About setting up accounts payable parameters

Use accounts payable parameters to adjust functionality to meet your company's needs and requirements.

Important
We recommend that you first review all parameters and set them as necessary, especially before invoicing, because the parameters determine how the data generated by the transactions is handled.

To open the Accounts payable parametersform, click Accounts payable> Setup> Parameters . The parameters are grouped onto tabs according to functionality, such as the following tabs.

Tab	Description
General	Specify the default values for when new purchase orders are created.
Updates	Define how to update invoices and packing slips and specify default values for summary updates.
Ledger and sales tax	Specify default values related to posting profiles, sales tax posting, and cash flow forecasts.
Settlement	Define how settlements are handled.
Credit rating	Specify the credit limit type that most of your vendors use.
Prices	Specify how to calculate the total discount if both line and multiline discounts have been defined for a purchase order, and whether to allocate miscellaneous charges automatically when purchase orders are created.
Inventory dimensions	Select which inventory dimensions to display on purchase order lines.
Number sequences	Define number sequences that are relevant for Accounts payable.
