Vendor Activity
Access this report using Reports>Accounts Payable>Vendor Activity. |
Use this report to print all transactions related to payments to a Vendor ID, including the GL distribution. You can view check information along with the General Ledger coding. This report contains:
- Additional items, columns, and filters are available if any user defined fields were created by the Administrator using Organization>Set Up User Defined Fields. Only user defined fields with a field type of String, Editable Drop-Down List, Non-Editable Drop-Down List, Date, or Yes/No are available in the Items by Page group box on the Content tab. Also, if you have a transaction line type user defined field and it has a field type of Currency or Number, the system automatically totals the column in the report. User defined fields with a field type of Currency follow the formatting of the organization's functional currency.
- The Custom Columns feature, which allows you to create report columns that are not provided by the system. These columns can be set up to override report dates or create custom formulas.

Account Level Security is available for this report. This feature allows the Administrator to define the account codes and related amounts a user can view in the report. When account level security is activated by the Administrator for the organization (Security>Set Up Account Level Segments) and enabled for a user or group (Security>Set Up Account Level Security), the report will only print account information the user is allowed to see. Note that if a user does not have Account Level Security enabled, the user will see all account codes.
If the "Print Disclaimer on Report" check box is selected on the Security>Set Up Account Level Segments form, "This report may be affected by Account Level Security" prints in the header of this report. In that case, an * also prints after the report title.

Additional columns and filters are available to help track electronic payments.

The Source Document Amount, Session Currency, Session Currency Description, Source Currency, Source Currency Description, Source Expenses, Source Payments, Source Charges, Invoice Currency, Invoice Currency Description, and Invoice Charges columns are only available if the Administrator has installed and added this module (Organization>Add a Module). "Source" currency columns follow the formatting of the source currency, while other currency columns follow the functional currency.

Select this option to add amounts together and display one line item with the total amount. All document information must be identical for the system to add items together. |
Use this tab to change the font and page setup for a report.
Use this tab to secure the active report so that other users cannot save their changes to it. The user that selects the check box, and then saves the report, is the only user that can change or save it later. This check box cannot be cleared by any user other than the user that locked the report.
- If an invoice has multiple checks or credits, the invoice information will print for each check or credit. This means that the invoice or credit amount is added to the total multiple times. Therefore, the totals for the invoice and report are incorrect, and the following note will be added to the footer: "Partial Payments may cause totals to be overstated in the Expenses or the Charges column."
- The functional currency was determined by the Administrator when the organization was created (File>New Organization>Functional Currency panel).
