Select Vendors to Pay (Filter Selection)

To select a range of vendors whose invoices you want to pay:

  1. From the Tasks menu, choose Select for Payment.
  2. Enter the check date. This is the date that will be printed on the checks.
  3. Next, you can filter invoices based on the due date or the discounts lost by date.
  4. For example, if it is March 18th and you want to see all invoices due before March 31st, enter March 31st in the Invoices Due Before field. If, instead, you want to see invoices whose discounts will be lost by March 30th, enter March 30th in the Discounts Lost By field.

  5. Select which invoices you want to include. You can include all invoices or specific ones based on the number of days overdue and the balance amount. For example, you may want to view invoices 15 days past the due date that have balances over $25.
  6. Enter either a range of vendors, or enter the starting vendor if you want to print a check for a single vendor.
  7. Enter a vendor type in the Type Mask field if you want to limit vendors to a single type. (Vendor type is entered on the General tab of the Maintain Vendors window.)
  8. For example, if your vendor types are SUPPLY and SERVICE, entering SERVICE would display all vendors whose type code is SERVICE.

  9. Select the Always take discounts regardless of due date check box if you want discounts calculated even if the discount date has passed.
  10. When all selections are correct, click OK.
  11. The Select for Payment window appears; here, you can choose the invoices you want to pay. Tell me more about this.
