Open entries - Accounts Payable

The accounts payable open entries store all accounts payable transactions. When they have been fully paid, accounts payable remain in the open entries for information purposes and analysis. However, retaining fully paid accounts payable longer than required, affects the performance of various processes in Accounts Payable and Cash Management.

The performance of the following sessions is affected by the volume of open entries:

  • Assign Credit Notes to Invoices (tfacp2120m000)
  • Assign Invoices/Schedules to Credit Notes (tfacp2121s000)
  • Assign Advance/Unallocated Payments to Invoices (tfcmg2131s000)
  • Assign Unallocated/Advance Payments to Invoices (tfcmg2106s000)
  • Print Control Account Checklist (tfacp2415m000)

To optimize performance of accounts payable sessions and reduce database growth, complete the following steps:

  1. Write off payment differences.
  2. Archive and delete fully paid purchase invoices.
