Accounts Payable Report
From TrueERP wiki
Overview
This button allows you to view the Accounts Payable Report as at the time of your last batch update. The Accounts Payable screen opens by default in summary form by supplier.
Once a Purchase Order has been generated, then the goods or services have been received, the Invoice Number and date entered, and the Purchase Order is saved, the account then becomes payable as per the terms of the Supplier. The Accounts Payable Report can also be viewed by 'Age By Transaction Date'.

The Accounts Payable Report is accessible via the following two tabs.
- Banking Tab

The Accounts Payable Report can be viewed in the following methods.
- Summary - This displays Outstanding Balances as a total per Supplier
