Message Type Field, Purchase Header Table
Specifies the message type for the purchase header. Message types include Reference No., Invoice Information, Message, Long Message, and Tax Message.
A purchase invoice reference number is entered for a purchase invoice, purchase order, or purchase journal row.
The reference number is usually found on the vendor’s invoice. When you enter the reference number, it is validated.
The invoice data refers to a vendor-provided customer number (Vendor Card/Our Account No.), the vendor’s invoice number, and the invoice date. This data is displayed on the vendor’s account statement. The invoice data cannot be used if you enter the invoice in the Purchase Journal.
A free-form message can be any message of up to 70 characters. A long message can be any message of up to 420 characters. You can extend a long message to the Invoice Message 2 field, when the first field is full. A tax message contains both a reference number and information on the tax being paid. When you use a tax message, enter the reference number in the Invoice Message field and information about paid levies in the Invoice Message 2 field (up to 250 characters).
The purchase invoice reference can be found on purchase invoices and purchase orders.
