Enter Multi-Company Manual Voucher
Explanation
Use this activity to enter a Multi-Company manual voucher. A Multi-Company manual voucher is created in one
company, i.e. current company, and contains voucher rows belonging to the current company and to other
company/companies in the same legal entity. Each voucher can be processed individually with in the particular
company it resides. The voucher types belonging to the function group M, Manual Vouchers, are used
for Multi-Company manual vouchers in the current company. The voucher types belonging to the function group
D, Multi-Company Vouchers, are used for Multi-Company manual vouchers in the other
company/companies.
If Manual Balance per Company option is enabled, the voucher rows per company must balance in accounting
and (if used) parallel currency before the voucher can be saved. If aforementioned option is disabled, any
remaining balance per company will automatically be posted using the posting types AP10 (credit balance) or AP11
(debit balance). Also, the voucher rows within each Row Group ID must be in the same transaction currency and must
balance in that currency. Only one voucher row is allowed for the source company within each Row Group ID.
If the Voucher Row Group Validation option is enabled in the Voucher Type page for the used
voucher type, voucher rows with the same row group ID must have a one-to-one or one-to-many debit/credit relation.
In order to save a voucher of a voucher type for which the Voucher Row Group Validation is enabled, the
debit balance and the credit balance must be the same within each row group ID.
