AP End of Day

Overview

  • AP End of Day

    AP End of Day:

    Ending or closing the day, finalizes the day's AP transactions.  Only transactions (payment batches, run batches, credits etc.) performed to completion (posted) after the last end of day was performed, up until the next end of day closing, will be reflected as a part of that day's accounts payable transactions.


    Current Cycle: the AP cycle that transactions are currently taking place in  

    Start Date:
     the first day of the current AP cycle 

    End Date:
     the last day of the current AP cycle 

    Day End Date: the current cutoff date for transactions to take place to completion and be recorded.  

    Example: Day End Date: 06/15/21 -> only transactions dated 6/15/21 will be allowed to be posted.  All transactions performed to completion will be recorded on AP for 6/15/21 until the 15th is closed.  




    Current Cutoff Date (Day End Date): the current cutoff date for transactions to take place to completion and be recorded.

    Status:
     the cycle's current status 

    Open: the cycle is either currently in use or has not been reached yet 
    Closed:  the cycle has been closed (All days within the cycle have been closed and End of Month has been run to close out the cycle)
