Hi,

Is there any difference at all in recording vendor invoice / payment either from GL or AP other than just being able to see from a different form and different journal.

Balances posted from General Journal to Vendors will also appear in Vendor Account statement from AP right? And all the vendor reports will work like they should even if we post from General Journal?

Edit:

So found out few difference, voucher number will be different.

In General Journal, the mark for settlement feature is missing in case to record and settle vendor payment against invoice.

Looking forward for other differences.

Best Regards,

I have the same question (0)

Hi MYGz,

technically there is no much difference in both methods other than purpose , you can use General Journal to Record Vendor Payments and as well as Invoices.

Hi MYGz,

Vendor account statement will show posted transactions against vendors including purchase order, invoice journal and general journal.

In General journal, you can use settlement feature before posting of the journal via Functions > Settle transactions

There is no difference both creates transactions in vendor transactions .

Only difference which you can see is "Transaction Type" when you see that transaction on vendor transactions.
