The Accounts Payable module enables you to add, delete and modify information regarding your suppliers and their payment terms, currencies and bank accounts and other information pertaining to your accounts payable. Through the Accounts Payable module you will post invoices received from your suppliers and issue cheques to make your payments. You will reconcile your cheques with your monthly bank statement. The Accounts Payable module includes listing and report programs that enable you to display and print the status of your payables and accruals, including aging information, your outstanding cheques and current cash requirements.
The Accounts Payable module is fully integrated with the General Ledger module. Normally you will not perform general ledger journal entries affecting your accounts payable. A system balancing test enables you to verify at any time that your accounts payable and general ledger systems are in balance.
Some programs of the Accounts Payable module are terminal dependent. This means that the batches created may only be accessed from the same terminal that originally created them. This eliminates the possibility of data corruption caused by two operators attempting to add or modify data in the same batch. Terminal dependent programs are identified in this manual.
