Introduction

The accounts payable module uses the batch method to group invoices. The batch date on the header screen of the batch is what determines the day the batch will post in the GL system. If you are entering invoices at the beginning of a new month and have some invoices from the prior month, you will need to separate the invoices into two piles and then create two separate batches: One with a batch date that will post in the prior month and one with a batch date that will post in the current month.
