Voucher Overview

A voucher is a document that provides evidence of a transaction. For example, all of the following documents are vouchers: a source document, a form indicating a credit against future purchases or expenditures, or a document authorizing a cash disbursement.

After you add these documents to the system—that is, include document data in an invoice—and the invoice is approved for payment, the system creates a voucher in the background. The creation of a voucher maintains an audit trail.

Voucher numbers appear on the AP Activity Report, the Invoice List, and the Payment Inquiry Detail Tab.
