Paid Out Transactions
A Paid Out is an immediate transation without a vendor. If you do not expect to establish a regular business relationship with the vendor, you probably will not want to save vendor information.
Example: When would I enter a Paid Out transaction?
Let’s say you need to have some maintenance done in your store that you will not need again. To complete the maintenance, you used a vendor that is not already in your system and you know that you will not use them again.
In this case, you might want to enter this bill as a Paid Out transaction instead of creating a vendor that will eventually become inactive and take up space in your system.
To use the Paid Out option:
1 In the AP Enter Bills window, select the Paid Out check box. When you select this check box, the Print Check check box and Check information fields appear. The Paid Out tab is also activated in the Detail grid.
For more information on the Print Check option, see Immediate Payment by Check.
2 On the Detail tab, enter the line item information for this bill, including the expense account you want to post to.
3 On the Paid Out tab, enter any information you want to print on the check. If you will pay the bill in cash or manually write a check, you don’t have to enter any information here.
4 Enter any additional information for the bill, and then save.
