AP52.1 - Invoice Interface

**Form Purpose
Use Invoice Interface (AP52.1) to enter and maintain invoice, debit memo,
credit memo, and one-time vendor invoice information in the invoice conversion
file for interface or conversion into the Lawson Accounts Payable system or to

You can enter or maintain unreleased, released (open), or historical invoices
on this form. You must type batch numbers or voucher numbers for unreleased
invoices. For released and historical invoices, this information is optional.

**Processing Effect

however, you can define or maintain invoice information before you run AP520
(Invoice Interface) which will edit the information for completeness and
accuracy, update the Lawson Accounts Payable files, and delete updated records
from the conversion file.

AP52.6 - Invoice Errors

**Form Purpose
Use Invoice Errors (AP52.6) to list invoices with errors that prevent them
from being interfaced. Interfacing refers to the ongoing process of bringing
in data from a source external to the Accounts Payable application, such as a
desktop application or a non-Lawson application. You can drill around on each
invoice line to find additional details about the error.

**Process at a Glance

1. Load external invoice data into the appropriate interface files.

2. Run Invoice Interface (AP520) to interface invoice information from a
non-Lawson system.

3. List invoices with errors using this form.

4. Correct records that did not interface using Invoice Interface (AP52.1),
Multiple Payment Interface (AP52.2), or Distribution Interface (AP52.3).

5. Optional. Run AP520 again to interface corrected records.
