Understanding Period-Ending Procedures in A/P

About Day-End and Week-End A/P Procedures


Use the day-end and week-end procedures to verify that A/P is balanced accurately. There are two procedures in accounts payable: releasing checks and releasing batches. Whether these procedures are performed daily or weekly depends on the number of A/P invoices you handle.

 

    Release checks as soon as possible after entering hand checks or printing system-generated checks. For instructions, see Printing and Releasing A/P Checks.

 

    A/P batches can be released when you print the A/P Batch Report using the [A] Print A/P Batch function in the (QR) Accounts Payable Reports screen.
