Supplier reconciliation report
The Supplier reconciliation report shows, for a selected time period, how much is owed to each supplier and how payments and credits reconcile to AP supplier invoices.
Each matched transaction in the report is assigned an alpha match sequence. This sequence allows you to reconcile the relationship between AP supplier invoices, payments, and credits. By examining the match sequence, you can answer questions such as:
- Which credits and payments were applied to a given AP supplier invoice?
- Where was a given credit applied?
- Which transactions have not been matched, or have only been partially matched?
You can filter the report to see transactions that are unmatched, partially matched, or fully matched. You can also filter the report for a given match sequence.
Who typically needs this report?
- Accountants, controllers, anyone who needs to see who owes money to whom.
- Accountants and controllers who need to see how payments and credits reconcile to specific AP supplier invoices.
For information on terms that may differ in your location, see Terminology across locales.
Before you begin
Before you can run the Supplier reconciliation report, you need to set up the match sequence and enable the report.
After you enable the report, Intacct applies match sequences to new Accounts Payable transactions that you create going forward.

Customize and run
Before running the report, you can select the time period and types of items to include as well as specify how you want the report to appear.
-
Select the reporting period from the dropdown menu, or enter the start and end dates you want the report to cover. If you do not specify a reporting period, the system generates a report for the current month to date.
You can specify either the reporting period or the start and end dates, but not both.
-
Set the filters to get the specific data you want.
Filters enable you to include or exclude specific types of data in the report, such as supplier and location. As a general rule, to get fewer and more precise results in your report, set more filters.
-
Format the report.
Format options vary from report to report. Generally, you can set the layout of the report and/or arrange how to group and display the data contained in the report.
- Type a title, subtitle, and footer text for your report.

