Overview
The header section contains the common data for a vendor invoice. It contains the Accounts Payable account and amount. This section is referred to as the control side.
There are three key fields that uniquely identify a vendor invoice.
1) The Accounts Payable account
2) The Vendor
3) The Invoice Number
Note: If you have permissions, you can edit (on an already saved record) the vendor or invoice number. This can be done by selecting the notes icon next to each field. No audit is retained on the change.
