Accounts Payable overview summary
- The number of Vendor Accounts you may establish is unlimited as are the number
of transactions.
- Payment terms are user definable on a Vendor level.
- On screen vendor account inquiries include pop-up window selection of vendor accounts
for viewing, editing and entry of payables.
- Vendor Payment and Early Payment Discount Terms may be specified for each Vendor. On entry
of a payable, the Accounts Payable program will calculate the payment due and term
discount due (early payment) dates based on this information. Both Payment Due Date
and Discount Cut-off Date may be overridden at time of entry, or changed, after
posting of the payable. There is no need to access each vendor's invoice to activate
the early discount calculations. When checks are printed with a user specified check
date before or equal the early payment due date,
the program will automatically
deduct any early payment discounts available.
- Term discount calculations
are based on the check date specified when presented
with the print checks menu, and occurs regardless of the actual date the checks
are printed.
- Accounts Payable Term Discounts may be calculated on amounts before or after taxes.
- Check printing software. Prints checks based on user selectable payable due dates.
Override vendor or payable details as required or place vendor on hold.

over where costs are posted in the general ledger.

a vendor, or vendor range, and all vendor invoices with a payable due date equal
to or earlier than the cut-off date specified will be included in the check run.
A proof list may be printed before printing of the actual checks.
- Based on the specific payment and early payment discount terms specified for each
vendor, the program automatically calculates and deducts early payment discounts
if applicable.

been posted. This allows for greater flexibility of selecting invoices to be included
in, or excluded from a check run.
