How To: Find Suppliers due for payment
Here is one way of determining which supplier invoices are now due for payment:
- The Account screen's "Debtors/Creditors" grid is intended to provide an overview of total debt:
- When looking at creditors, those periods having values shown in red potentially have invoices due.
- Using the right-click context menu option "Goto Company" takes you to the Supplier screen.
- The Supplier screen's "Statement Transactions" grid lets you see which purchase invoices are actually due for payment.
At this point, you may wish to refer to How To: Make Supplier Payments.
Example
In the following example, Freddie's Foods payment terms are set to 14 days.
The "Debtors/Creditors" grid shows how Freddie's Food's puchase invoices appear as aged debtors when the "Creditors" and "Months" checkboxes are set:
Notice how the values for Periods 1, 2 and 4 are red, indicating they are potentially due for payment.
In the corresponding Supplier screen, the rows in the "Statement Transactions" grid with a light sandy coloured background identify which payments are actually due.
