Open a summary—Accounts Payable

If your organization's policies allow it, you can re-open a closed summary to allow changes such as adding or deleting bills. The Open AP subledger page enables you to reopen summaries either by period or by summary name.

Re-open a summary

1. Go to Accounts Payable > All > Subledger > Open.
2. If you are at the top level, select an Entity or entity group.
3. You have two ways to open summaries:
   • By date: select To the start of period, then select a standard period such as Month Ended January 2020, First Quarter 2020, and so on. Sage Intacct opens both bill summaries and adjusting summaries.
   • By name: select Open a single summary, then select the name of the summary you want to open.
4. Select Open.
   Are you opening the summary to post a single transaction? Remember to close it immediately so no one can inadvertently post more transactions to it.
