A/P Vendor Statuses (AP61)

The Vendor Status Report (AP61) is used to help assess whether the freight rates set up in Maintain Purchasing Info (PO13) are reasonable. You may also decide to monitor the dollar volumes on Vendor accounts as an aid to negotiating better payment or freight terms from a Vendor.

The Vendor Status Report prints one line for each AP Vendor on file and reports the following:

• Vendor Code and Name
• Discount Terms Code or Number of Days for Discount (Number of Days are indicated by an '*' on the report)
• Net Terms Code or Number of Days for Net Due (Number of Days are indicated by an '*' on the report)
• Date of the last purchase
• Total purchases month to date (i.e. 'Current' Period open)
• Total purchases for the last 12 months (i.e. 12 months prior to 'Current' Period open)
• Total last year purchases
• Total balance outstanding on each account
• Percent freight to purchases for the last 12 months

Follow these steps when running AP61:

1. The Printer Selection screen automatically opens. Select the device destination and click OK.

2. The Report Parameters screen for AP61 opens.
