Use this activity to create voucher types used by your company. Specifically, you can enter a voucher type and voucher number series, and connect the voucher type to a user group. This mandatory task is to be performed by a system administrator or equivalent person.
When a new company is created in IFS/Enterprise, one voucher type is created for each function group and year in the period calendar. You can also create a new user group for the voucher type.
If the IFS/Internal Ledger component is installed, you can define ledger settings. You can connect the voucher type to a specific ledger, i.e., an internal or general ledger, or to all ledgers. If connected to a specific ledger, the voucher type's transactions can only hold information for that ledger. If connected to all ledgers, the transactions can hold information used for more than one ledger.
If you want to post different postings to internal ledger, you need to enable Use Manual Internal Methods for a voucher type with Ledger Type GL, Affect IL.
To simulate amounts in reports and queries for updated postings, connect the voucher to a simulation voucher type.
If voucher approval workflow is used for manual voucher types with function groups M,K and Q, enable Voucher Approval Workflow option. When this is selected, the allowed maximum amount and the code string combination of the Approver/Approver Group will be validated upon voucher approval. If separate users should be involved in the voucher entry and the approval process, Separate User Approval option need to be enabled.
If you want to keep voucher number series similar to an existing voucher type, you can use Copy From Existing Voucher Type section.
