Single Recurrence Flag
Single Recurrence Flag
The Single Recurrence flag allows you to control how often a standing payable is paid for each month. You specify this flag on the standing payable header screen when you are entering the standing payable. When this flag is set to Y, the standing payable may be used to create an invoice only once for each month. When this flag is set to N, multiple invoices may be created from the standing payable each month. You can change the value of this flag at any time.
Note:
· The Single Recurrence flag is used only during invoice creation. Changing the flag from N to Y will not affect any invoices that have already been created for the standing payable. You would need to delete any "extra" invoices manually.
· When you select a standing payable, you must enter an accounting date for the resulting invoice. MAC-PAC uses this accounting date when processing the Single Recurrence flag. When the Single Recurrence flag is Y for a standing payable, you cannot select that payable if:
- An invoice has already been created for the standing payable with the same accounting month/year
- The standing payable has already been selected with the same accounting month/year (but not yet converted into an invoice).
You can select a standing payable for a month/year that has already been closed. This would have the same effect as creating an invoice manually in a closed period.
