The GL Accounts page allows you to enter, review or update the GL Account IDs to which payable transactions for this vendor will be posted.

 

 

To enter values in the GL Accounts page, perform the following:

 

1.Accept or amend the default GL Account IDs in the Accounts Payable and Prepayment fields. The default values are coming from the GL Account Selection function.

 

oAccounts Payable

This is the GL Account ID to which liability for purchases will be recorded.

 

oPrepayments

GL Account ID to which prepayment transactions are to be posted.

 

2.Perform the following in the Default Reference Accounts grid:

 

2.1. Accept or amend the GL Account ID in the grid. The default value comes from the General Expense field in the Account Selection Maintenance function. This is the account to which portions of the AP invoice totals billed by the vendor are to be distributed.

 

2.2. Click the Append row to end button in the grid toolbar to add a line in the grid. Alternatively, you may click the Insert row before current button to insert a new line above the currently highlighted line in the grid.

 

2.3. In the blank grid line, click the List box button to display a list of available GL Account IDs; then, click the GL Account ID to select. Once a GL account ID is selected, its corresponding description is displayed in the adjacent Account Description column.

 

2.4. Enter in the Dist % column the percentage of the AP invoice total that you want to be distributed to the reference account. The total of the percentages for all of the reference accounts must sum up to 100% in order to balance the amounts going to the payable account; otherwise, you cannot save the vendor record.

 

2.5. Click the Delete button in the grid toolbar to delete a GL Account ID from the grid.

Note: When you create AP invoice transactions, the system debits the GL Account IDs entered in the grid. You may enter reference accounts with negative percentage rates that represent credit entries; AccountMate will accept negative rates as long as the net total distribution percentage rate will amount to 100%.
