Vendor Master Summary - Current Balance Calculation

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

A little background information: 

I'm working in an environment that has multiple GP 2010 instances setup (separate databases), and I've been asked to start developing consolidated AP reports directly from the SQL Databases. I've already successfully re-created the Historical ATB report for the Payment Module with an exact match, I'm now working on the Vendor Master Summary but cannot get the amounts on that to tie to the same amounts as my Historical ATB. Does anyone know how GP calculates that current balance, and from what tables? 

Thanks,

    RE: Vendor Master Summary - Current Balance Calculation

    I don't think it is. Our accountant pulled the smart list for me to look at so after doing some research, I wrote my version to hit PM00200 and then join to PM00201 on vendor ID. The balance I was pulling was the CURRBLNC field on PM00201, along AMBLDLIF and AMTPDLIF to try and match everything up. The thing is that the numbers from her report and my report match, but her smart list and GP's Historical ATB disagree on amounts, just the same as my report and my Historical ATB disagree.

    The reason I'm trying to figure out how GP generates those numbers in those fields is that about half the systems I've got a match, the other half I'm off by small amounts (so I assumed that if I pulled in open checks that weren't posted I'd get my numbers to match) except for one of my systems that was off by a large amount. I'm told that one system was upgraded from an older version of GP, so my theory is that when the company that did the setup imported the old vendors, it imported the old values on those fields, and GP just adds/subtracts from those values as items hit the PM system. Trying to find verification for that, or if that's not the case, how it actually is making the calculation.

    Hope that's clear.

    First, congratulations on having recreated the Historical Aged Trial Balance! That's really quite a big deal. 

    As far as the vendor master summary, I believe that is a number that is built as of right now. It isn't the vendor summary for a select point in time, it's calculated at the time you run the report. I think you'll find it's the sum of the Current Trx amount of all transactions in the Open table.
