Dated Billing Overview and Setup
Dated Billing is a feature within Accounts Payable that allows you to schedule multiple installments on a single voucher for a defined length of time and dollar amount. For example, your business leases a truck for the amount of $12,000 to be paid over a period of four years at the amount of $250 per month. The voucher is posted with the full amount of $12,000, but the amount to be paid will be by the installment amount of $250.00 on a monthly basis. Upon entering the voucher in New A/P Transactions (ATMU), or when changing a temporary voucher to a regular voucher, you have the option of setting up an installment schedule.
