Is there an ability to restrict or at least warn that the branch entered in whatever type of transaction is NOT consistent with the Default Branch recorded in the Project record? Example: Branch 200 is the Default Branch for Project 1022000 and should always be recorded as a Branch 200 transaction. The AP Clerk enters a bill and records the transaction to Branch 100 Project 1022000, is it possible that either a "warning" or "error" notifies the AP Clerk that the transactions cannot be saved because of issue with the Branch/Project configuration and prompts a correction prior to Release and Posting of transaction. To be applicable across all modules (i.e. Finance, Banking, Time & Billing, Payables, Receivables)
Does the AP clerk has access to both branches?
@johnymt The answer to your question is "Yes" the AP Clerk has access to both branches. The question I have is "Is there a way to NOTIFY the user entering the bills that the BRANCH is not valid with the "Project" entered" so that we don't have to "clean" up later if inadvertently entered incorrectly. (Generally discovered when we get ready to do month end close and numbers are not matching from the GL TB Detail with the Project Reports.
@dawnmms I have somewhat similar situation. There are company A and B. But in my case Company A owns all the projects. So I am thinking of adding an approval workflow that kicks in if the <Invoice Branch = B> and <Invoice Details Project <> X >. That way if the user enter a project related bill while in Company B, the bill cannot be released directly. Will this help you?
@johnymt hmmmm....all the bills are paid thru Branch 100 but expensed to applicable "branches". Depending on what the project is will usually determine what "branch" should be used. I will need to recommend that all bills go thru an approval process before release so that errors can be caught before it is released...Just would be such a cool feature that when putting in the wrong branch, a warning would pop up that it is incompatible with the project selected. I am going to test an idea of perhaps having the project entered first and see if the "Default" branch populates the Branch.
Yes.
