Vendor Types and Liability Codes

As part of Accounting, you can define vendor types and liability codes to simplify the entry of AP vouchers.

On the Liability Accounts tab in Settings > Cash Management > Accounts Payable, you:

  • Set up vendor types.
  • Set up liability codes.
  • Associate liability codes with a general ledger account and a vendor type.

When you enter an AP voucher in Transaction Center > Transaction Entry > AP Vouchers, the AP Liability field prefills with the liability code for the vendor type that is defined for the vendor in the Firms hub on the Vendors tab. The account number associated with the liability code is credited (implicit) when you post the AP voucher.

You can change the default liability code during transaction entry.
