These steps will also allow you to make vendor payments for these transactions automatically.

Note: Setting up discounts Use the Credit Terms window to set up the discounts that your vendors make available to you. See Enter selling, payroll and buying details (customers, employees and vendors only) for more information.

The To Do List window should be displayed.

  1. Click the Expiring Discounts tab. The open purchases for which discounts still apply if you make an early payment will appear.
  2. Click the zoom arrow to view details about a specific purchase.
  3. Click the Action column if you want to pay off one or more of the outstanding balances.
Warning: Read this before you make vendor payments using the To Do ListIf you choose to make vendor payments using the To Do List window, keep in mind that the transactions will be recorded automatically; you won’t get a chance to review or change any of the payments before they’re recorded. If you’re not sure you want to make a vendor payment, click the zoom arrow next to the transaction to open the Vendor Payments window to manually enter the payment so you have better control over the payment information than you would if you used the To Do List.

The checking account that will be used for all vendor payments using the To Do List window is the account listed in the Checking Account For Paying Bills field of the Accounts Payable Linked Accounts window.
  1. Click the Pay Bills button.
