Contents of the Print Accounts Payable History Report Screen

Use the fields and options to configure the Print Accounts Payable History Report screen.

Identification

Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.

You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency. The saved parameters are also useful and necessary when you want to run the process as part of a batch job. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. When you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters automatically display as selection defaults. The page setup and print options, if there are any, are also included in the saved parameter ID. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.

Field Description
Parameter ID

Enter, or click to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made on the screen, such as PERIOD or QUARTERLY.

When you save your record, all the selections made on the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query.

You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. After the default selections display on the screen, you can override the defaults.

Description

Enter, or click to select, a parameter description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.

Report Format

If a vendor has more than one voucher and each voucher has a check history, the report includes a subtotal for each voucher. If you use Multicurrency, the report also includes the transaction currency code, the pay currency code, and the functional currency code.

For vendor payments, realized gains and losses can arise from variances in the currency exchange rates used to calculate the translation from transaction currency to functional currency for accounts payable vouchers. The Total/Unrealized Gain/Loss amount added to the Vendor Total Vouchers amount equals the Vendor Total Paid amount, since the amount paid includes the realized gains/losses.
