The purchase user parameters ACHSTRDAT - Purchase start date (chapter TC, group CLO) and ACHENDDAT - Purchase end date (chapter TC, group CLO) make it possible to define, by user, the date ranges for entering invoices, credit memos and complementary invoices.
No sequence number is used by this function.
The counters of invoices, credit memos and additional invoices must be selected as 'Chronological control' since counters managed on a chronological basis can be used for these types of documents. These counters ensure that a document which has been entered cannot have a date prior to that of the previous document. The counter number of the previous document has to be strictly less than the counter number of the new document.
The following automatic journals are used in the posting processes associated with the function :
 
PIHI : Facture fournisseur (achat)
The default dimensions sections assignment is performed through the following codes :
(defined at level Company)
 
PIH (All companies ) : Purchase Invoice  Header
 
PIV (All companies ) : Invoice invoicing element
 
PIC (All companies ) : Add. purchase invoice line
 
PID (All companies ) : Purchase Invoice Line
 
PCOSTPIH (All companies ) : Purchase Cost of invoice
This function is object managed. The creation, modification, and deletion operations can be activated or deactivated for a given user. Filters by roles can also be associated with this function.
As data is linked to a site, a filter per site can be activated.
The following options can be activated or deactivated for each user :
 
          Post
        
 
          Open items
        
 
          Unblock matching error
        
 
          Issuing
        
This function is managed with entry transactions which can be set up.
A standard transaction is suggested when installing the software. A setup function is used to modify this standard transaction or create new personalized transactions. This setup essentially exists to specify some functional characteristics of the transaction and display as well as the default loading for certain fields.
The following tables are used by the function. Their content must be updated if necessary :
|                  Table  | 
                               Table description  | 
            
|---|---|
| 
                 TABPIVTYP [TPV]  | 
              
The definition of the invoice type (see the Invoice type documentation) is used to specify if the document has the invoice, additional invoice, credit memo or credit memo on return type). The automatic journal (which is used to generate an accounting entry during posting (see the Automatic journal documentation) is specified at this stage. It is possible to have an automatic journal for each document type. The PIHI journal delivered as standard is used to automatically make the difference between the different document types. It is also possible to define at this level a type of journal and any specific journal code. It is at the level of the journal type (see the Journal type documentation) that a specific sequence number counter can be defined for the automatic numbering of the journal entries created (see the Sequence number counters documentation). If no sequence number counter is specified at the level of the journal type, it is the sequence number counter specified at the level of the sequence number counter assignment option that will be used (see the Sequence number counter assignment).
The fiscal years and accounting periods must be open.
If you want to comply with DGI (France), the CTLPERINV - Control period invoice date parameter must be set to: Yes.  
In this case:
The following tables are implemented by the function :
