Start with the question you are answering. One bill can have several payments, one payment can cover several bills, and a vendor can receive several payments over a period. Those are three different views of the same accounts payable work.
| Your question | Choose | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| What has been applied to this bill? | Print Remit | One bill, its applied payments |
| What did this payment cover? | Print Receipt | One saved payment, bills and credits |
| What did we pay this vendor in a period? | Vendor Remittance | Saved bill payments in an inclusive payment-date range |
When the question is about one bill
Use Print Remit on the paid or partially paid bill. It lists the verified payments applied to that bill, including payment dates and references.
For a $1,000 bill with $400 and $600 installments, the bill remit shows both payments and a $1,000 applied total. If only the first installment has been paid, it shows $400 applied.
When the question is about one payment
Use Print Receipt from the saved bill payment. It shows that payment’s selected bills, applied vendor credits, and net amount.
A $650 bill with a $50 vendor credit produces a $600 net payment. A payment receipt explains the difference between the bill value and the amount paid.
When the question is about a period
Use Vendor Remittance from the vendor detail page. Select the inclusive payment dates, then generate the report. The dates refer to payments rather than the original bill dates.
A $400 payment and a $600 payment in the selected period produce a $1,000 remitted total. The bill and credit details explain each payment.
Review before sending
Check the vendor, period, references, credits, and final totals. Use the report window’s print controls to save a PDF. Generating a report does not email it or make a payment.
A standalone expense or check is not automatically a saved bill payment. The vendor-period tool excludes transactions outside its supported scope and stops when a payment cannot be verified.
