A/P Invoice Entry

This is to create, edit or view A/P Invoice Entry.

A/P Invoice Entry is different from Purchase Invoice though they are both involving creditors:

  • A/P Invoice Entry is an Accounting entry (no bill printing); while Purchase Invoice is a billing document (Invoice can be printed)
  • A/P Invoice Entry (upon save) will automatically update the related G/L accounts; Purchase Invoice (upon save) will post automatically (depends on option setting) the entries to A/P Invoice Entry and update the related G/L accounts.
  • A/P Invoice Entry is mainly used when you are not using Invoicing system;
  • You are not allowed to edit A/P Invoice Entry if it was posted from other source (Purchase Invoice).
