Up until a couple of weeks ago, I could run a pre-payment report prior to generating checks which would include all the details from the columns in the Generate Checks screen. Now the detail is gone and if there are multiple invoices for one vendor, only the total for all the invoices show, rather than the individual invoices. We used this report to verify the information entered prior to printing checks. The only way to get this report now is AFTER the checks are printed.
The information is there on the screen. Please correct the report to mirror that.
I forgot to add, the workaround to get the report I need is to go back to the database view!
Our agency needs the pre-payment report back to the original way. For now, I can access it on the database but even last week it was super slow and crashed. I was unable to locate my printer also and it was a huge nightmare. Our agency requires complete accuracy before we print checks due to the number of audits we have yearly. We need the new web version to have the complete pre-payment report and we need it yesterday. Very disappointed they would change should a vital piece of reporting so many people use.
Losing this feature has added a lot of time (and work) to my check run days. I have to print the pre-payment report, then run a query of my own design. The query creates a list of all invoices that comprise the pre-payment report. I cross my fingers and hope that the query matches the report. If any changes need to be made to the invoice(s), I then have to go run the pre-payment report and query again. This is cumbersome and inefficient. Please reinstate the functionality of the pre-payment report (or at least create an option for the user to select which version they require).
Having the details on the prepayment report help us pull the right paper invoices and also locate
any duplicates that may have a typo in the invoice # field.
It's unfortunate that this is even a topic of discussion because of the importance of the Pre-Payment report for running checks. Not sure how many people need to complain about this issue before it can be reinstated but whatever the number is it should be ignored and the report should be reinstated immediately. I don't understand why such an important report that provided necessary information would be removed from the reporting option in FENXT and replaced with a report that is extremely useless. It does not make sense that the report cannot be processed before the check run in order to verify what invoices are being paid and the accuracy of the account numbers. Since the invoice numbers are not listed on the report before the check run then there is the issue if you do not want an invoice to be included on the check yet now you have to void the check to remove the invoice and reissue another check which is not only time consuming but it will be a financial issue of having to use a new check. If this issue continues and the report cannot be printed before the check run with all the needed information this will be more of a problem once printing checks are no longer an option. Will the payment be able to be stopped or pulled back from a company’s bank account if an invoice was not supposed to be paid because you can't see which invoices are being paid?
I hope this can be corrected very soon! Thanks
We have vendors that will have multiple invoices over the course of a month that will have different due dates to pay. The pre-payment report used to list each invoice and amount so we could pull and review only the ones that are due. Now all that is showing is a total with no other information. I would lke to see each invoice listed again.
We used the pre-payment report to pull invoices when processing payments before we actually printed the checks and now the report doesn't contain crucial information such as listing each individual invoice that will make up a payment.
Instead of taking away reports that several of us use on a regular basis, why not give us the option to select either a detailed pre-payment report like we were used to getting or this new summarized pre-payment report?
We also need to be able to verify that the subledger coding is correct before the payment is processed. This new report only shows AP and Cash accounts and subledger accounts are not visible - hence cannot be verified during the review process.The database view is highly valuable to accounting professionals as we need to catch errors like subledger coding before the payments are processed.
It's a PRE-Payment report, so the users need to run it BEFORE payments are processed, not after the fact. We use it to verify data entry. Project ID needs to be added back to the report, so we can verify that the correct projects are being posted to.
