Accounts Payable Journals

Hi All

Under the Accounts Payable Module, under Journal Section we have under Invoices we have four forms:

  1. Invoice Journal : For this i know the concept, as instead of creating the PO we just Select the Vendor and select the Offset account and post it.

2)Invoice Approve Journal: Can u explain me this journal why we are using this and also the form in the lines are in two section.

  1. Invoice Register : Can u Explain me this also in detail.

4)Vendor Invoice Pool excluding posting Details : Can u Explain me this also in detail.

Please explain, thanks in Advance.

The purpose of the invoice register journal is to pre-register invoices when they
arrive at the company and transfer them to an invoice pool for approval. In the
invoice register journal, an employee registers the following information:

Vendor account
,Invoice number,

Amount,

Person who approves the invoice.

The same employee validates and posts the journal to the accounts specified in
the posting profile. Usually the accounts are pending accounts where the amounts
requite the manual approval and reclassification by the person specified in the
journal line.

Invoice approve journal functionality is once u created the journal need to be approved by a manager or any higher authority.
