AP05


AP05.1 - Bill of Exchange Accrual Code

**Form Purpose
Use Bill of Exchange Accrual Code (AP05.1) to define and maintain bill of
exchange accrual codes. Bill of exchange accrual codes are used only by pay
groups that make acceptance accounting general ledger entries (Yes selected in
the Acceptance Accounting field in AP01.1 (Pay Group)).

A bill of exchange accrual code links a general ledger acceptance account to
a bill of exchange. Bill of exchange accrual codes follow a default hierarchy
that ultimately assigns the codes to bills of exchange during acceptance in
AP28 (Bill of Exchange Acceptance by Vendor).

AP05.2 - Invoice Accrual Code

**Form Purpose
Use Invoice Accrual Code (AP05.2) to define and maintain invoice accrual
codes. An invoice accrual code links a general ledger accrual account to an
invoice.

The accrual account you select for an invoice accrual code is used to offset
general ledger entries made between the payment of an invoice by AP170
(Payment Closing) and the distribution of an invoice by AP175 (Invoice
Distribution Closing).

Invoice accrual codes follow a system default hierarchy that ultimately
assigns the codes to invoices in AP20 (Invoice Entry).

AP05.3 - Distribution Code

**Form Purpose
Use Distribution Code (AP05.3) to define and maintain distribution codes for
a company. You can use distribution codes in place of entering expense
distribution lines during invoice entry. Distribution codes automatically
default one or more general ledger distribution accounts to an invoice.

You can define distribution code lines with flat amounts, percentages, or
blank amounts (a "shell") to be filled in during invoice entry. When you use a
distribution code that has a percentage defined for each line, any "extra"
distribution amount caused by rounding is included in the last distribution
line.

If you would like to charge multiple accounting units and accounts, select
Service in he Edit Accounts field and add or modify the account details. You
must use Percent values (amounts are not allowed when charging multiple
accounting units and accounts) and the total percentage must equal 100

Distribution codes follow a system default hierarchy that ultimately assigns
the codes to invoices in AP20 (Invoice Entry).

**More Information
An asterisk displays next to the Unit button if units information is defined
for a distribution line. An asterisk displays next to the AM button if asset
information is defined for a distribution line.

AP05.4 - Hold Code

**Form Purpose
Use Hold Code (AP05.4) to define and maintain hold codes for a vendor group.
You assign hold codes to vendors and invoices to prevent invoices from being
scheduled for payment. You can define hold codes for use on vendors, invoices,
or both.

You define hold codes as either permanent or temporary holds. Permanent hold
codes remain assigned until you remove them. Temporary hold codes remain
assigned for one payment cycle and are automatically removed when you run
AP170 (Payment Closing) to close the payment cycle.

AP05.5 - Income Code

**Form Purpose
Use Income Code (AP05.5) to define and maintain income codes for a company.
Income codes are used to track a vendor's taxable income, such as 1099
reportable income, for reporting or withholding purposes.

**More Information
You can assign an income code to a vendor class in AP00.3 (Vendor Class), to
a vendor or vendor location in AP10 (Vendor), or to an invoice in AP20
(Invoice Entry), AP30 (Invoice Maintenance), or AP45.1 (Reportable Income
Adjustment). Run AP245 (Reportable Income Report) to list reportable income
that has been tracked by the application. You can create 1099 reportable
income tax forms or tapes by running AP145 (1099 Forms Creation) or AP146
(1099 Tape Creation). Income codes follow a system default hierarchy that
ultimately assigns the codes to invoices in AP20 (Invoice Entry).

AP05.6 - Authority Code

**Form Purpose
Use Authority Code (AP05.6) to define and maintain authority codes for a
company that has Yes selected in the Invoice Approval field and No selected in
the Batch Release field in AP00.4 (Company).

An authority code represents a person or department responsible for approving
a registered invoice. You must assign an authority code to a registered
invoice in AP20 (Invoice Entry) or AP26.1 (Invoice Release) before you can
release the invoice for further processing.

AP05.7 - Discount Code

**Form Purpose

code links a general ledger discount account to an invoice.

The discount account you select for a discount code is used to record invoice
discount amounts to a separate general ledger account in AP170 (Payment
Closing).

Discount codes follow a system default hierarchy that ultimately assigns the
codes to invoices in the invoice entry forms (AP20.x).
