In MYOB AccountEdge, vendor payments are transactions you enter to indicate that you’ve made payments for the purchases you’ve made from your vendors. When you enter a vendor payment in AccountEdge, you apply the payment to one or more of your outstanding purchase balances. You also can choose to apply vendor debits while preparing to apply the payment.

Entering vendor payments

Step 1: Identify where the money for the payment will be drawn from
Step 2: Enter details about the vendor payment
Step 3: Indicate which purchases will be affected by the payment
Step 4: Choose what you want to do with the vendor payment

The list in the upper left corner of the Vendor Payments window displays all the checking accounts you’ve set up. Remember that any checkingaccount can be used for cash disbursements. Credit cards, petty cash and other methods for making payments may be displayed in this list.

Only accounts you’ve specifically designated as checkingaccounts or credit card accounts appear in the list. If you want a particular account to appear in this list, you’ll need to create the account first. See Creating accounts for more information.

Finding, removing and reversing vendor payments

After you record a vendor payment, you might want to view the transaction again sometime in the future. AccountEdge allows you to easily find the vendor payments you’ve entered into the system.

You can also quickly remove the effects of a vendor payment from your records or change a vendor payment. An important point to consider is if the vendor payment is changeable or unchangeable. If the transaction is changeable, you can make changes or remove the payment altogether from your ledger.

Unchangeable transactions work differently. By reversing an unchangeable vendor payment, the effects of the original payment will no longer be part of your ledger; however, a record of the reversed payment, called a reversing transaction, will remain. Then, if you want, you can enter a new, correct transaction to replace the transaction you reversed. See What are changeable and unchangeable transactions? for more information.

If you notice a problem with a vendor payment you’ve already applied to a purchase, be aware that you can’t simply change the payment. You’ll need to remove or reverse the payment first, then re-create and re-apply the payment.

Printing checks

You can choose to print a check at the Vendor Payments window at the time you enter the check or you can choose to print the check at a later time. You can reprint individual checks, or you can print and reprint several checks at the same time -- the choice is yours.

To reprint a batch of checks, be sure the Unprinted Checks Only selection isn’t marked in the Forms Selection window.

Before you begin printing

See Forms Overview if you need information about:

To choose a form layout for your checks:

In the Forms Selection window, you can choose to print your checks on a continuous feed or laser printer, and you can customize your checks so they’ll look the way you want them to look. Collectively, these choices are called form layouts in AccountEdge.

The Continuous Feed Check form layout allows you to print checks on connected sheets of check forms. One check form is followed by one check stub.

The Laser Check form layout allows you to print checks one page at a time on a laser printer. The Laser Check form layout is also set up so two check stub forms are printed after the check form. (See Tips for customizing checks to learn more about customizing your checks and check stubs.)

You can also customize the look of your printed checks. See To customize the check form for detailed information about customizing your printed forms.


Note: If you want to print vendor debits and discounts on the check stub

If debits and discounts have been applied to a bill, you may want to print the total amounts of debits and discounts on the vendor payment check stub. The fields for debits and discounts appear on the vendor payment check stub, but in order for debits and discounts to be printed on the payable check stub, the fields must be made active. To learn how to display vendor debits on the check stub, see Displaying applied debit memos on check stubs. To display discounts on the payable check stub, follow the same directions substituting the [YTD Discounts] field for the [YTD Debits] field in the procedure.
