But then we went to GL-O to post & there was some long meassage about a transaction being out of balance - there was a $10.61 Db against sales tax & a $311.05 Db against RNI reference #SHA249 (invoice #) but no off-setting CREDIT transactions for the A/P account. Sooooooooooo we manually entered the credit side in GL-P against the A/P account #, probably the wrong thing to do. (I think I need to get rid of that GL-P option - it has never helped me, only caused me more problems) Anyway, the invoice does not show up in the A/P module as open or in the vendor's aging file at all.
When this happens, and the first attempt at processing the invoice in AP-C cleared the receipt from RNI report, I enter the invoice manually via AP-B, with a debit of $311.05 to the RNI GL account and in your case, a debit of $10.61 to the sales tax account. This WILL ADD the invoice to the vendor's account in Accounts Payable history.
Next, edit the partially posted GL Batch in GL-P so that the amounts offset each other. I.E., add a credit entry of $10.61 to the sales tax account, and add a credt entry of $311.05 to the original GL account shown in the partial post transaction for your invoice # SHA249. These accounts will now offset each other in the General Ledger when you post the batch, net effect will be $0.
