Vendor Balances

Access this form using Activities>Accounts Payable>Display Vendor Balances.

Use this form to view balance, document, transaction information for a vendor either on a specific document or within a date range (Date From and Date To). You can view transactions for All Activity, Open A/P Invoices, All A/P Invoices, A/P Credits, or A/P Checks.

After entering the Vendor ID, and the Lookup From transaction code, you can select a specific Document Number, A/P Account, and date range. Then click the Display button to display the documents for the criteria you specified. If needed, click the Clear button to clear all boxes on the form and the document information in the table.

 

Vendor Information Vendor ID: Enter a valid vendor ID, or select one from the drop-down list. The vendor name then displays to the right.

Vendor Transactions: Use this group box to decide which documents appear in the Vendor Transactions table.

  • Lookup From: Enter a transaction code or select one from the drop-down list. Your choices for transaction codes are All Activity (AACT), Open A/P Invoices/Credits (OAPI), All A/P Invoices/Credits (AAPI), Applied Credits (CRD), and Checks/Vouchers (CHK).
  • Document Number (Optional): Select a document number. This selection serves as a filter so that the system only displays the specified document number. If left blank, all documents display in the table for the selected transaction code. The dates will not be available since a document number can only have one date.
  • A/P Account (Optional): Select an A/P type (Accounts Payable – Vendors) G/L account. This selection serves as a filter so that the system only displays balance information for this account number. If account level security is applied, you may not have access to this box.
  • Date From, Date To: Select the date range for the documents you want to display balances for in the table. If the same date is selected for both boxes, the documents created on that day display. This filter only applies to the original document (Level 1); the associated documents are not filtered on these dates. If dates are not available, ensure that the Document Number box is blank.

Vendor Transactions Table: This table displays document information for the type that was chosen in the Lookup From box. The column names change accordingly.

  • All Activity: all transactions associated with the Vendor ID, including CD – Transactions>Enter Cash Disbursements and CDS – Activities>Check Writing>Write Checks
  • Open A/P Invoices/Credits: all outstanding invoices and On Account credits
  • All A/P Invoices/Credits: all invoices
  • Applied Credit: all credits

This table supports the drill down feature, which allows you to view transactions from the document level through the detailed transaction level. You can click on the plus (+) sign next to a transaction to expand the outline. When an item has been expanded, the plus (+) sign becomes a minus (-) sign. To collapse an item, simply click the minus sign. The following sample shows the three levels of detail:
