Individual Reports - Purchase Ledger

The Purchase Ledger report is included in the following Standard products:
  • Standard Accounts (Purchase Ledger module)
---

The Purchase Ledger report is a summary of your account position with each Supplier. It lists the Suppliers' Invoices that have been issued to your company that you have not yet paid. For each Invoice, the Due Date, the outstanding amount and the number of days by which it is overdue are shown, so, together with the Periodic Supplier Statement and Payments Forecast reports, this report is a very useful tool for payment scheduling purposes.

When printed to screen, this report has the Drill-down feature common to many reports in Standard products. Click on any Supplier Number in the report to open the Contact record for a Supplier, or on a Purchase Invoice or Payment Number to open an individual Purchase Invoice or Payment record.
