In some cases certain amounts such as sales tax distributions and 3rd party liabilities are not truly payable until the taxpayer remits payment. We refer to this as "payables cash accounting". This practice should be contrasted with "payables accrual accounting" in which the liability is realized when the bill is created (as opposed to when it is paid).
If your organization does not practice payable cash accounting, you may skip this section as accrual accounting is the system default. If you practice payables cash accounting, the contents of this section describe how to configure the system appropriately.
