Accounts Payable Q&A: Cash Requirements Report

July 2019    Tags: Accounts Payable, Invoices, Reports, Vendors

I have entered all of our invoices for the month and need to pay all of our vendors. I want to make sure I’ve got enough funds in my bank account to pay all of the outstanding invoices. Is there a report that can help me?

In Accounts Payable, there is the Cash Requirements Report. This report will display all of your outstanding invoices sorted by Due Date. The GLS bank account balance can optionally be included on this report to show a running bank account balance, allowing you to see how the balance will be affected by the payables on the report.
