When entering bills into peachtree those payables are not included in the balance sheet as "accounts payable" even though those are bills due. Am I missing something? Is there a way to set the company up to view those transactions?

Thanks for your help!

Make sure you're entering them through purchases.

Make sure your Accounts Payable account says it's accounts payable (i.e. the list given for "account type").

Make sure when you enter the bills that you've picked the proper A/P account number for the account to be used for them. (You can put anything into that slot you want, but if you do put something else, it'll start defaulting to that. That is, it goes wherever you last put it. Um... maybe not if you leave the program and come back, but if you're still entering bills.)

If you're entering beginning balances, you may need to put the total A/P balance in separately yourself as a beginning balance. (I have an older version that did that; don't know if it still does.)

Won't hurt to go into the setup for payables and see that your account is the default there too, but you can change it with individual purchases so I'm not sure that would screw it up.

Otherwise, I don't know what's wrong without looking at it.

As for viewing the transactions themselves, there's a couple of reports under the payables where you can do that. But that's not the same thing as showing up on your balance sheet.

One question, if you do the ledgers through GL, do they show up there?
