Open Invoice Report - Instructions
Use the Open Invoice Report to list all or specified open invoices. You can use this report anytime you need to see invoice detail after invoices have been entered and posted but before they have been paid. You can tailor this report to fit your reporting needs by specifying and/or sorting by certain accounts, vendors, hold status, due dates, or other invoice information.
There are two types of Open Invoice Reports:
Summary Report - Lists all pertinent invoice information such as Invoice Number, Due Date, Vendor Name and Vendor Number, Gl Account Number or Appropriations Account, Amount, Status, and Check Number (if the invoice was prepaid).
Detail List - Lists the same information as the Summary report, plus Purchase Order Number, Invoice Date, 1099 Code, Reference, and Description.

Tips:
For more information about running reports, see Print View.
At the Report Writer window, you can change the selection and sort options for the report. For more information, refer to the Report Writer Overview.
Frequently Asked Questions:
My report totals do not balance with my general
ledger?
The total amount of all current year open invoices in the current year
company should equal the amount in your AP Control account in general
ledger. If
it does not, here are some suggestions:
Make sure the Open Invoice Report is listing all open invoices. Delete any ranges or lists in the Report Writer window.
Make sure all entries in your general ledger are posted. Post all periods anyway (no double postings occur).
Is your general ledger in balance? If not, why?
Are there invalid invoices on your report? If so, correct them during Invoicing, and post general ledger again. Rerun Trial Balance report.
If your general ledger is out of balance by the amount that the AP Control account is off and all open invoices are valid, locate which period is wrong and edit the amount posted in general ledger. Use your Invoice Posting Sheets as guides.
What if I have negative invoices?
Negative invoices usually represent credits issued by that vendor to
you. They
will remain in the system until positive invoices are entered against
that vendor causing the current balance to be positive. Once
the positive invoice amounts are higher than the negatives, all invoices
will qualify to be paid. The
Accounts Payable routine will deduct the negative invoices from the positive.
How do I delete incorrect invoices?
All invoices listed on the report were entered using Invoice
Entry and could contain invalid information such as wrong due dates,
applied to the wrong vendor, wrong invoice number, etc. To
delete an invoice, a negative invoice must be entered exactly the same
way the incorrect positive invoice was entered, including the incorrect
data. Refer
to the Accounts Payable trouble shooting section for further instruction.
