Accounts Payable has to do with setting up vendors in your accounting system, recording of bills,
receipts, and processing payments.
Examples of
Accounts Payable
-
When
goods and services
are purchased on credit and billed at a later time, accounts payable must process the bill
for payment on the due date.
-
When
goods and services
are purchased and paid with cash, a receipt is provided which has to be accounted for and
recorded in the accounting system to the proper general ledger expense account.
-
To pay a vendor it is
important to have certain documents on hand. The standard documents are:
purchase order, packing slip
or acknowledgment for receipt of goods and services, and invoice.
