About the Select Vouchers Fields

Services to be paid can be searched for using the following fields:

NOTE: If multiple vouchers are being searched for that are to be paid on one invoice, it is easier to leave these fields (except the Supplier) blank so that all qualifying services will display and can be matched against the suppliers invoice and selected.

Voucher Number From/To

If the voucher number is known, enter it as both the From number and To number. If the approximate numbering range is known, enter the range From/To.

Supplier

This field defaults to the supplier selected when the invoice header was started. If the supplier is changed here, the presumption is that the costs of a voucher that was issued to this supplier for a service is going to be paid to another supplier. An example of this is explained under Pay Transactions to a Master Supplier.

Master Supplier

This drop-down can be used to locate services for the subsidiary suppliers of a Master Supplier. This can then be used to pay the master supplier amounts owed to subsidiary suppliers. Examples of this process are explained under Pay Transactions to a Master Supplier.

Service Date Range From/To

Services can be searched for based on their service date using these two fields.

Travel Date Range From/To

Services can be searched for based on the booking travel date using these two fields.

Booking Reference

If only the booking reference is known, it can be entered here. Capitalisation is not important nzfi101502 will find NZFI101502.

Booking Name

Enter the first several characters of the name on the booking to search with this field. I.e., if the Booking Name is Hardy/Laurel Party, entering Hardy in this field and clicking Search will locate the service. Entering Laurel and clicking Scroll will not find the service, since the booking name does not start with Laurel.

Branch/Department

These two drop-downs relate to the Booking Reference Branch and Department, so the search can be for services for specific booking Branch and/or booking Department combinations.

Ticketed Date Range

These fields are only used by systems that are configured for the Air add on.

Close Vouchers

When checked, the system will automatically "Close" the voucher when the invoice is saved. Closing the voucher means it is flagged as closed and paid and further access to the voucher will trigger warnings.

Pay Joint Services

In the Resource Assignment module, pax having the same service on the same day at the same time can be joined - e.g., a transfer for 3 individual bookings of 2 pax each off the same flight would generate 3 service lines and vouchers. If this field is left unchecked then the vouchers for the joint services will appear as individual vouchers to be selected and added to the invoice. If it is checked then the joint service vouchers will be grouped together and allow selection of the total.

Search

When selections have been completed, click this button to commence the search.

NOTE: If large quantities of services are located, a message will display advising that a large number of services have been found and the scroll can be cancelled to add filters.
