Road Map: AP Distribution Report

Use the AP Distribution Report (NRA) program to print a report of GL accounts debited and credited, sorted either by vendor and invoice or by currency, organization, and account. See Background for more information.

Before you run this program each time

You should run these programs:  

  • AP Invoice Entry (NE) to enter vendor invoices and print the AP Invoice Register.

You may also have run:

  • AP Transaction Archive (NEX) to print a listing of invoices and fixed expenses with a balance of zero and move them to history.

Before you run this program the first time

You should run these programs:

  • System Options Maintenance (XM) (Accounts Payable Options) to set the AP interfaced to purchasing? option.

  • System Options Maintenance (XM) (Enterprise Options) to select a date display format for your enterprise, Branch Maintenance (TBM) to select a date display format for your branch, or User Maintenance (UIM) to select a date display format for an individual user.

  • Vendor Maintenance (VM) to set up vendors.

  • GL Account Maintenance (GMM) to set up GL organization codes and accounts.

  • Output Device Maintenance (XDM) to set up the output devices that you plan to use.

  • Date-Output Device Maintenance (ZE) to select your default output device and set whether you can override that device.

After you run this program

You will most likely run these programs in this sequence:

  1. Vendor Payments (NC) to select invoices for payment and print the Cash Requirements report.

  2. (Conditional) Check Print (NCP) to print a batch of checks.

  3. AP Payment Register (NCR) to print the AP Payment Register and update the general ledger.
