When unconfirmed vouchers are converted to Enterprise Edition, GL distribution or receiver matching data is lost and must be re-entered.

In earlier QAD versions, the Accounts Payable module allows you to enter vouchers marked as unconfirmed. In Standard Financials, you can match unconfirmed vouchers to purchase order receipts and you can enter GL distribution lines without creating actual GL transactions.

In earlier QAD versions, you could modify or delete unconfirmed vouchers entirely. The vouchers are not widely visible within the system, and are not available for payment. Once the voucher and GL distribution or matching are approved, you can use a separate confirmation function to set the voucher status to confirmed. At that point, the system creates the required GL transactions, prohibits further modification to the voucher, and makes the voucher available for payment.

In Enterprise Edition, the creation and timing of general ledger postings within the supplier invoice process is controlled using invoice status codes. However, Enterprise Edition does not have an invoice status code for creating supplier invoices with detailed GL posting and matching data that can later be reversed or deleted. The Initial invoice status code provides a similar, but not equivalent, functionality. Supplier invoice header data (for example, the supplier, PO number, and invoice total) is held, but GL or matching data is not. Therefore, converting unconfirmed vouchers erases the GL distribution or receiver matching data held against the supplier invoice.
