When starting to use IFS Applications the information on the voucher type must be modified. The voucher type information is used when financial transactions are created in the various components in IFS Applications.
When a new company is created, the system automatically creates function groups, voucher types, and voucher number series. The user group AC is linked to all voucher number series, except for voucher type YE - Year End Accounting. The user group YE is linked to the voucher number series for voucher type YE. Each voucher type is linked to a function group and has one voucher number series per year or per period if the Voucher Number Series per Period check box was selected when creating the company. User groups are also linked to the voucher number series that they will use. IFS Applications has several predefined function groups (see below).
The Voucher Types window in IFS/Accounting Rules contains information about the voucher types and the function groups in the company. IFS Applications has several predefined function groups. Each voucher type is linked to a function group and has one voucher number series per year. The number series are entered in Voucher Series Per Voucher Type. In User Group per Voucher Series, the user groups are linked to the voucher number series that they will use.
