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.

Printing Options

You can generate both the Cash Requirements report and the Cash Requirements Bank Summary report from Payment Processing (Accounting > Accounts Payable > Payment Processing) as well as from Vision Reporting.

Leading Zeros in Voucher Numbers

If your firm uses leading zeros in voucher numbers but you do not want to display the zeros on this report, clear the Display voucher number leading zeros option on the Accounts Payable tab of the System AP Configuration form.

Multicompany

If you use the Multicompany feature, 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 individually for each company on the Accounting tab of the Vendor Info Center. This report only displays information for vendors for which Approved for use in processing for company <active company> is selected on the Accounting tab of the Vendor Info Center.

In addition, the report only includes vouchers that were posted from the active company.

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.
