Vendor - Balance to Date (report)

The Vendor - Balance to Date report shows the vendor balance by the ending date of the specified date range.

You can choose to display the vendor balance in your local currency (LCY).

Select the Include Unapplied Entries field to show entries that were closed by the ending date but were unapplied (opened) at a later date.

Select Show Entries with Zero Balance to show vendors with a balance of zero by the ending date of the date filter. The date filter applies to the detailed vendor ledger entries for the entries in the report. If a payment was made after the ending date, and the payment was applied to invoices within the date range, the report includes the invoice. The report includes the invoice because it wasn't closed before the ending date.
