Resetting Open A/P (ROAP)

Purpose: Use this menu option to reset the open A/P amount for each vendor, based on the balance remaining on open A/P invoices for the vendor.

When to run the reset: Normally, you use this menu option only if the A/P open balance is out of balance.

Viewing the open A/P: The open A/P amount is stored in the Open A/P field in the Vendor Extended table and displays on the following screens:

• Display or Change Vendor Extended Screen in the Working with Vendors (WVEN) menu option

Display A/P Invoices Screen in the A/P Invoice Inquiry (DAPI) menu option

To reset: Enter ROAP in the Fast path field at the top of any menu or select Reset Open A/P from a menu and press Enter.

Note: The system does not advance you to a screen, and instead, automatically submits the Reset Open A/P program.

Determining the open A/P amount: The system looks at the Invoice Detail table to determine the open A/P balance amount for a vendor.

For each invoice detail record that is in an open status for the vendor, the system:

• multiplies the Cost by the number of Units to determine the open invoice amount.

• subtracts the Paid amount from the open invoice amount to determine the open A/P balance for each invoice.

• totals the open A/P balance for each invoice to determine the total open A/P amount for the vendor.
