If you have access to Supplier Payments in Back-office, you will be able to search for a supplier. 


In the Supplier Payments screen, in the "Allocate Payment" and "Post Payment" tabs it is necessary to select a supplier using the filter button.


STEPS:


1. In Advantage Back-office, click the left sidebar menu. 

2. Open the Suppliers menu. 

3. Click on Supplier Payments.

4. Click on the filter button in the navigation bar:

NOTE: Only suppliers with a CREDIT balance (your business owes them) will appear in the filter list. Suppliers with a 0.00 balance or a DEBIT balance (they owe you) will not appear in the filter list, and therefore you will not be able to perform payment allocations for the supplier. 
It is only when the supplier account has a CREDIT balance, that the supplier becomes "available" for allocations. 


5. Type a part of the Supplier namesupplier ID or Supplier number in the search field: 

6. Press "Enter" on your keyboard. 

7. Select the supplier by clicking on it:

8. The chosen supplier transactions will be displayed.
