When printing the report, you have a choice of including just paid invoices, outstanding invoices, or both. You also have a choice of including one or all of the aging categories defined in Accounts Payable Options. You can age invoices by the invoice date or the due date.

• Cash Requirements Report
  • The Cash Requirements Report provides a summary of outstanding invoices and total cash requirements for any three consecutive periods. This report provides the necessary data to analyze future cash needs and effectively plan cash flow on a weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis, depending on the period-ending dates entered.

– Purchase transfers are only used if the amount entered was not previously recorded in the system.

Sage 100 Accounts Payable Data Conversion

From another System

Gather the appropriate information and follow these steps:

1. Gather all unpaid invoices as of your last closed accounting period.
2. Run a report from your current system or prepare an adding machine tape totaling the invoices. This amount should equal the account balance for the accounts payable account(s) in General Ledger.
