TechNote

Reconciliation of vendor accounts is important to the proper management of a company’s accounts payable. Performing this function regularly can help to spot issues early enough to protect the company from major problems.

The Past-Due Aging Report in AccountMate allows you to generate an aging summary of your invoices as of a certain date. It provides a complete list of current and past-due accounts to help you analyze the composition of your vendor balances and reconcile these balances with the Accounts Payable GL Account ID balance in the GL module. This week’s TechNote discusses the use of the Past-Due Aging Report and General Ledger Listing during the reconciliation process and provides tips for reconciling vendor balances.
