Steps for Running Accounts Payable

The Accounts Payable program uses the same company data files as the BasicBooks General Ledger. To run BBAP you must first have the General Ledger set up and you must be located in the same directory (Folder) as you are when you run the BasicBooks General Ledger since Accounts Payable needs to access the codata.d directory. Follow these steps to run Accounts Payable.

1. Change to the directory where you normally run the BasicBooks General Ledger. (The directory where codata.d is located.)
2. Enter the command, -> BBAP.
3. Enter the same Company Code you use when running the General Ledger for the company you have chosen. This will load the company data files for your company. You may see and/or print these data by selecting Company File from the main menu. Changes to the company data file can only be made from within the BasicBooks General Ledger program.
4. The Accounts Payable main menu will appear.
