AP Vouchers should only be used with revenue share in very specific situations. Confirm with the Client Success Team if you are unsure about when to use an AP voucher with revenue share. If you use AP vouchers with revenue share, there are no audit details in the AP voucher. The audit details are housed in the standard revenue share.
In addition, both the voucher and the payment must be dated in the exact same month regardless of the allocation timeline. The system will display an error when you attempt to close the books stating that there is outstanding revenues share that needs to be allocated.
For your typical revenue share activities, refer to the practices and resources housed in Revenue Share Overview. Regardless of any situations where AP vouchers and revenue share are used in conjunction, they cannot be posted in bulk. Any steps describing the posting process below are specified on posting and paying the individual voucher before performing the revenue share.
