Accounts Payable

Account Payables are those liabilities that come from the purchase of goods or services on credit. This module is used to enter all data concerned with Accounts Payable including Vendors, Vouchers (invoices or bills), Payments, Checks, Payment Terms and Banks.


Some entries in ACCOUNTS PAYABLE may be password protected for security. If a password prompt appears, type the password, and press <ENTER>. 


There are help messages at the bottom of every screen. They are usually located in "Entry Options" (General Help section in Procedures) and change from prompt to prompt. (Example:  Enter the Vendor Code to Pay. Enter <?> or Part of Name for List of Vendors.)


Some Menu sections have additional on-screen instructions. Those items that have the Menu Help have the Menu number highlighted. To view the Menu Help:  At the Menu with a highlighted number, enter a <?> plus the number of the menu item that is highlighted (example: <?1>) and press <ENTER>. Then type the letter H and press <ENTER>. When viewing the help you have the option to Exit (pressing the X key), Print (pressing the P key) or Downloading the help instructions to a file (pressing the D key). Use the arrow and page keys to scroll the help if there is more than one page.


You have a variety of ways to lookup an item (example: Customer Number, Account Number, and Part Number). Please refer to Lookup/Select in the General Help section in Procedures, on various ways to lookup information. At all Entry Screens you may Edit, Save or Delete. Please refer to Entry Options in the General Help section in Procedures, on various things you may do at "Enter Selection."
