Posted on by SS-13030844-0 9
Hi all,
 
I am trying to add the vendor payment date to a report I am currentling building.
I am currenty using the table generalLedgerEntries to get the posting date. We now would like to acchieve to also in alignment with the documentNumber get the vendor payment date.
Do you know which table to use for the payment date and how a relationship can be build to show the posting date and payment date for the same documentNumber?
We have looked through various tables, but don't seem to find a possible connection for some reason.

Looking forward to you help :)

    Hello,
     
    Yes i Agree with Teddy Herryanto, You should use the Vendor Ledger Entries instead of General Ledger Entries.

    You should use Vendor Ledger Entries, instead of General Ledger Entries.
    From there, you can look through the invoices and payments.

    Because this may be a one-to-many situation.
    For example, an invoice is paid twice or more. Or you pay first, then cancel and reapply.
    You can try the following standard feature first.

    Hi there! Good morning, evening, or afternoon - depending on where you are :) Hope you are well today!
     
    To align the posting date from the generalLedgerEntries table with the vendor payment date, you’ll need to identify the table that stores vendor payment details and establish a relationship based on the documentNumber.
     
    1. Vendor Payment Table: The vendor payment date is typically stored in the Vendor payment journal or a related table in the Accounts Payable module. You can explore tables like:
      • VendTrans (Vendor Transactions)
      • VendSettlement (Vendor Settlements)
      • CustVendPaym (Customer/Vendor Payments)
        These tables often include fields for payment dates and document numbers.
    2. Building the Relationship:
      • Use the documentNumber as the key to link the generalLedgerEntries table with the vendor payment table.
      • Ensure that the documentNumber in both tables corresponds to the same transaction.
    3. Query Example:
      • If you're using SQL or a similar query tool, you can join the tables like this:
        sql
        SELECT
            gle.PostingDate,
            vp.PaymentDate,
            gle.DocumentNumber
        FROM
            generalLedgerEntries gle
        INNER JOIN
            VendTrans vp
        ON
            gle.DocumentNumber = vp.DocumentNumber

        Replace VendTrans with the actual table that contains the payment date.
    4. Data Validation:
      • Double-check that the documentNumber is consistent across both tables.
      • If you’re unable to find a direct match, there might be intermediate tables or additional fields (e.g., voucherNumber) that can help establish the connection.
