This option is almost identical to Batch Input of Documents, so the majority of the explanation for this help topic is covered in Batch Input of Documents.It is used for batching on of documents, that are of a certain type [in most cases PL transactions of a "B" type, for bank transactions]
However, certain fields must be populated within Nominal System Parameters to enable this option to work properly. Within the Cash Book tab of Nominal System Parameters [and the section entitled Cash Book Menu] it is prudent to enter a PL account type, otherwise ALL PL accounts will be displayed when using the Cash Expense Input routine. Usually a "B" type account is used as these are predominantly bank related transactions. In addition, a PL Company must be entered [to indicate which PL company is being used for this NL option]
Once this set-up has been performed, one can use the option as follows:
From the Autoline Master menu select the Nominal Ledger option and the Company you require.
The Nominal Ledger menu is displayed.
Select the Cash Expense Input option.
A dialog box is displayed asking if you require VSB postings.
Note: The appearance of this dialog box is controlled by a system parameter.
Do one of the following:
Click the Yes button if there are postings within a batch which you want to be posted to the costing records of a vehicle in the vehicle stockbook files.
Click the No button if you do not require a vehicle stockbook posting in any of the batches being entered in this session.
The Batch Input of documents form is displayed.
From this point the Batch Input function goes through three key elements in order to allow you to complete a batch:
The only difference from Document Header Details is that the account field at the head of the form is replaced by a field called "Cash type". The search available will display all accounts of the type that comply with the account type in Nominal System Parameters. The settlement terms and due date fields are not present when using this option.
The rest of the process is as per Document Transaction Details
