    We interface invoices from Imagenow and our AP Dept then reviews the invocies in AP20.2.  They sometimes have to add a tax code to the invoice and in order to do this they must delete the invoice, clear out the voucher field, chosse the tax code and then add the invoice again.  I would like to have the voucher number field automatically be set to blank when a user deletes an invoice.  This way the users will only have to click delete, choose the tax code and click add.  The sstep of clearing the voucher field will not be needed. Any suggestions? 

    Thanks

      Hi Kate,

      You can definitely do that with Design Studio & JavaScript, but you need to handle it using two events and a variable:

      - Outside of the events, create a global variable (e.g. gsFC) in which to store the FC being processed
      - In OnBeforeTransaction, save the passed fc to the variable gsFC:
      - In OnAfterTransaction, if (gsFC == "D") lawForm.setFormValue("whatever","");

        You could also do this with a COBOL user exit that fires after the transaction (i.e. AP20EPD).

          Thanks as always John. I think we'll go the design studio route.. I want to run it by our finance department first. It is a work around for the AP20.2 not allowing calclulating tax on the change function. Our invoices are interface from Imagenow with AP520 and are created without a tax code. Our AP staff reviews the invoice in AP20.2 to see if a tax code needs to be added. Tax is only calculated on the add function not on the change. The only option at this point is to delete the invoice, clear the voucher field, select the tax code,and click add.

                Hmmm. There are a lot of recent AP20.2 changes for 9.0 pertaining to tax. In fact, I even think you can change tax codes now and it will recalc/change the invoice. You might want to check that out.

                  We have an enhancement request in with Lawson. They say it is functioning as designed. The tax calculation is only done when the
                  invoice is added. If you add an invoice with a tax code and want to change the tax code it won't allow it. It might be because are
                  choosing the tax code on the invoice level (API-TAX-CODE )in the header and not on the distribution line level. Anyway Lawson says
                  it only calculates the tax on the Add function not on the Change.

                    I do stand corrected. I tested with the latest patches, and you cannot change the tax code.

                      OK, a little late reply here but anyway..

                      They review it when it is already in AP. Why not review it before, using AP52 for viewing the invoices before they have updated AP and the records are in apcinvoice, apcdistrib and apcattach? That way your staff could fix the problem before updating AP.
