Workflow: Setting Up and Using Vendor Payables

AMS360's Vendor Payables feature set provides your agency with tools such as the following:

  • The ability to track vendor invoices by number
  • Vendor Invoice Templates, which minimize your invoice data entry time
  • Cross-divisional accounting, which allows for expense splits across multiple agency divisions
  • General Ledger postings based on the incurred Vendor Invoice Date and Pay Amount (applies only to agencies with accrual-basis vendor accounting, as entered in Agency Setup > Vendor Payables)
  • Cash management reporting without general ledger accrual postings (applies only to agencies with cash-basis accounting, as entered in Agency Setup > Vendor Payables)

You must decide your Vendor Accounting Basis prior to posting any Vendor Invoices. Once the first Vendor Invoice is posted, this selection cannot be changed. See the following section: Before You Begin > Step 1: Decide on Accounting Basis.
