Viewing Information About A/P Transactions

Use the A/P Ledger window to view every transaction that has affected an account's A/P balance. The function lists these transactions in chronological order as far back as system records allow, with the most recent transaction listed at the bottom of the screen.

To view information about an A/P transaction:

  1. From the A/P menu, select A/P Ledger to display the A/P Ledger window.

  2. In the Vendor field, Enter the vendor account's name for which you want to view transactions. The system populates the corresponding Address and Phone fields.

Note: If you access the A/P Ledger window from the A/P Inquiry window, the system populates the window with the vendor account's name, address, and phone number using the data on the A/P Inquiry window.

  1. If you want to run the ledger for a specific date, enter a date in the As of Date field and press Enter.

The system populates the following view-only fields with information for each transaction:
