Enter Purchase Invoices
Previous Top Next

This program allows you to enter invoices received from your suppliers, posting them onto the Purchase Ledger.  It enables you to match the invoice to your purchase order, to ensure you are charged correctly for the goods you have ordered.  This removes the purchase order from the Uninvoiced Purchase Orders Report which shows purchase orders awaiting invoice.

1.      Select Gx Purchase in the toolbar.
2.      Choose Transaction Entry from the drop-down menu.
3.      Confirm the default posting date
4.      Enter the Batch Control Total
5.      Account Code - enter the supplier that the first invoice in your batch is from.
6.      Make sure Invoice is selected in the Type column.  For services received from a supplier select the Invoice Svc type.
7.      Confirm the Posting Date for this invoice.
8.      Transaction Date - enter the date on the invoice.
9.      Order No - type your purchase order number.  
10.   Invoice No - enter the invoice number.
11.   Goods - enter the nett goods total before VAT.
12.   V.A.T. - the system automatically calculates the VAT on this goods total but you can click the ellipses icon graphic to amend the goods and VAT amounts for each vat rate.  Click here to view the VAT breakdown popup window. 
13.   Check that the Gross total is equal to your invoice total. 
14.   Nominal Analysis - the default nominal code for this supplier is taken from the Options tab in Supplier Details.  You should set this to the Cost of Sales or Overheads nominal code used to represent the goods you normally buy from this supplier.  If you are not matching the invoice to a purchase order, click the ellipses icon graphic if you need to amend the nominal analysis of the goods on this invoice.  If you match the invoice, the nominal analysis will be automatically updated based on the nominal codes attached to the products on the purchase order, so you can skip this column since you do not need to amend this manually .  Click here to view the Nominal Analysis popup window. 
15.   Qry - tick the check-box in this column to query this invoice.  You can also query purchase invoices once they are loaded to the purchase ledger using the Gx Purchase\Supplier Details program. 
16.   If you do not need to match the purchase invoice to a purchase order, e.g. for a utility bill, jump to step 24 in the instructions .  To reconcile this purchase invoice to your purchase order, click the ellipsis icon graphic in the Match column.  The products on the purchase order will be displayed in the bottom half of the screen.  The quantities actually booked in and waiting to be invoiced are shown.  Note: you can only match goods that have been booked in to prevent being invoiced for goods you have not received. To aid you in matching the Invoice to the Purchase Order you may click on any column heading to sort the purchase order lines by that column. 
17.   Tick the check box for each line that appears on the invoice.  You can click the Add All button to save time.   
18.   Amend the Invoice Qty and Invoice Price if necessary to match the invoice.  You may wish to report overcharges to the supplier and request a credit note.  The details of the invoiced lines are then shown in the top half of the screen. 
19.   If the invoice covers more than one purchase order, type the next purchase order number in the Purchase Order No field at the top.  In the bottom window, select the lines from this order which appear on this invoice. They will also appear in the top part of the screen allowing you to view all the matched purchase order lines to this invoice.  Repeat for each purchase order covered by this invoice. 
20.   Having matched all the product lines on the invoice, you will need to use the Additional Charges tab to enter items on the invoice that are not on your purchase order, for example carriage charges. 
21.   Click the Charge Code drop-down menu and select the charge to add to this invoice.  See: Create Purchase Order Charge Codes for instructions on setting up these charge codes.
22.   Confirm the Value of this charge on the invoice.  The VAT and Line Value are automatically calculated. 
23.   The invoice Gross Amount on the top right of the screen should equal the calculated Gross Amount shown at the bottom of the screen.  If they do not match, double check the quantities and prices you have matched and a mend any incorrect figures.   Save this invoice.  
24.   Enter the next invoice in your batch in the same way.
25.   When you have entered all the invoices, click the Save button. You will be warned if the cumulative total does not match your control total.  You should double check the figures entered to make sure you have not made a mistake when entering the invoices before continuing.  When you proceed with the update, the invoices are posted to the purchase ledger.  You can use Supplier Transaction Enquiry to view the invoices on a supplier account.
