Working Hard to Safely Return

We are in the process of bringing our team back to our offices. See what we are doing to ensure a safe return.

Accounts Payable

Accounts Payable is used to maintain vendors, enter invoices, debit or credit memos and generate payments.

The Financial Accounting System (FAS) accepts partial and final payments against purchase orders. As payments are applied to an encumbrance, the “open amount” is reduced. A final payment removes any remaining encumbrance from open status. Unused amounts are returned to the available balance when payments are processed or encumbrances are liquidated.

A complete vendor file is included in FAS. It is maintained through on-line access even while transactions are being processed.

The system also includes the following bank reconciliation features:

Automated check reconciliation processing using electronic media from banking institution
Human Resource System interface
Financial Accounting System interface
Manual processing for checks drawn against financial institutions unable to supply information on electronic media
