Accounts Payable
The Accounts Payable module is designed to process vendor invoices either as received Purchaser Orders from the
Purchase Order module or as invoices entered directly into the
Accounts Payable module. It is an open item system of invoice maintenance and payment, including complete monthly recurring payment processing. Invoices may be paid and reconciled using either automated cheque writing, or manual cheque writing. Either method then supports a complete cheque reconciliation function.
There are many reports and/or screen presentations available to the accounting office for cash planning, age analysis, vendor reconciliation and transaction analysis. This module is fully integrated with the
General Ledger, Purchasing and
Inventory Control modules, and yet is capable of being implemented as a stand alone module. Both stock and non-stock items can be processed, with complete flexibility to override all default costs, extensions and account distribution codes.
