    Registered Documents

    To optimise the timely creation of Registered documents, we recommend using Auto forwarding to the AP Automation mailbox, setting this up on your email client.

    2. If the Registered Document is not a purchasing document, for example a statement, then it can be Abandoned.

      Enter a reason for abandoning, and then select Abandon.

      The Registered Document will now show with an Abandoned stamp. Also, the options to Edit, Convert or Redo are no longer showing. Only the option will show, which will enable you to Unlock the document and reverse the Abandon process.

      The Log tab will be updated with the reason for abandoning.

      Note

      Once a Registered Document has been Submitted, it can no longer be Abandoned.

      To Delete a Registered Document that has been Abandoned, highlight the document, then select Delete on the button.

      Confirm deletion on the message that shows.

    3. If the Registered Document has been incorrectly matched to a Cash Purchase instead of a Purchase Invoice, or vice versa, then use the Amend Type option to change to the correct document.

      You will be prompted with a warning message to confirm this action.

      Your Registered Document will now be correctly matched to either a Cash Purchase or a Purchase Invoice.

      Note

      If the Document Type has not been setup in the defaults section in Automation Mailbox ...

      ... the Amend Type process will not proceed, and the following error will occur.

      The Amend Type process can be performed multiple times. The most recent occurrence will be recorded in the Log.

    4. The user can compare the scanned information with the actual document and make appropriate changes.

      Examples of possible reasons for changes -

      • Legal Entity/Supplier is not matched due to incorrect supplier details.
      • A new Supplier has not yet been created for the invoice received.
      • Incorrect defaults have been applied.
      • The Tax Code will always be populated with the default Tax Code from the Supplier. If any Tax Code differs in the document, then it will be up to the user to make appropriate changes to reflect these differences.
      Note

      If a Supplier was previously known with another name, this can be resolved by entering Alias names on the Advanced tab in Legal Entities and on the Suppliers tab in Suppliers

    6. Once all amendments have been checked in the section above, the Registered document can then be converted to the appropriate iplicit document - Purchase Invoice, Purchase Order, Cash Purchase or Credit Note.

      • Select Convert & Submit to send the document to your iplicit accounts followed by an immediate Submit.
