==== WARNING / CAUTION ====


<note warning>
Please note that if you are posting journal entry checks to your suppliers these will not show on this report. There won't be a bill either. For this method to be complete you must have run all transactions for a supplier through the AP module by creating Bills and then Paying them with AP Checks. Any Journal Entry Checks must be manually accounted for and added to the totals from this report.
</note>

==== WHY? ====

The reason that Journal Entry Checks must be manually found and totalled is because Journal Entries are not attatched to a supplier. The purpose of the Accounts Payable Module is to create a relationship between expenses and payments and the supplier they are for. If you do not run the transactions through the AP module it is like saying you don't want to track the supplier for that transaction.
