Journal Vouchers in an Activity

You use journal vouchers to modify financial data for an invoice that has been paid. You also use journal vouchers to record payments for which no invoice was submitted. You can associate the journal voucher with an activity, a commitment, or most commonly, directly with the affected invoice. Journal vouchers enable you to keep accurate accounting records without modifying an invoice that has already been finalized.

Accessing Journal Vouchers in an Activity

You can view, but not add or edit, journal vouchers in an activity. For information about creating and editing a journal voucher, see Journal Voucher Management.

Example:
You create a journal voucher to reconcile an invoice that was overpaid. You view the details for the journal voucher from within the activity with which the original invoice is associated. You check the status to make sure that the journal voucher has been sent to your external accounting system, and that the journal voucher has a status of Reconciled.
