Hi All,

 

We had a recent issue where erroneous postings were resulted in Distribution and Manufacturing Postings Analysis, as the relevant accounts had Code Part B as mandatory (which didn’t flow through in this case), . And it seemed that the system had created empty vouchers in Cancelled state for these every time  ‘Transfer Purchase Transactions’ was run (it’s a scheduled task). 

 

I found in the Help for Voucher Entry the following “Vouchers with Cancelled status are automatically created when a voucher transfer from IFS Distribution contains a voucher where all included voucher rows were returned to IFS Distribution due to errors. “

 

Has anyone come across such scenario? Does anyone know the actual purpose of the cancelled voucher creation that’s actually empty?

 

TIA

I would say it is just database logic and not for any particular purpose.

 

Voucher is created

Distribution rows are added

If all rows are in error, all rows get removed

Voucher that was started has to be cancelled

 

There is apparently the presumption that if you are going to transfer Distribution transactions, you know that you actually have transactions to transfer.  If you don’t have them to transfer, then you wouldn’t attempt the function.  If you set it up as a scheduled task, then the frequency should be far enough apart to ensure you have transactions that are valid if you don’t want the empty voucher.  Otherwise, the empty voucher is an indication of a bigger systemic problem.
