PSL+: How to Post A/P Transactions Edit List

Utilize the Post A/P Transactions/Edit List [appost] screen to meticulously review and seamlessly post Accounts Payable transactions, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in financial operations.

Use the Post A/P Transactions/Edit List [appost] screen to review and post A/P transactions.  You can post transactions one at a time or all transactions at the same time if you prefer.

It is recommended to first generate an Edit List, which is a list of the transactions you’ve selected prior to posting. The purpose of the Edit List is for you to review the A/P transactions for any errors and to make sure the transactions listed are indeed the ones you want to post.

You can print the Edit List or view it straight from your screen. If you need to make any corrections, you can do so in the A/P Entry [apte] screen.

After accepting the changes, generate another Edit List to verify the corrections. Once you’re satisfied with the changes, move forward with the Posting Register. 

Posting is the act of permanently transferring a transaction to the Bible Report/General Ledger [bdbr]. Please note checks are posted automatically when they are printed.

  5. Print/Preview the Report:  
    • Located in the top right-hand corner of the screen, you can choose the following options to generate the report: 
      • Print - Opens the Print Dialogue box and sends the report directly to the printer. 
      • Preview - Generates a PDF format report and appears instantly on your screen. You are still able to print from the PDF format.
