ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

I am preparing my checks to make my check run and invoices that I want to pay are not processing.  I did release them but still not being prepared to be paid.

Check the Due date on the invoices which you wish to pay.  Not only does it have to be released but its due date must be on or before the date entered during prepare checks.

I have used the Voided Check routine within AP which cancels the check already prepared and posted.  This has worked fine, but I noticed it puts the paid invoices back under that vendor.  I don’t want to pay them, so how do I get them out of the system?

You must issue a debit memo for that same amount against the same vendor.  This will cancel this invoice.  Make sure you use the same expense GL number that was originally entered with the invoice.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

How do I write off a bad debt?

Input a cash receipt for the account in question, making the check amount zero.   Select the invoices to be removed from the customer as normally done with a cash receipt entry.  When all invoices have been selected, enter E to end.  At GL Account field, enter the Bad Debt GL account number that your accountant has advised you to write these invoices to.  Program will automatically place the total write-off in the Debit column.  End the transaction.

GENERAL SYSTEM

My Volume File Status Report shows some files with stars (asterisks).

Only files with 3 or 4 stars need to be resized.  Contact Software Support for assistance.  They will setup a resize for you, and guide you on how to run the resize overnight.

Back to Top          Back to General System FAQs

 

One of the files with 3 or 4 stars is BMSOIXRF.

This file does not have to be resized.  Go into Ultimate Inquiry, Misc Maintenance Rebuild SO Item Xreference.  This will only take a few minutes, depending upon number of open orders in your system.

CUSTOMERS & STATEMENTS

The Customer History Inquiry is displaying out of date sequence.

Run the Customer History Purge using a date prior to any of the dates within the file, e.g. 01011999 (Jan 1st, 1999).  NOTE: use 4 digit year.  This will not delete any records but will resort the file by date sequence.

GENERAL LEDGER

How do I change a GL account type from a debit to a credit (or vice-versa)?

First, ensure all GL journal entries are posted to the masters.  If the account balance is not zero, do a manual entry to zero out the balance using a misc account.  After posting this new GL entry, then you may change the account type.  Do another manual entry that is the opposite of the original one to put the balance back in, again using the misc account.

Back to Top          Back to General Ledger FAQs

 

How do I enter a one-sided entry to correct a GL journal that is out of balance?

At the GL menu, type .OSE (one sided entry).  Enter the GL Period to be affected, hit enter for a new entry, and enter the data required.  For the journal amount, you will need to know what type your GL Account is.  If it is a Debit type of account, and you want to enter a credit amount, then your amount will be negative.  If you want to enter a debit amount to this Debit account, then your amount will be positive.

How do I add a new GL Account to a management report?

Pull up the desired Management Report under #21, Inquiry/Report Specifications (You can do a .W at the ID field if you do not know the ID name).  Once the report maint appears, type L to go to the Line maint.  Find the area you wish to add the new GL account to.  Type I plus the sequence number BELOW where you want to insert the new account.  Answer the  prompts as they appear.  Remember to place a + in the same Accumulator column as the other GL accounts in this section so it will be added to the totals in that accumulator properly.

INVENTORY

My Inventory Ledger Inquiry is displaying out of date sequence.

This can be resolved by executing a purge of the inventory ledger using a date prior to your history, e.g 01011999 (Jan 1st, 1999).  NOTE: use 4 digit year.  This will not purge any records but it will re sort the records in date order.

The Inventory Ledger Inquiry running balance does not match the quantity within the Store Master.

VMMS Release 6.4 will compare these two quantities and correct this total within the inventory ledger file.  Within Inventory Ledger, run #23 Inventory Ledger B/F Update.

Inventory Ledger Report gives missing record error, either BMINVMST or BMINVSTR.

Release 6.4 will correct this error.  Go into Inventory Ledger and run #24 Delete Orphan Ledger Records.

I can’t delete inventory due to committed quantities, but there are none committed

When trying to delete inventory you may get a message that says you can’t delete an item because there are committed quantities. You may then run the Open Order Report for this item to find any orders the item is on, only to find there isn’t an open order with the item on it. Here’s how to resolve this:  go into your Inventory menu and select the Miscellaneous Menu and run Reset-Committed Quantities In Inventory. This utility will reset the items committed amount to what exists in the open order file. In this situation it would be zero, and the committed amount in the inventory store file would be reset to zero. Once completed you can then go ahead and delete the inventory item.

PAYROLL

I’ve run my checks and I’m trying to post, but I’m being prompted to print my check register again. . .

You’ve completed your payroll check run and you are trying to post the checks to file, and now you are being prompted to print the check register - yet you’ve already printed it. Chances are there is an employee’s check that wasn’t fully calculated. Solution:  review the register and look for check #0, or just reprint the journal and only the employee who’s check didn’t calculate will print. Call up the employee # in check edit/entry and recalculated the check. You will then need to reprint the check journal, the payroll check, and register, and then the post will go through.

 

Note. Keep in mind when reprinting the check it is only going to print out this one payroll check and not the entire check run. Approach the print as if you are printing all checks and do not select reprint.

PURCHASE ORDERS

How does the system handle Direct Purchase Orders?

Answer:  Direct Purchase Orders do not update the Inventory files with on-order or on-hand quantities. When the Direct PO is posted in AP, it will debit the DS clearing account located in the REMITxx table and will credit the AP control account.  Therefore, it is necessary to make sure if a direct PO is used, that a corresponding DIRECT SALES ORDER is also entered.  This is so that the cost of the Sales Order will credit the DS clearing account and thus zeroing out the DS clearing account.  If not, the debit from the Direct PO will stay in this account.

How does the system handle Return Purchase Orders?

Answer:  As soon as a Return PO is created, the on-hand qty of the inventory master/store will be reduced by the amount of the return PO. The PO will post to AP as a Misc. Debit transaction.

SALES ORDERS

How  are deposits are handled by VMMS?

Answer:  Typical sales order with a deposit

 

A.     Customer puts partial deposit on an order

(order remains open – DO NOT VERIFY)

B.     When Sales Order Post to AR is done, the GL is updated as follows:

-         Deposit Account is credited with the deposit dollar amount

-         Cash Account is debited with the deposit amount

C.     Once all the material has been received by the customer, Sales Order can

now be verified and billed.

1.      The amount remaining after the deposit can either be paid by cash, check or charge or put on customer’s account

2.      If the deposit happens to be more than the final total, the difference can be refunded as cash, check or charge or put on customer’s account.

When the Verified order is posted in Daily Work, the GL is updated:

-         Deposit Account is debited with the original deposit amount

-         Sales Accrual account is Credited with the entire sales amount (including the original deposit amount)

-         Either the Cash account or the AR control account is debited with the remainder after the deposit (depending on how the remainder was paid – cash or put on customer’s account).
