Use the Payment History F/M program to enter vendor payment history information into the system during installation. This includes payments made to each vendor for the next period, current period and 26 previous periods. You can enter payment information on the Most Current Period and Previous Periods tab or screens.
After the system goes live the update portion of the Check Register program updates the information in this program. So any changes you or other users make can compromise data.
Access this program by choosing Accounts Payable-->File Maintenances-->Payment History File Maintenances.
For more information how to use maintenances, refer to the following topics:
