Overview:

For a broader overview of Dockets, see Dockets Overview.

This screen is used to investigate docket entries, especially determining which ones remain unreconciled (i.e., have not been matched to AP Voucher or AP Invoice lines). You can also reverse unreconciled dockets in situations where the docket was entered as a mistake or will never be invoiced. The goal is to reconcile all dockets within a reasonable time period, otherwise invalid costs may be sitting on jobs.

By default, unreconciled dockets within the past month are shown, but you can change the Filter to display different data. You can also sort by column by clicking on the column header.

You can utilise the information on this screen to find dockets by Supplier, Date, Docket No, Job, etc.,  and either chase up the invoice status or Reverse the docket, clearing the cost from the job and the accrual.

To do a reversal, first filter for and tick the lines on the rightmost column, then click the Reverse button. The system will generate reversing journals to negate the docket entry. This is more desirable than tracking down and deleting dockets from the source, especially since they may be locked for editing.

The New Docket button will open a new tab on the Docket List and immediately pop up a new docket header with today's date. This is used as a convenient shortcut to create additional dockets that were missed when reconciling.

Use the Print button to create a printable report based on the filtered display.

Next Steps:

Working in combination with AP Vouchers or AP Invoices, you can effectively manage the matching of docket lines and reversal of unbilled dockets.

Ensure that docket batches are exported via Batch Control.
