AP Transactions

This browser shows the status of your AP transactions. An AP transaction is created for each approved expense report or vendor invoice. From here you can view transaction history, override account mappings, force transactions into different periods, or change the status of transactions.

This form is reached from the Integration tab | Transactions subsection | AP Transactions.

Permissions & Settings

To send transactions to your accounting system or edit accounting periods you must have the Accounting System Interface global permission.

To override account mappings you must have the Override Accounting Mappings global permission.

An AP transaction's accounting period is determined by its Issue Date. The issue date is specified on the Payment Voucher. If the accounting period is closed for AP, the AP transaction will fall into a later accounting period.

Overrides

Some fun things you can do to your AP transactions. See Integration Overrides for more background on these options.

Manual Mapping Overrides

Open a Pending transaction and click the Override Mappings button. The second and third columns become editable. Change the values as needed.

Only do this if you know what you are doing
Use the notes section to remind yourself why you chose to do this

Reapply Mappings

Sometimes you make a batch and later realize that some of your accounting mappings were out of date. You correct them in Projector, but the batch is still wrong. You can Reapply Mappings in the following scenario:

Transaction is pending
No dependent batches. Look for the icon. If there are dependencies you'll need to delete them before proceeding.
Not an intercompany transaction

Simply click Reapply Mappings for a transaction row.

Override Accounting Periods

For transactions in Pending status, click the icon next to the accounting period. This displays a list of accounting periods open for AP.

Mappings

AP transactions hit your AP and AP Clearing accounts. These accounts are mapped using the Cost Center Editor. To determine the cost center for a transaction, right click and choose Open. In the lower grid there is a cost center column for each account.

Reapply Mappings

If you edit a cost center to update the account mappings they will not be applied to any existing transactions – even if the transactions are failed. To start using the new mappings you must first set the transaction to pending and then click the Reapply Mappings button. Please see the Integration Overrides page for more information.
