[GNC] Find what was in Accounts Payable some date in the past.

[Adrien Monteleone]

The Payables Aging Report will tell you the *amount* that is 
outstanding, and to who, and with an aging time frame, as of the date of 
the report.

Once you have the Payables Aging Report - you know who you owed money to 
as of that date and how much.

To see which bills that entails, you have to click the total amount owed 
to that vendor, which will then give you a Vendor Report where you can 
choose in Options to see the Detailed Links that show you which payments 
apply to which bills and which bills were covered by which payments, and 
thus figure out what exactly was owed and why as of a particular date. 
(with aging info on both reports) You may need or want to alter this 
reports date range as well.

You *could* just run the vendor report correctly, but running the Aging 
Report first quickly highlights the amounts and vendors to target for 
further investigation.

Adrien
