuz there isn't an apply debit memo entry in general
operations. IF you had enough invoices to exceed or cover the debit memo,
all would just go on a payment and be done with it.

However, that is not the case. Is your vendor willing to issue a check?
(Usually depends on the circumstances on whether they would do this. If you
will get to the full $266 k in a short period of time, no big deal. Just
wait for all the invoices to accumulate and ignore those aging invoices in
the meantime.) If they will issue a check, you will need to create a
miscellaneous A/P invoice using the same G/L number that was used to apply
the check against. Then, you will have enough A/P invoices to offset that
large debit memo.
Let me know if I've used too much accountant speak. HTH.

You could run a check and use a partial of the debit memo to cover the
invoices you have already. It would end up being a $0.00 check but the
invoices would then be off the aging and the debit would still show what was
available. Choose the invoices to pay first then choose the debit memo last
and enter the amount of the debit memo needed to cover the invoices.

Cameron,

How is doing AP adjustment more appropriate then running a check for $0? By
running the check you can have all the invoices attached to that check
offset by the amount of the debit memo used. You can select easily what
invoices to be paid instead of adjusting 80+ invoices. I think a check is
more appropriate and easier than an adjustment journal to show they are
paid. Just my .02$.

I agree. Why is it more appropriate or any easier? It muddies the path of
transactions and creates more work than just selecting and cutting checks.
Again, it is nice that there are options in Vantage. But.... What I am I
missing Cameron?

I agree. Why is it more appropriate or any easier? It muddies the path of
transactions and creates more work than just selecting and cutting checks.
Again, it is nice that there are options in Vantage. But.... What I am I
missing Cameron?

Cameron,

How is doing AP adjustment more appropriate then running a check for $0? By
running the check you can have all the invoices attached to that check
offset by the amount of the debit memo used. You can select easily what
invoices to be paid instead of adjusting 80+ invoices. I think a check is
more appropriate and easier than an adjustment journal to show they are
paid. Just my .02$.

It is more appropriate because you are not paying the vendor you are
applying a Debit Memo to open invoices. When looking at the vendor payment
history you will look at the invoice and say it was paid with a check. It
was not it was applied against the Debit Memo, you that information to be
viewable from the Vendor invoice history screen. It is a questions of
accurate information vs.. misleading information. If I were a auditor and
looking at this transaction I would want to see the check, when the reality
is that it was not a check but the Debit Memo. I might look at the Debit
Memo and want to know what invoices were used to off-set that and that
information would not be readily available. Also this is one of the
purposes for the AP Adjustments. If the information within your software is
not accurate then you are always forced to look through paper files to see
what happened. If you never plan to replace any of your personnel or if
they never die then you don't need to know what Debit Memo was applied to
the invoices.

It does not muddy the transaction because you now have check applied to the
invoices and the Debit Memo. You have to go back to the copy of the check
to see that it was a $0 transaction. In addition, a check if for the
passage of money from one party to another and there is not money changing
hands or bank activity involved. A check is currency and their is no
currency involved. I have had to go back to many companies and trace
transactions through the system and creating bogus transactions does not
make the job easy. Accounting use to be a field that had structure and
there were right ways of doing things, accountability, and appropriate
transactions. When we automated accounting because different software
handles transactions slightly different, it seems as if is ok to abandon the
rules. This was just a suggestion based on how the software was designed to
work and how it would be appropriate from a GAAP point of view. I
understand that everyone wants to do what is easy and less work. That is ok
with me because I don't have to live with the results. I am just passing
along the alternative methods based on the software operations.

Okay. Thanks for your explanation. Now I see what your concerns are.

Invoice Tracker, Payment Activity, Payment shows a nice listing of all
invoices against the check. Kudos to the programmers here. I looked at a
hefty debit memo and traced it to see if an adequate, easily accessible
audit trail was available. It was just as good as pulling the paper check
stub.

However, I couldn't think of a check offhand that was a zero dollar
transaction to verify that it produced similar results. If a debit memo is
used to completely pay an invoice, a Debit Memo designation (DM) and number
in the tracker under payment would be more appropriate if a check number is
shown instead of a DM number. Haven't tested it yet to see what does
happen. Troy, if you proceed as you first indicated, maybe you would be so
good as to let us know what the tracker reflects.

Now I'm going back to the FUN job of reconciling the A/P clearing account.
Cameron, what's your opinion of GAAP, traceability, reconciliability of that
charming account?
