The Accounts Payable (As Of) Report provides an automatic "look-back" capability for any Date within any Month in the past for which Purchase and Payment records have been entered within the MKMS Accounts Payable System module.
Why is this report needed?
A problem occurs if the Accounts Payable Report was not run at the end of the month before new Purchases and/or Payments were recorded for the next month.
So, once Purchases and/or Payments are posted for the next month, a complex process of reporting and deducting these new Purchases, and then reporting and adding the new Payments, is required to recalculate what that Payables amount which would have existed at the end of the previous month.
This becomes even more difficult as additional months pass before calculating this Payables information for an "older" month.
The solution to this problem is found in the Accounts Payable (As Of) Report which provides an automatic "look-back" capability for any Date within any Month in the past for which Purchase and Payment records have been entered within the MKMS Accounts Payable module.
