for that line. You can use the Smartlink to select one of the

Disbursements | Indicates the value to date of payments made to suppliers for month you selected to view. |
Revaluation |
Indicates the total difference in the value of foreign currency invoices revalued for the month you selected to view. Invoices can either be revalued using the AP Exchange Rate Revaluation program or, alternatively, at the time of posting a payment when the Default to currency table rate and Apply to outstanding invoice balance setup options are enabled (Accounts Payable Setup). |

Closing balance |
The closing balance on the TOTAL line indicates the current Accounts Payable balance for the entire Accounts Payable module for the month you selected to view. You can view the details of this total by printing the AP Trial Balance or the AP Aged Analysis for all suppliers for the relevant month. If the Current A/P balance does not equal the total of either of these reports (for all suppliers) then you need to run the Balance function of the AP Period End program to enable the system to correct the discrepancy. The closing balance for each branch for the month you selected to view is also displayed. You can print the AP Trial Balance or the AP Aged Analysis reports by Branch for all suppliers for each branch, to view the details of the branch totals displayed in this listview. |

If these totals do not agree, then you need to use the AP Invoice GL Integration, AP Payments GL Integration and GL Journal Entry programs to create and/or post all journals into the General Ledger. In addition, ensure that no non-Accounts Payable journals were posted to the Accounts Payable control account(s) in the General Ledger using the GL Journal Entry program. |

accounts for Accounts Payable). This total should equal the total displayed in the Closing balance column of the TOTAL line in the Detailed Month at a Glance listview. If these totals do not agree, then you need to use the AP Invoice GL Integration, AP Payments GL Integration and GL Journal Entry programs to create and/or post all journals into the General Ledger.

This pane displays the graph you selected at the Graph to view option. For a Branch graph, you can view the graph totals for a specific branch by using your mouse pointer to highlight the branch listed in the Detailed Month at a Glance listview.
The AP at a Glance by Branch program is regarded as a management query and information is therefore displayed for all branches to provide a meaningful report. Any access levels defined for operators is ignored (see Access and Access Control).
All information must be displayed to give a meaningful report. Access to this program should therefore only be given to operators who have access to all branches.
Month-to-date totals are calculated from the various transaction tables. In order to be able to view information for the previous two periods, you must ensure that you are retaining information for a minimum of three months (Accounts Payable Setup).
