Unpaid Bills Report

The Unpaid Bills report highlights all the bills that you have received, which remain unpaid. You can also choose to select only those bills that remain unpaid after the agreed due date.

Note that payments made after the date agreed with your supplier could result in exposing your business to a credit charge from your supplier under late payments legislation.

The unpaid bills download file can be used as the basis for a file to submit via your bank or BACS to make payment direct to suppliers. You are responsible for ensuring the file is in a format appropriate to the needs of your bank or BACS service provider.

Overdue Bills

Check this box to report only on those bills that remain unpaid after the agreed due date.

From Date

Enter or select a date from which to include unpaid bills.

Enter the dates manually (e.g 19/12/2002) or click on the calendar icon to select date from calendar. These are the start and end date of the current financial year. Examples '1/01/2002 to 31/12/2002' '1/04/2003 to 31/03/2004'

When entering dates manually, a date guessing routine speeds up the input by taking the user input and assuming the missing month and or year based on the current date as the user leaves the field i.e.

the date today is 30th October 2009

Payment File Format

Payment files can be generated for employee, supplier and customer payments.

Select the most suitable format to use as a starting point for your electronic payment file. Please contact support@libertyaccounts.com if you need a different format for a specific online payment system operated by a major UK bank.

The BACS style files have dates and amounts formatted in the BACS style, but still need to be processed by your BACS software into proper BACS files.
