Option 4Transaction History Report
Use this function to print transaction history information for your vendors. You also have the option to include current transactions on this report. If you have selected to include the current transactions but no historical transactions exist for a vendor, no transactions are printed for the vendor. The following processing steps accomplish this job.
- Step 1This function checks to see whether the end user has chosen to keep Transaction History, before executing any function that requires the file.
- Step 2This function allows you to choose to include current transactions in addition to historical information on the Transaction History Report.
On the following pages, the screen displayed by this function is shown.
The screen shown below allows you to choose to include current transactions (information from the Transaction file) on the report.

Press ENTER to save the information on this screen.
- Step 3In preparation for performing a sort/selection process on the Transaction History information, this step provides you with a default sequencing of data records by Liability Account, Vendor and Apply To, giving additional sort order choice by Post Month and Post Year, with the option to change modifiable parameters at run time. Selection of data records is provided by Liability Account, Vendor, Apply To, Operator ID, Post Month and Post Year, with the option to enter user-specified comparisons at run time.
- Step 4This disposition type is used for all standard Accounts Payable reports.
- Step 5According to previously specified criteria, this step actually performs the desired selection and/or sorting process.
- Step 6In order to print the Transaction History Report, this step formats the Transaction History information. The following data items are shown: Operator ID, Control Number, Transaction No, Post Month, Post Year, Apply To, Invoice/Check Number, Transaction Type Abbreviation, PO No, Transaction Date, Transaction Desc, Discount Amount, Retention Amount and Amount. As appropriate, group headings appear whenever a change occurs in Post Month, Liability Account or Vendor. If requested, totals appear whenever a change occurs in Vendor, Liability Account or Post Month. When totals are specified, the following items are accumulated: Discount Amount, Retention Amount, Amount and Total Balance. Grand totals print at the end.
