PROBLEM: SUGGEST VENDOR PAYMENTS IS NOT INSERTING A PAYMENT

 

Potential Cause: “Due Date” of the payment is after the specified Last Payment Date.


Resolution: Set the “Last Payment Date” filter to a later date 





 
Potential Cause: Posting date of the original expense is after the specified “Posting Date.”


Resolution: Set Posting Date to a date after the date the expense was posted


Note: Posting Date is the date that will print on a check/when the transaction will appear on a balance sheet.
 

Potential Cause: Vendor/Payee has a negative balance; this is caused by a credit memo applied to the vendor, or a grant payment reversed twice
