Post Voucher Transactions by Invoice Date

When this feature is active, the transaction date is set to the invoice date for each invoice. If not the transaction date for the batch applies to all invoices. The advantage of using this feature is that the g/l and invoice aging remain tightly integrated.

Voucher as Net

This feature is used to automatically reduce AP Debit Distributions by a proportion of discount. This reduction if offset by a debit to the Discounts Pending account. When the check is paid, the Discounts Pending account is credited by the amount of the discount.
