Set up vendors for accounts payable processing

When you've turned on the
Accounts Payable service
  for a client, you can specify default information in the vendor record. When you select the vendor for new payable transactions, the application enters that information in the transaction record. You can replace that information in the transaction record.
  1. Select
    Setup
    , then
    Vendors
    .
  2. Select the
    Accounts Payable
     tab.
  3. Make sure the correct
    Client
     is shown.
  4. Choose a vendor from the
    Vendors
     list, then select
    Edit
    . 
    note
    • You can also select

    Amount
     in the Beginning Balance section and the date in the
    As of
     box.

    The application uses the payment term to determine due dates.
