Vendor Statements & Vendor Beginning Balances

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 77

Hi all,

Let me preface this post that I recently graduated from my BBA and started employment with an organization in their accounts payable department. They are using Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 and I am just getting used to using it so I really have no idea how to do any of the advanced things yet. 

At the beginning of the current year they changed everything over to a new chart of accounts and paid off the majority of any outstanding invoices left over from the previous chart of accounts, however there were 4 vendors that had beginning balances for 2014. They lumped it all together as the beginning balance for the Accounts Payable GL account. I was recently given the task of trying to find a way to get those starting balances reflected on the respective vendor sub-ledgers. The first issue I am having is being unable to see a list of all invoices and payments for a specific vendor for a date range. I found this blog post http://community.dynamics.com/gp/b/gpmohammad/archive/2012/01/29/vendor-statement-with-analytical-accounting-information.aspx but have no idea how to implement it. It seems like that script would allow me to run a report similar to an aged trial balance but for all transactions for a vendor and showing what the beginning balance at the start of the date range would be. A vendor statement report would be very useful to me outside of this task as well, so creating a custom report to do so would be helpful, although I have no experience with Report Writer either.

My second issue is how to modify the vendor information to reflect a starting balance, especially when 3 of them show a $0.00 net change balance under the vendor summary. I would assume that if I could add a starting balance to the vendors it would end up making them unbalanced. 

Any and all help is appreciated. I am quite new at using GP and am trying to figure things out as I go. Thank you in advance.

    Frank, I have the amounts that should be the beginning balance for those 4 vendors. When the chart of accounts were changed it looks like they created a new company account, as I need to log into another company to view the old records. I guess they are assuming (as well as I) that the sub-ledgers under the new account would have started with a $0 balance. The change of the chart of accounts took place Dec 31 - Jan 1, 2014.

    I am first trying to determine what the beginning balance for these 4 vendors was at 2014 in GP through some sort of vendor statement report, from there I am tasked with somehow having the starting balances reflect what they should be according to the information I have. Sorry I am very new to GP and learning as I go, wasn't a software taught in any of my post-secondary courses.

    Jason, are you trying to determine what invoices make up the beginning balances for those 4 vendors?  Why would a change in the chart of accounts have any effect on the sub-ledgers?  Don't quite understand enough about the issue to advise you yet.

    I saw that post also on his blog, linked from another community discussion, but I don't know how I would go about implementing that script either. Can someone link me to a how-to or inform me how I would implement that script or the one I linked to in my original post?

    This is the one from my original post (kind of got lost in the paragraph) http://community.dynamics.com/gp/b/gpmohammad/archive/2012/01/29/vendor-statement-with-analytical-accounting-information.aspx
