Open Item Comment Entry - Purpose
AP240E
The Open Item Comment Entry program (AP240E) enables the user to view and enter comments associated with a particular vendor invoice. These comments may be printed on a remittance document or referred to when working with the open item. All existing comments are pulled in and displayed when the user begins processing in the open item comments program. Additional comments are entered on blank lines provided.
The comments may be entered in two different ways. The user may enter a message code under the first column for a line. When the ENTER key is pressed, the program retrieves the associated message text and default print code from the Reference file and displays it on the screen. The user may then alter the message text and print code to create the desired comment.
The user may also enter free form comments and a desired print code. The entire screen is validated for valid print codes and accompanying comment or message text before the user is allowed to update the open item comments data base file and exit the program.
