Accounts Payable (A/P) Account Register

An accounts payable register lists posting purchases from or payments to your vendors. These transactions are liabilities representing amounts owed to vendors for the purchase of inventory, goods, or services.

You can use an accounts payable register to track and manage payable transactions.

Note:

To set your aging preference for your general and subledgers, go to Setup > Accounting > Preferences > Accounting Preferences, and on the General subtab, under General Ledger, for Aging Reports Use, choose either Due Date or Transaction Date.

To view an accounts payable register:

• Do one of the following:

  • Go to Lists > Accounting > Accounts, or Setup > Accounting > Chart of Accounts, and click the account name.

  • From a list of payable transactions, click the account.

  • On a transaction record, from the Actions list, select Go to Register.

An A/P Register report is available at Reports > Vendors/Payables > A/P Register. See A/P Register Report. This report combines data from all accounts payable accounts and offers more display options than the register. It is intended to be used for presentation rather than for managing and editing transactions.
