Screen Shot 115: Supplier Balances Screen
This screen is in 4 sections:
Supplier Currencies Section
This section lists the currencies which are attached to the supplier. Clicking on a currency name and clicking will display the balances in that currency.
When a creditor has multiple currencies attached, those currency descriptions plus a base currency description display. For multi-currency creditors, on initial entry to this screen the base currency value displays. The base currency is the final accounting currency of the system. The amounts in base currency which display are the totals of the amounts in the other currencies which are attached to the creditor. Where only one currency is attached, and that currency is the same as the base currency, then only the one currency displays. |
Prior Periods Section
This lists the current creditor accounting period at the bottom of the list, with all previously closed periods above it. To view the aging in prior periods, click the accounting period required.

This section displays the balances by age. The aging is broken down into seven periods:
Overdue 4+
The total value of all transactions in the selected currency whose age periods are 4 periods or older than the current accounting period.