You can use trial-and-error to get the precise results you want. Just fill in the desired fields, and select View to see the report. If the results aren't what you want, select Customize to return to the report setup page and refine the report further. Repeat this process until you're satisfied.
For complex financial reports that will be run regularly, save the report after you're done setting it up. The next time you're ready to run the report, you only have to change the As of date before running the report.
Time period
You can use one of the numerous predefined reporting periods available from the Reporting Period and As of Date boxes. You can also create your own reporting period using the Start Date and End Date boxes.
In the Time period section, do one of the following:
- Use the Reporting period dropdown list to select the reporting period. Either enter a date in the As of date field or use the calendar tool to select a date.
- Enter a specific Start date, End date, or both. Alternatively, use the calendar tool to select the desired dates.
If you complete all the time period fields (that is, if you fill in the Reporting period, As of date, Start date, and End date fields), Sage Intacct generates your report based on the start and end dates. It ignores the As of date.
The following table describes the fields in the Time period section.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
|
Reporting period |
These periods are relative to the As of date. All periods begin on the first day of the period, such as the first day of the month, quarter, or year that you select. |
|
As of date |
The date that Intacct will use as a baseline for the reporting period you select. Defaults to today's date. |
|
Start date |
Leave the Start date blank to include all information from the earliest date of your Intacct data up to and including the end date. |
|
End date |
Leave the End date blank to include all information from the start date up to today. |
|
Prompt on run |
Select this checkbox to force Intacct to wait for you (or anyone using this report) to enter a location, department, and/or time period before it will run the report. |
Report filters
You can filter the list by supplier name or leave the supplier range empty to include all suppliers. You can also choose to suppress or display accounts with zero balances.
To set filters to refine your report results:
- To set the report to show results for a specific supplier or range of suppliers, use the From Supplier and To Supplier dropdowns.How to use the From and To fields
All From and To field pairs work the same way. Use them to get search results in as broad or as fine a range as you need, from everything in the system down to a single specific object.
To run this report for a single object:
- From the From dropdown list, select the object you want.
- From the To dropdown list, select the same object.
To run this report for a specific range of objects:
- From the From dropdown list, select the object that you want at the beginning of the range.
- From the To dropdown list, select the object that you want at the end of the range.
To run this report for all objects:
Leave both fields blank.
If you have a large number of objects or the report takes too long to process, use the From and To fields to run a series of smaller reports. For example, you can run five reports, one each for objects whose names begin with A-E, then F-J, K-O, P-T, and U-Z.
An object is a catch-all term that refers to any specific data item in the system. Customers, suppliers, items, and accounts are all examples of objects.
- To limit the types of matches shown in the report, select Select under Matches to display, then select the match types you want, and select Done.
The report includes unmatched, partially matched, and fully matched transactions by default.
- Select the Include All Suppliers checkbox to include transactions from suppliers with zero balances.
- Select Include Zero Balance Suppliers with Activity to include accounts with zero balances only if these suppliers had activity during the selected time period.
Multi-entity, multi-currency filters
Multi-entity and multi-currency companies specify the type of currency, the location, and the department in their filters.
Transaction Currency
If you are a multi-currency company, you can filter transactions based on a specific currency. (This field is visible only in a multi-currency environment). From the Transaction currency dropdown list, select the currency you want the report to show. If you do not select a currency, the report includes transactions in your base currency.
Location
The following filter options appear only if you work in a multi-currency and multi-entity environment.
- To filter the report by geographic location, enter the name of the region, country, state or territory, or city in the Location box, or select the down arrow, and then select the location you want from the list that appears.Location is required to run this report at the top level when you have multiple base currencies. The location you specify determines the appropriate currency.
- To override the selection in the Location box, use the Show For field.
Where you are in the organization affects what the report includes.
- All Locations: include data for all locations regardless of the entity that you're currently using.
- This Location: only display the data of the location/entity/group you selected but not display the data of its children.
- Child Locations: only display the data of the children of the location or entity selected.
Transactions with multiple line items from different locations
When you create a transaction with multiple line items from different locations, the report does not filter at the line level.
For example, using the same setup, if you have a single transaction that includes:
|
Line |
Location |
Amount |
|---|---|---|
|
1 |
California |
$1000.00 |
|
2 |
New York |
$1500.00 |
No matter what you select in the Show for option, the report will show $2,500.00, which is the total, not individual lines.
The following table describes each item in the Filters section of this report settings page:
| Filter Box | Notes |
|---|---|
|
From supplier, To supplier |
Includes data for a specific supplier or range of suppliers. By default these boxes are blank, which means the report will retrieve results for all suppliers. |
|
Transaction currency |
Filters for transactions using that currency. By default this option is clear, which means the report contains transactions of all currencies. However, the report itself is in base currency. |
|
Location |
Limits report results to a specific location or location group. Only appears for multi-currency, multi-entity companies. |
|
Individual report |
Select this checkbox if you want each entity or location, or both, to have its own report. Due to their potentially large size, reports with departments and locations on individual pages can be run offline only. Therefore, if you select the Individual report option, you can select only Process and store. When you select Individual reports, all of the individual reports are contained in a single report or Excel workbook. |
|
Prompt on run |
Used when you memorize a report and go to memorized reports. When you run the report, you do not see any of the filters. With a prompt, the user makes the selections prior to running the report or accepting what was previously saved in the memorized report. |
|
Match sequence |
To return a report for a single match sequence, enter the sequence here. The sequence is case sensitive, based on whether the transaction is matched versus unmatched or partially matched. |
|
Matches to display |
By default, all match types display in the report. Alternatively, you can select what type of transaction match you want to show:
|
|
Include all suppliers |
Includes suppliers that have zero balances. If you do not select this option, the report includes only those suppliers that have a balance. |
|
Include zero balance suppliers with activity |
Includes all suppliers except suppliers with a zero balance, unless the supplier with a zero balance had activity during the period. |
|
Show for |
Select to show different views of the data, based on the location or entity you choose: All locations: This option shows the data that's posted to the location or entity and its children. This location: This option shows only the data that's posted to the location or entity you select. The data posted to any child location is not shown. Child locations: This option shows only the data that's posted to the child locations of the location or entity that you select. Any data that's posted to the parent location or entity is not shown. Example: Suppose your location is United States > California > San Francisco. All locations would show transactions for United States, California, and San Francisco. This location would show transactions for United States. Child locations would show transactions for California and San Francisco only. |

The type of transaction, such as the following:
When you apply an AP adjustment to an AP supplier invoice, the Txn type shows the document number of the adjustment as applied on the AP supplier invoice number. For example, say you have an AP adjustment with a document number of C10 that you apply to AP supplier invoice 1500. Txn type for entries related to the credit application is C10 applied on 1500.
