Centralized Processing of Multiple Facilities and Inter-Company Accounting

Accounts Payable offers superior tools for maintaining vendor information, processing invoices, writing checks, generating 1099s, and monitoring cash requirements. Accounts Payable and General Ledger are part of our Web-based single-database system.

Quickly Access Multi-level Data by Vendor and Invoice

Vendor information

Master vendor windows give you complete information that’s instantly accessible and is used automatically in the accounts payable processes. For multi-facility organizations, vendor information can be shared by all.

Collect and maintain data such as 1099 information and multiple vendor addresses. For vendors with multiple addresses, you can assign pay-to codes for each address. You can assign distribution account numbers per vendor that default when entering an invoice. A historical review of year-to-date activity by vendor is available on demand.

Discount terms

Set up codes for every vendors’ discount terms, such as 1% in 10 days/net 30 days, or due on the 15th of the month for a 2% discount. The Accounts Payable (AP) application uses that data to calculate check amounts and schedule invoices for payment.

Cash Management

Make payments at the optimum time using AP’s cash management functions including the ability to select invoices for payment automatically or manually. If you choose automatic, the system uses your criteria, such as invoice due date.

To manually select invoices, flag them from a list sorted by vendor, discount due date, or invoice due date, and indicate payment, partial pay, and/or hold. A preliminary check register with complete data is generated as a final check and balance.

NetSolutions AP shows you the cash requirements for invoices based on a date and/or invoice due dates. Change dates and see the dollar results. Change outstanding checks’ status to “paid” as you reconcile checks online.

Powerful Inquiry Tools

Vendor/Invoice Inquiry

With AP’s Vendor Inquiry page you can answer any question on a vendor or invoice. The first page shows vendor number and address. Click other tabs to see vendor demographics, vendor invoices, invoice details, invoice distribution, events, and notes.

Change to the Invoice view to see details of all or selected invoices by vendor in one window. This includes post dates, invoice and vendor numbers, discount information, due date, PO number, 1099 type, and payment information.

Drill down to more information on a specific invoice, including check number, amount and date. An additional inquiry window shows an invoice history for a selected vendor.

Check status inquiry

Search for a check by number, date, or vendor and view the check’s status (open, reconciled, stopped, canceled, and void) including the date of change and user who last changed the status. The page also includes a scrollable summary of checks by number, vendor, date, amount, type, status and status date.
