Available Audit Reports
Each batch type will have its own set of audit reports. The following audit reports are available for this module:
- Batch List — Prints the AP Entry Audit List (invoice entry batch), AP Release Retainage Audit List (released retainage batch), or AP Payment Audit List (payment batch), showing details of each entry in the batch. Entries are displayed in batch sequence order.
- Job Cost Distribution – Prints the AP JC Entry Distribution List, showing the invoices that will be interfaced to JC. Information shown includes the phase, cost type, unit of measure, and unit.
- Equipment Distribution – Prints the AP EM Entry Distribution List, showing the invoices that will be interfaced to EM. Information shown includes the vendor, AP reference (invoice) number, material, equipment unit of measure, and units. May also include PO/PO Item or Work Order/Work Order Item, if applicable.
- Inventory Distribution – Prints the AP IN Entry Distribution List, showing the invoices that will be interfaced to IN. Information includes the GL account, sales unit of measure and units, and the standard unit of measure and units for each transaction.
- GL Account Distribution – Prints the AP GL Entry Distribution List or AP GL Payments Distribution list (depending on batch type), showing the debit and credit amounts for each transaction.
- Error List – Lists the sequence number and the error message for any entries containing errors. You must correct the errors before you post the batch.
Note: Users who have access to batch processing forms do not automatically
have access to the related audit reports. It is recommended that if they will be
processing batches, you give them access to the related audit reports using the VA Report Security form. If users do not have access to each report, they
will receive an error message when trying to preview/print them, but they will be able
to post.
Important: If you selected the Attach Batch Report to
HQ Batch Control checkbox in the AP Company Parameters form (Audit
Options tab), restricted access to one or more audit reports will prevent the user from
posting the batch.
