ENTERING BILLS HOW TO ENTER BILLS GLOBALLY
To Access the Accounts Payable Module we use the Main Portfolio Menu: Place your content here! The Accounts Payable Process is a Global Feature you do not have to be in a Community to Access the Feature -on the Main Portfolio Menu you click on the Accounts Payable Tab.
The First Section of the screen:
We can change the Community Input Data from the Invoice Add the Vendor- your Vendors Are Global you can choose any vendor each community wil keep its own database for that vendor s transactions. Select the Bill Type- this means that you can process 2 types of entries: Enter a Bill this means that you need a Hard Copy Check printed Handwritten Check- this means you need to record a payment but do not need a hard check- this is usually used for on line bill payments.
Scheduling Schedule- this option allows you to create reoccurring Accounts Payable Invoices This allows you 3 options:
The Second Section: Bill Number- this is the Invoice Number off of the Invoice itself Reference- What is the Invoice for? Bank- What Bank Account do you want this check cut out of? Bill Date- What is the date on the Invoice? Effective Date- What date do you want this Invoice to post to the General Ledger? Due Date- What is the Actual Date the invoice is due?
The Third Section: This is where you distribute your expenses
A Basic Invoice disbursed: A/P Expense Distribution
If you needed to disburse out the expense to multiple accounts- that flexibility is in the software: A/P Expense Distribution
