The Post Vouchers to Payables process will record each Voucher in the Vendor's Account and automatically creates "Journal Entries" in GENERAL LEDGER (8.1.1). Remember to print the "Voucher Proof Report" (7.1.2) before posting.
An Accounting Period may be set to Open or Closed through "General Ledger Setup" in SYSTEM MANAGEMENT (10.2.3 field 9). If you try to post to a period that is Closed, an error message will be displayed and posting will stop. An example of the error message is: "99/10 is a Closed period. Please open before using."
NOTE: PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT THE PORT IN QUESTION IS NOT POSTING BEFORE ATTEMPTING THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS.
If the system displays a message that a port is running a posting process and you know for a fact that the port is not posting vouchers at this time, go to TCL and type CT MASTER AP.LOCKS. If the port is on line one of the item, then you can delete this item to allow posting. Type DELETE MASTER AP.LOCKS and you should now be able to post at another port.
A posted Voucher is now a Payable.
