If a C appears next to a transaction, this means that it is 'completely settled by post-dated transactions'. This text should appear at the bottom of the report.

For example, if you have an invoice on Sept 1 but the payment is dated Nov 1, then running that invoice will have a C next to it, meaning that the amount that pays that invoice is dated in the future. Also, if you backdate the Report Date, this affects which transactions are selected.

Try previewing the report with the 'Applied Details' option selected to see if this sheds any light on things.

Edit or View the vendor and go to the Transactions tab. The transactions that appear on the Open Payables report appear on the Current screen. You probably will be able to find the invoice(s) in question; highlight and look at the Applied details. What is the date of the payment (or other applied details) in the grid halfway down the screen?

Hi ecomarine,

If you have paid an invoice and used a future date by mistake (thus having the 'C' print on your open payables report), and the invoice and payment are fully settled, these transactions will be cleared to history when you run Period End and clear the completed transactions. Remember open payables only prints the transactions in the 'current' file, not the historical file.

If the transaction with the 2044 date has not been fully applied, then you can purge it when it has been fully applied. This could mean adjusting the current amount to zero and re-posting that amount with a correct date.
