Cash Requirements

This report can help you make decisions about paying your vendors. It displays the balances you owe vendors, along with information about available early-pay discounts and discounts you are eligible to receive if you pay by the discount due date.

Note: Before you generate this report for the first time, set the default number of days between check runs in System Controls. To complete this setting, select System Controls from the Setup menu. Click the Vendor tab, select Days between check run, and press Enter. Then type the number of days that typically separate your check runs.
