Cash Requirements

Before you generate accounts payable checks, review the Cash Requirements report to review vouchers with unpaid balances and evaluate the effect that the payments will have on your cash accounts.

The Cash Requirements is available in two summary formats:

  • The Voucher Summary format displays voucher amount, previous payments, discounts, and the amount to be paid. Vouchers are grouped by vendor, and the report displays vendor totals.
  • The Vendor Summary format displays totals for the following for each vendor: voucher amounts, previous payments, discounts, and amounts to be paid.

The companion report, the Cash Requirements Bank Summary report, displays the balance for each bank code, the total amount of scheduled payments for vouchers posted to the bank code, and the projected balance after the payments are made.

Leading Zeros in Voucher Numbers

If your enterprise uses leading zeros in voucher numbers but you do not want to display the zeros on the report, clear the Display Voucher Number Leading Zeros option on the Accounts Payable tab of the System AP Configuration form (Settings > Advanced Accounting > System AP).

Multiple Companies

If you use multiple companies, you enter general vendor information, including vendor names and addresses, at the enterprise level, and all companies share that information. However, you enter accounting information for each vendor on a company-by-company basis, in the Firms hub.

This report only displays information for vendors with Approved for use in processing selected on the Vendor tab of the Firms form. The report includes vouchers that were posted from the active company.

Printing Options

You can also generate vendor reports from Payment Processing (Accounting > Accounts Payable > Payment Processing).

Options Dialog Box

Use the Options dialog box to specify reporting options for a report. Depending on the report, the dialog box contains one or more of the following tabs: General, Sorting/Grouping, Columns, Budget, Metrics, User Defined Sections, Activity, Drill Down, Layout, and Graph.
