To Find Vendors and Customers with Discrepancies Between the General Ledger and a Subledger

You use the Discrepancy by Vendor (AP409020) and Discrepancy by Customer (AR409020) forms to show vendor and customer accounts with discrepancies between the accounts' balances in the subledger (accounts payable or accounts receivable) and the total of the transactions posted to the general ledger by the vendor or customer documents in the selected financial period.

You can search for or navigate to these forms directly. Also, the system navigates to these forms when you click the link in the Discrepancy column on the Discrepancy by Account (AP409010) or Discrepancy by Account (AR409010) form.

Note: To open any form, you can navigate to it or search for it (by its name or by its form ID without periods). For more information about search capabilities, see Search.
