Job Cost Commitment edits in AP

We have a commitment entered.  The vendor and job are tied to the commitment.

 We’ve been told by the help desk that there are no edits in an AP entry to prompt to add the commitment.

 SAGE suggested sticky notes or leaving the insurance out of the system, and then prompt for insurance info.

 This is really barbaric…but is it true?

If the commitment field was after the job, couldn't an AP edit be built?

    HI! When I enter invoices, I want a pop up to let me know there is a commitment (subcontract or PO) that is tied with a Vendor and Job. Is that what you mean? I have asked multiple times and Sage let me know that they add things based on demand. So all you AP people, start demanding. Slight smile The thought of sticky notes is silly. If you're like me you have a lot of Vendors and a lot of jobs. I can't remember all the commitments and a pop up would be amazing. It is also very important because companies can potentially over pay a vendor. Every time an AP clerk forgets to apply a commitment to an invoice is a chance for overpayment.

    I agree with your comments.  It would be a nice feature at the end of the line to provide a pop-up warning telling the entry person that a commitment might be required or is available for the line..  With that said, what I have see put in place is to use MyAssitant to trap conditions like you mentioned.  For example if there is an invoice to a vendor that has a type of subcontractor, but there is no commitment, send a notification to someone.  This way the issue is found much sooner and can be adjusted.

    The AP Entry program should always look at the committment file and see if there are open subcontracts or POs for the vendor/job number entered.  If a committment is found and the user doesn't enter a committment, a warining should appear warning that a contract or PO exists for that vendor on that job!
