Accounts Payable – Vendors (Canada)

Modified: 7 Sep 2026 ProContractor Year-End Help

Complete the accounts payable activities for Canada listed below.

You must specify the reporting period you will use for filing T5018 slips with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), which will determine the due date for reporting to the CRA. Once you have set the reporting period and due date with the CRA, set the vendor compensation reporting period on the Accounts Payable Settings screen. Go to Vendors > Setup > Accounts Payable Settings.

Use the following checklist when you need to generate T5018 slips.

Reporting Preparation

  • Review Vendor Setup – Go to Vendors > Setup > View Vendor Setups and run the Vendors view. You can review addresses and vendor compensation reporting information for all vendors. You can customize this view and save it for use next year. If you need to modify a vendor, double-click on the vendor in the view to open the Vendor screen for that vendor.
  • Print the Vendor Compensation Report to view the list of vendors with reportable payments for the year. Go to Vendors > Reports > Vendor Compensation Report.
