CM Acct

Enter the CM Account for paying this transaction. The entry must be a valid account set up in CM Accounts.

Note:

If you have specified a credit service CM account in the AP Company Parameters form, and you are paying this vendor with a different method (either check or EFT), the system will display a warning if you enter the credit service CM account. You will be allowed to save the record, however.

This field defaults depending on where you generate the transaction from:

  • If you are entering the transaction directly into AP Transaction Entry, this field initially defaults from the CM Account field in the AP Vendors form (Info tab). If the CM Account field in the AP Vendors form is blank, the system uses the number from the CM Account # field in the AP Company Parameters (Subledgers tab).

  • If you are creating transactions from PR (that is, using the PR AP Update form), and you enter an account number in the CM Account Override field, this field defaults that account number. If you leave the CM Account Override field blank, the system defaults the number from the CM Account field in the AP Vendors form. If that field is blank, the system uses the number from the CM Account # field in the AP Company Parameters form.

  • If you are updating AP from SL (that is, using the SL Update to AP form, accessed from SL Worksheet), this field defaults the account number from the CM Account field in SL Worksheet. If that field is blank, the system defaults the number from the CM Account field in the AP Vendors form. If that field is blank, the system uses the number from the CM Account# field in the AP Company Parameters form.

  • If you are paying this vendor by credit card, this field will default from the CM Acct field in the AP Company Parameters form (Payment Services tab).
