CHAPTER 10 ACQUISITION AND PAYMENTS

Transcription

1 CHAPTER 10 ACQUISITION AND PAYMENTS In Chapter 9, your students set up a merchandising business and entered vendors and inventory items. In Chapter 10, they acquire inventory (make purchases) and make vendor payments. The acquisition and payment process includes the activities associated with maintaining, buying, and paying for the goods and services needed by the business. This process includes acquiring and paying for merchandise and other services, such as, insurance, office supplies, property and equipment, and utilities. In Great Plains acquisition and payments take place in the accounts payables module, also known as Payables Management. Chapter 2, student textbook pages 39-79, showed how Fabrikam, Inc. used the accounts payable module. The diagram below illustrated how vendors are paid. A vendor sends Computer Sales & Service an invoice (bill). You enter the invoice in the Receivings Transaction Entry window (Transactions; Purchasing, Receivings Transaction Entry; Type, Shipment/Invoice. When it is time to pay the invoice, you use the Payables Manual Payment Entry window. The business that your students set up in Chapter 9, Computer Sales & Service, is continued in Chapters 10, 11, and 12. Each end-of-chapter exercise must be completed before starting the next chapter IMK

3 Acquisition and Payments IMK GP TIPS, CHAPTER 10 Before students start recording and posting transactions they need to follow the Posting Setup steps on textbook pages GP automatically sets up a batch for payment management transactions. The batches are identified as PMTRX and PMPAY, payables management transactions and payables management payments, respectively. These abbreviations are also used as the audit trail codes. Since GP sets up a batch, students must complete series posting of textbook pages You may want to instruct students to print a summary trial balance before they unload (detach) data. Detached data should be copied to a hard drive location and then zipped to compress the files. When students start GP and load (attach) data, remind them to check their summary trial balance to make sure they are starting where they left off the last time they used Great Plains. Self-Check figures are given throughout the chapter. Students should verify their work against the self-check amounts. LECTURE OUTLINE FOR CHAPTER 10 A. Software Objectives, page 373 B.
