Clear Manually Matched Affidavits

You may enter and clear affidavits in Affidavit Clearance without entering affidavit detail if detail is not required for affidavit matching by the Band Code Definition and if no affidavits have been entered with detail for the client, product, estimate, station, broadcast month.

After manually matching affidavits using the Affidavit Manual Check List, follow these steps to clear them for payment:

  1. Sign on to the buying company/office and select Affidavits|Affidavit Clearance. clearancepmt.png

  2. Key Client, Product or Product Split, Estimate, Station call letters and band code. You may select between a Station View (default) and a Quick Clear option.  The Station View option will display matched affidavits for one station at a time.  The Quick Clear option will display matched affidavits for all stations on the screen at one time.

  3. If a Payee Rep was assigned on the buy line, key the rep code. Otherwise, leave this field blank.

  4. Key the Broadcast Month as MM/YY.

  5. Click <No Detail Affidavits> to display the detail window. clearancenodtspts.png

  6. Use the Add icon add.gif to add a row for each affidavit being entered.

  7. For each affidavit, key affidavit number, amount, amount qualifier (G or N), and Tax Amount (if applicable).

  8. If you are entering multiple affidavits for this buy, you may click the Recalculate icon recalcul.gif to calculate the Entered Total beneath the Ordered Total. You may also click a column heading to sort by that column. See Sorting Data in a Table for more information about sorting.

  9. Optional. Key a Scheduled Payment Date for any of the affidavits. This date may be used to limit the affidavits retrieved for payment in Check Request and/or to limit affidavits included on the Cleared But Undisbursed Report.

  10. To enter remittance comments to appear on the check for an affidavit, select the affidavits and see Affidavit Comments.

  11. When the Ordered Total and Entered Total are equal, click <Clear>. If you entered more than one affidavit, see Select Buy Lines to Clear. Otherwise, the affidavit is saved and cleared.

To remove an affidavit row, click the check box to select the row, then click the Remove icon remove.gif.
