Entry Field Descriptions
Name | Type and Description |
Do You Want To Post At This Time ? | Y or N.
Enter Y if you want to post or N to decline. |
Post Vouchers Due Through | Enter a date in the standard date format.
Enter a date at least two payment dates in advance of the current date, preferably a few days ahead of this.
If you want recurring vouchers to appear on your Cash Requirements Report, put them out for a few periods in advance.
Any recurring vouchers, which are due up to the date entered, will be posted to the A/P Transaction File. Therefore, if today's date was entered here, the only vouchers, which would appear on the file, would be those, which become due today or earlier. Everything would be paid late. If the date of the next payment date were entered, only those vouchers, which became due on the payment date or before would appear on the file.
Still, everything would be paid late. If the date of the following payment date were entered, all vouchers, which were going to become due before the following payment date, would appear and could all be paid on time. It is best to enter a date at least a few days beyond this so that checks can be written for vouchers in advance of when they are due, in case there are any delays in getting the checks out. |
The following screens will appear, asking if you want to post, through what date you want to post, and whether vouchers are ready to post.
