Q: Converting Cheques to Bill Payments A 09-18-2006

Hi,

My complete and utter disorganization has resulted in me entering bill
payments, for a company I deal with, in two different ways.

Some times I would just enter the cheque (part shipping expense, part
GST), for others I would enter the bill and then use the bill payment
feature to issue a cheque.

So, when I search for all the cheques I have made to this vendor, 10 come
up as Cheques and 5 come up as Bill Payments.

My problem, is when I pull up the balance detail on the vendor, you
really don't get an accurate history of what has happened, as none of the
entries that were entered as cheques show up.

I'm wondering if there is anyway that I can change all the cheques to
bill payments, so that as I go through and enter all the bills, I can
allocate the appropriate cheque against each one, as they are all paid.

Keeping in mind that the majority of the cheques have been cleared
against a bank reconciliation, so I'm a little worried about just
deleting them all and reissuing after I have entered the bill.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

A

A-Just change the account distribution on the CHECQUE payments to "Accounts
Payable". Then, when you enter the vendor bill, you can go through "Pay
Bills" and allocate each check payment to the proper invoices. I'm assuming
that your version works the same way as US version in this matter.
