[webERP-users] why general ledger payment vs payment to a supplier ??

[Dale S. <dal...@sh...>]

Hello list, when is a general ledger payment preferred to a payment to a supplier, or vice versa? I read the manual, but I don't understand why. If it makes any difference, I'm looking for the simplest overall procedure 

I'm trying to follow a full purchasing cycle but the accounting stuff has me stuck again. I created and and printed a PO, received the stock and created a vendor invoice. Now I want to pay the vendor, but I don't know if I should be making a "general ledger payment", or a "payment to a supplier". 

Here's the screen I'm looking at: http://www.dalescott.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/weberp-item-90000001-00_purchase-023_payment_to_newark_from_bank_account.png 

I'm documenting the big picture here: http://www.dalescott.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/weberp-item-90000001-00_purchase-023_payment_to_newark_from_bank_account.png 


Thanks in advance, 
Dale
