About the Fields

In the Period field...

Enter the desired accounting period for the report.

In the Year field...

Enter the desired accounting year for the report.

NOTE: Because the Disbursements Journal does not update information, you can select any accounting period in the fiscal year regardless of whether or not records exist for the selected period. However, the Disbursements Journal only prints the information for prior periods if the information has not been cleared (Refer to Period End Update).

From the Sequence dropdown...

The contents of the report are the same regardless of the sequence selected.

Select Alternate Sequence (A) from the Sequence drop down box to display the report alphabetically.
Select Check Number (C) from the Sequence drop down box to display the report by check number sequence.
Select Vendor ID (V) from the Sequence drop down box to display the report by vendor number sequence.

NOTE: Printing the report in Vendor ID sequence (V) causes the task to first sort the records In the file. The amount of time the sort consumes depends on the number of records in the file.

Select All, Permanent, or Temporary to define the Vendor Types for the journal.
