You use the AP Invoice Disbursement Distribution program to generate a report of General Ledger entries created when you process payments to your suppliers.
This report is generated from the General Ledger journals created by the AP Payments GL Integration program.
The AP Invoice Disbursement Distribution report serves as an audit trail of Accounts Payable payment transactions processed.
If you have posted all your Accounts Payable ledger journals to the General Ledger, then you can use this report together with the AP Invoice Expense Distribution report as an audit trail of entries posted to the General Ledger and possibly to assist in balancing Accounts Payable to the General Ledger when discrepancies exist.
This report can be run at any time and as often as required.

The distribution report reflects details of the sub-module transactions posted to the GL Journal and are grouped by the GL journal number.
The term *Multiple* in place of a GL code indicates that, in the sub ledger, a single journal was referenced to more than one control record. For example payments made to customers in two branches in the same session or an invoice with lines shipped from multiple warehouses (if you are integrated by warehouse).
A Chg transaction type journal is created when you change the exchange rate when processing a payment using the Payment Cycle Maintenance or AP Manual Check Payment programs (i.e. when the invoice rate and the payment rate differs).
