AP vouchers with zero dollar docamount?

Deanne Rasmussen asked 7 years ago
Trying to upload AMEX bills – the process is to enter a miscellaneous charge voucher to individual vendors (like Amazon, xyz company, etc) where employees used the american express to charge amounts – these charges are entered as:  docamount = 0.00, distribution line 1 = travel expense of $500 (dr), distribution line 2 = accrued charged expenses = $500 (cr)
When the american express bill is entered, accrued charge expenses is debited the $500 and accounts payable is credited $500
I can do this if I enter each voucher individually into GP 2015.
 
However, I cannot get the map to accept a docamount of 0.00
 
Keep getting error 308
 
Does anyone know if this can be done with SmartConnect?

Yes you can do this.
if you look at the error message, it is telling you how the doc amount is calculated:
Document Amount is incorrect – DOCAMNT <> MSCCHAMT + PRCHAMNT + TAXAMNT + FRTAMNT – TRDISAMT
a doc amount of $0 is wrong – the document IS for $500.  The account amount would be $0 because you paid it on the document.  Set your doc amount to $500 and you should get past this.

we don’t want to pay the vendor $500 – it is a miscellaneous charge – if we do it your way (which is what was done in the past), the vendors accummulate amounts which do not get paid to the vendor – it gets paid to american express. This can be done when entering directly into GP but why can’t it using smartconnect?
