By default in Dynamics GP, when a payables invoice is fully or partially paid, the payment portion of the transaction doesn't flow through the payables account. This can make it more difficult to trace a transaction, since the transaction could skip the payables account all together by crediting cash and debiting an expense.
GP provides an optional setting to force transactions to flow through the payables account and that's what we'll look at in this recipe.
Setting up GP to pass voucher payments through payables is as easy as following these steps:
Select Administration from the navigation pane on the left. In the Administration area page, click on Company in the Company section.
Click on the Options button. Scroll down to the setting Separate Payment Distributions and check the box next to it.
Click on OK to close the window and accept the changes.
