The Payables system is used to post vendor invoices and to make vendor payments. Invoices may be entered with multiple distribution amounts, including multiple general ledger account numbers and/or job and phase combinations. Payments can be processed through the Schedule Payments option (when printing more than one check at a time) or can be processed through the Handwritten Checks option. Handwritten checks are also used to create a joint check. The balance due on each invoice, or on each vendor, or on each job, or on each expense account, can be easily displayed and is automatically aged by the vendor's invoice date. An option to process 1099s is also included in the Payables module.
