Verify

This field initially defaults according to the selection in HQ Compliance Codes .

Check this box if this compliance should be verified in Accounts Payable. Verification depends on flags checked in AP Company Parameters , on the Audit Options tab. If compliance is not met, then you may be warned at the time of invoice entry, invoices may not be pulled for payment, or you may just receive a warning on the AP Payment Preview with Compliance report, which is run when payments are selected.

Do not check this box if compliance does not need to be verified in AP.

PO Compliance

Exp Date

For Date type compliance codes, specify the date this code is effective through.

If using the Verify feature, this date is checked when printing the AP Payment Preview With Compliance report. If the code has expired (expiration date is older than the invoice date), a warning displays stating that the purchase order is out of compliance.

PO Compliance

Complied

This field only applies to “Flag” type compliance codes - "Flag" is selected in the Comp Type field.

Check this box if compliance has been met.

PO Compliance

Vendor Memo
