Show AP Aging Columns in the Disbursement window

A new feature for AcctVantage 2013.0.0.3 is the ability to have AP Aging Columns displayed in the AP Disbursement window. These will be the same columns you are used to seeing in the AP Aging window.

  • If you have made any changes to the Standard AP Disbursement View Definition, you'll want to follow the instructions for Steps 1-6 (below) to add the AP Aging Columns. This is necessary so you don't overwrite any custom changes you've made to the View Definition. Skip to the Alternate Instructions @ Step 1 for more information.
  • If you are using the Standard AP Disbursement View Definition, you can download and install the new Standard AP Disbursement View Definition, which will update the window to include these columns.

For more on the View Editor see this article.
