Inconsistency between Accounts payable and Vendor balance

Posted on by Jake2023

Hi,

I am looking for a bit of an explanation for the below, I am sure its probably ok but it appears inconsistant:

In the Chart of Accounts and Aged Accounts Payable Report, the Vendor balance shows as a negative figure but on the Vendor ledger the same amount appears as a positive entry.

I would expect to see consistency accross all three, is this just the way Business Central displays the information or is there something in the set up we need to adjust.

We are currently on version 20.4 and using OnPremise.

Thanks

Yes the Vendor List shows positive. I agree this is inconsistent with all the other displays.

Hi Kim,

Thank you for coming back to me, I think I may have miswrote this, the Vendor Ledger entries are correct showing negative (the same as the Chart and Reports)

however the list view on the Vendors list shows a positive

This is what is causing the confusion when looking at the vendor list Overview versus the Chart/Reports

Thanks again for you time on this

It sounds like you have a customization. Invoices show as negative in the vendor ledger by default with credit memos being positive.

Maybe some screenshots would help us.
