Supplier statements

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

A supplier statement summarizes your position with a specific supplier. By itself, it does not record any obligation for you to pay the supplier. That is the purpose of purchase invoices. In fact, a supplier statement has no direct impact on anything financial. Supplier statements are informational in nature. They can be used for several reasons, including:

 

Listing opening balances, payments, new purchases, and closing balances during a billing period
Summarizing aging of Accounts payable (how long overdue payments might be)
Sending inquiries to suppliers
Troubleshooting account disputes
Reviewing supplier history

 

Supplier statements are rarely sent to suppliers, but are often used internally

Creating supplier statements

Supplier statements are created in the Reports tab under Accounts payable. The reports in this group become available automatically when you activate the Suppliers tab. Click on Supplier Statements.

MYBOS can generate two types of supplier statements, selectable in a dropdown box.

Unpaid invoices statements

The "Unpaid invoices" option produces a classical supplier statement based on sales invoices you have not yet completely paid. The default "Until" date is the current date, but others can be entered.

Click Next to see a list of suppliers you owe money. The list shows numbers of unpaid invoices and Accounts payable balances:

Click View to see a specific supplier's statement, which can be printed or emailed:

Transactions statements

The "Transactions" option brings the opportunity to specify both "From" and "Until" dates.

Again, clicking Next shows a list of available statements. Only those suppliers with transactions during the specified period will show. Click View to see the desired supplier's statement:

This format lists transactions as debits and credits from the supplier's perspective. Thus, invoices (corresponding to expenses) are shown as credits and payments as debits, opposite their categorization in your own accounts. Running balances are also shown.
