Select Vendors to Pay will accumulate all Payables for each Vendor and set them up to be paid. Vendors that have a negative or zero amount due will not be selected.

You may select this report by Discount or Due Date.

When selecting vendors, regardless of how you choose (Discount or Due Date), it will always select the discount. You will have to remove the discount manually if you choose not to have it.

If the Payable has a discount taken, only the locations in the General Ledger Account distribution for those payables will get the discount. The General Ledger Account distribution is entered in “Voucher Entry” (7.1.1 field12).

Note: In the selection criteria, users can specify a specific vendor to be paid for the check print cycle, eliminating the need for manual selection in Payment Modification and Review.

A Cutoff Date must be entered.

You may print the report for a specific Accounts Payable Account and Accounts Payable Location.  The AP Location criterion is very useful if you enter an AP Account with the location number (example: 2000-2).

Using this selection effectively requires entering “All Vouchers” in “Voucher Entry” (7.1.1 field 12) with the AP Account and AP Location. You must enter “Y” to Multiple Account Payable Accounts in “AP Setup” in SYSTEM MANAGEMENT (10.2.1 field 5) to make the AP Account field accessible.

If you are a single location, do not choose a location number when in this screen.  Otherwise, a message may be displayed “no items to be paid” when in fact, there really are items.

The Current Bank Number will be displayed when this report is printed. This is based on the bank entered in “Location Entry” in SYSTEM MANAGEMENT (10.2.5.1). The bank would then be used when Vendors are setup to be paid. To verify the bank number, run a “Summary of Payments Report” (7.4.2.2). This will show the total by bank number.

If you see the prompt:  "Manual Check Cycle in Progress,” this means that you have written manual checks and have not posted them. You must complete that process first to select Vendors. To continue, just press <ENTER>.
