Change Accounts Payable Page

Use this page to review and change accounts payable records. The system allows you to different fields depending on whether the payable was created with the Purchase Order Payment or Non-Purchase Order Payment option.

For records created with the Purchase Order Payment option, you can change the following information:

  • Hold Payable Flag Line Item Payment Payable Notes
  • Invoice Number PO Quantity Received Line Item Description
  • Due Date Remittance Address 1099 Payment Settings
  • Single Check Flag

For records created with the Non-Purchase Order Payment option, you can change the same data with the following two exceptions:

  • You can also change the accounting distribution for the payable.
  • You cannot use the Quantities Received page as you are not referencing a purchase order with line item quantities to update.

Menu Path: Fund Accounting > Entry & Processing > Payable Entry > Change Accounts Payable

Change Accounts Payable Pages

When changing payable records, you primarily work within two pages, the Change Accounts Payable selection and Change Accounts Payable detail pages. Both of these pages have the Action Bar items that access secondary pages, but for the most part, you use the selection and detail pages to update payable records.

Change Accounts Payable Selection - Enables you to enter selection criteria to retrieve the payable records you want to change. This is the first page you display when working with the Change Accounts Payable option. Use this page to enter search criteria, initiate an advanced search, reset the fiscal year period and/or transaction date, and display the detail page where you can then update a selected payable.

Change Accounts Payable Detail - Shows a payable record you searched for and selected in the selection page. Use the detail page to change the payable's information. You can use the detail page's Action Bar items to update a payable's notes, vendor address, discount amount and tax rates, and for purchase order payments, the quantity received for a specific PO line item.

Change Accounts Payable Detail Page

The Change Accounts Payable detail page has two sections, Payable Information and Payment Distribution. Following is a brief description for each section:

Payable Information Section

Provides the payable's identifying information, totals, and payment settings. This section also has the Hold Payable field that allows you to prevent issuing a vendor check for the payable until the hold is lifted.

Payment Distribution Section

Shows the payment's line item distribution (Purchase Order Payment option) or the payable's accounting distribution (Non-Purchase Order Payment option).

The page's fields are the same as the fields in the Post Accounts Payable page, with the following exceptions:

  • The *Approval* field is not available as the Change Accounts Payable option only accesses records that have gone through approval processing.
  • The Hold Payable checkbox is unique to the Change Accounts Payable option and is described in the following Procedure section.

For details, refer to the Post Accounts Payable Page.
