Voucher Match Problems

Hello, list.
=20
A couple of things dealing with the voucher match process in OneWorld...
=20
In World, all you needed to bring up an order to voucher match was the
order number...but in OneWorld, you need to know the order number,
document type, and either the supplier number or the ordering company
number. Of course, when we get an invoice, the vendor has no idea what
their address book number is, or what our company number is. We have
dozens of companies (funds) that we order to the same vendors with, so
what used to take 5 seconds to voucher now takes over a minute, with the
extra lookup. At a few hundred vouchers a day, we are being dragged
down considerably. =20
=20
Also, again new to OneWorld is the concept that if you want to create
several vouchers in a batch, and they are from several different
companies, the company number that is assigned to each voucher is the
company from the FIRST voucher you did in the batch, not from the
subsequent different orders.=20
=20
Has anyone else had these issues, and are there any workarounds?
=20
Thanks.

Jim,

Yes it always struck me as odd that you'd have to enter the supplier # in a voucher match in which you've already entered the PO #. We have a fairly low volume of PO's and vouchers, so it's not a huge headache for us. But I suppose one possible solution is to put some custom code in the voucher program so that when you enter the PO #, as soon as you tab out of that field, you do a lookup on the F4301 table to retrieve the supplier # and then populate that into the supplier # field on the voucher program.

I know this is a custom mod, but if it's a real drain on your daily operation, it may be worth your time to improve your organization's efficiency.
