Title: Copy AR voucher GL amount not updating
Post by chrisbowden on 02/05/06 at 10:05:31

I have to post quite a few AR voucher credit memos to clear samples, damages, and what-not. Whenever I use the "Copy as New Voucher" button and get to the GL Distribution at the bottom, the program will not automatically update the previous voucher's amount with the new voucher's amount.

Since few of my vouchers are for the same amount but most are for the same GL account (samples for instance), I like to copy them so that I don't have to keep typing the same customer code, description, dates, etc over and over again as I process each customer's deduction batch. However, if I get Enter-key happy and fail to update the GL Distribution on the bottom-half of the screen, DBA will error that the GL Distribution is out of balance. Even if I go back and change the amount, once I get the warning message, DBA will not accept any changes to the distribution line. Though the line is visibly balanced, DBA is storing the previous voucher's amount as part of (or in summation with) the total voucher amount and the voucher will never balance. At this point I have no choice but to exit the voucher and start all over agina by either re-keying or re-copying the voucher. What a pain!

Can a change be issued to force DBA, when copying a previous voucher, to either update the first-line distribution with the new voucher amount, or to at least refresh its memory regarding what the total voucher should balance to so that I can successfully change the distribution line and get the voucher to balance?

Thanks! ;D

Ditto! I can confirm this finding.

Though our volume of AR Vouchers is not as large as sales invoices, it is annoying when one cannot go back and correct the $amount, and has to exit out and re-start again by copying and then exercising caution when proceeding.
