Before you start

  • Reports access

The AccountRight way

Where to find it: Purchases command centre > Reports > Payables

  1. Open the Purchases command centre and click Reports. The Payables group has the reports.
  2. Choose Aged Payables [Summary] for one line per supplier, with the balance due then its age.
  3. Or choose Aged Payables [Detail] to list each open bill under the supplier in the right ageing column.
  4. Pick the suppliers and the ageing date, then print, send or export.
  5. Click a total in the Total Due or Ageing columns to open Analyse Payables for that supplier. Click an ID No. or Date to open the bill.
  6. For a report as at a past date, run Payables Reconciliation [Summary] or [Detail]. For GST on cash-based reporters run Payables With Tax.

Limits in AccountRight

  • Aged Payables shows all current creditors. Payables Reconciliation shows creditors up to the date entered.
  • Reports show only transactions entered in windows your user ID is allowed to open.

Good to know in AccountRight

  • Payables With Tax helps reconcile GST for cash-based GST reporters.
  • If Payables With Tax shows an Out of Balance amount, that is the gap between the linked payables account and the total of outstanding bills.
  • Every supplier with a payables balance is listed in Payables With Tax, even if no GST is owing.
  • Run Reconcile purchases with the linked payables account in the Company Data Auditor to get the Payables Reconciliation Exceptions report when the two totals disagree.

Common mistakes

  • Using Aged Payables when you need the balance at a past date. Payables Reconciliation takes a date.
