Accounting

As long as you specify the 12/00 period when you enter the a/p invoices they
will hit that period. If you want to issue a/p checks for those invoices but
the check date is going to be 1/01 then make sure you use a 01/01 check date
when you select your invoices and when you post them they will hit in 01/01
( i usually do not post my new month checks until i have done the previous
months bank rec but it won't hurt if you post them )

Ps: you can physicall close your month and year and still post to December
as long as you designate your group to be posted to 12/00 ( you do have to
take the check mark of the "closed box" in periods.

I have a stupid question but I need to clarify. We have invoices that
we are entering still for December 2000. We did not close for the
month. We are making sure the invoices go into 12/2000. Now some of
these invoices are getting paid this Friday. Which will hit the ledger
1/2001. She is saying this wash my invoices out. But isn't Vantage
Smart enough that it should be able to tell the invoices were for
12/2000 and paid 01/2001. Paying them this pay should not effect my G.L
for December? Right??? I know my accounting skills are a little
dusty but to me this is common sense (or if I am wrong maybe not)

I believe the problem is she does not want to rerun reports but before I
say anything I want to make sure I am right.

When you create the AP group, you specify the period that the GL
transactions will go to. (Should be PO Clearing & Payables.) When you run
the checks, that date dictates the period used for the entries to Payables
& Cash.

Mine are still in the shrink wrap :) Don't ask me which side is CR & DB!
