Option 6Vendor History Report

Use this function to print a monthly history of the amount of purchases made from, payments made to, and discounts received from each vendor. The following processing steps accomplish this job.

  1. Step 1In preparation for performing a sort/selection process on the Vendor History by Month information, this step provides you with a default sequencing of data records by Liability Account, Vendor Alpha, Vendor, Year and Month, giving additional sort order choice by Vendor Type, with the option to change modifiable parameters at run time. Selection of data records is provided by Liability Account, Vendor, Vendor Type, Year and Month, with the option to enter user-specified comparisons at run time.
  2. Step 2This disposition type is used for all standard Accounts Payable reports.
  3. Step 3According to previously specified criteria, this step actually performs the desired selection and/or sorting process.
  4. Step 4In order to print the Vendor History Report, this step formats the Vendor History by Month information. The following data items are shown: Month, Purchases, Disbursements and Discounts. As appropriate, group headings appear whenever a change occurs in Liability Account, Vendor or Year.

A sample output is shown below.
