Check

Verifies the G/L accounts and cost objects, calculates the debit and credit totals, and counts the number of line items in the journal voucher.

Park

Saves the journal voucher, but does not complete it. Later you can open the parked journal voucher and change it before completing it.

The journal voucher is assigned an SAP document number, displayed at the top of the screen. Record this number for future reference.

Complete

Sends the journal voucher to CAO for review and posting. If additional required information is needed, you will be prompted to supply it.

If no errors are found, the completed journal voucher is routed to CAO for review and posting. A journal voucher not previously parked is assigned an SAP document number, displayed at the top of the screen. Record this number for future reference.

NOTE: If you want to be notified by email whenever your journal vouchers are approved or rejected, you can subscribe to Email Event Notification. For information on setting up this option, see SAP Email Event Notification.

Deletes line items from the journal voucher. Click the selection box for each line item you want to delete, then click the Del button.

Supply PO or Reference Number

If you have used an Equipment G/L account, such as 421818, you need to supply either a purchase order number (PO#) or a reference number for each line item. A purchase order number references an official order sent to a vendor by MIT requesting goods and services. A reference number may be a requisition number, if for example, the equipment was purchased from the MIT Computer Center.

Supply WBS Element

If you have used an F&A underrecovery G/L account (800703-800704, 490318-490325, 420316), you need to supply a WBS element for each line item. The WBS element is the one that incurred the underrecovery that is being funded by this JV.

For more information about underrecovery, see F&A Underrecovery on Research WBS Elements in SAP for MIT Documentation on the Web.
