Purchase invoices (AP301000)

This topic gives you information about the elements that you find in this window in Visma.net ERP, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes.

Introduction

In this window, you enter supplier documents, such as landed cost invoices, adjustments, and prepayments, and view existing document details.

  • Each purchase invoice, adjustment, or prepayment request creates a supplier ledger document of the corresponding type, which includes information about the supplier and their original document, such as the reference number of the original purchase invoice or note.

  • In addition, you can link invoices to the purchase orders used for ordering goods and to the purchase receipts issued upon receiving the ordered goods.

  • You can edit invoices, adjustments, and prepayments until they are released. The default status of a new document is determined by the Hold documents on entry option in the Supplier ledger preferences (AP101000) window.

If you are in the list window, the first line in the table is a search line. Each column has a search field which you can click to search for or filter on specific values and narrow down the displayed table rows. You can search and filter in as many columns as you need to, to only display the results you want to view.

There are two types of search fields:

  • White: here you can type a specific search term to display results in this column containing this exact value. If you search on several (partial) words, you can separate them by a space or % and get different results:

    • space: the result contains the words in any order,

    • %: the result contains the words in the specific order, and the % functions as a wildcard as well.

  • Grey: you can click this to open the column filter pop-up window where you can filter the results for this column.
