• Closing balance

If you specify a date range in the date filter, for each vendor the report displays:

• Beginning balance
• Each transaction within the period, and their remaining amounts and due dates
• Ending balance

You can run the report in your local currency or in the vendor's currency. You can also exclude vendors that didn't have transactions in the period.
