Accounts Payable

The Accounts Payable (AP) Module allows companies to manage liabilities for purchased and received goods and services.

The AP module helps you automate payment processing, predict cash requirements, track vendor balances, and gather statistical information. Highlighted Features

Vendor Prepayments

Acumatica allows you to enter prepayment requests, issue prepayments to vendors, and apply prepayments to vendor invoices once they are received. You can assign prepayments to the same GL account as the customer AP balance or designate a dedicated prepayment account. The vendor prepayments balance is kept separate from the regular AP balance in order to maintain deposits as an asset account.

Prepaid Expense Recognition

Each AP line item can be assigned a deferred expense schedule to you can accurately recognize expenses in the proper reporting period. Acumatica will automatically split the expense between the prepaid expense asset and expense accounts and recognize the expense after running the prepaid expense recognition process.

Use, VAT, and Withholding Tax Support

The AP module automatically calculates Use and VAT Taxes and prepares reports for tax filing and reporting. Each vendor can be assigned a default tax zone which includes the list of the applicable taxes and reporting municipalities for the vendor. This default information can be overridden during the bill entry. Tax calculation options include multiple number of tax items per document line, deduction of tax amount from the price, and tax on tax calculation. Acumatica also supports Withholding tax calculations.

Additional Features

• Payment Approval Process - Bills can be automatically approved for payments or go through a payment approval process so you can prioritize or delay the bill payment, select the account the bill should be paid from, and select a method of payment. Once the bill is approved for the payment you can print the check or issue an electronic payment.
• Multiple AP Accounts in GL - Acumatica allows you to link different groups of Vendors to different AP accounts in the GL. The default Vendor AP account can be overridden during the Bill or Payment entry process. Acumatica automatically tracks which account was selected and offsets the correct account and amount when the payment is applied.
• Multiple Currencies Support - Acumatica allows you to manage vendors who issue invoices or accept invoices in a foreign currency by keeping a separate balance for each foreign currency. The system will automatically look up the effective currency rate and calculate the document amounts in your base currency. Currency triangulation and the realized gain/loss calculation is automatically performed by the system. Unrealized gains and losses can be calculated through the AP foreign currency balances revaluation process
• Recurrent AP Documents - Acumatica allows you to create recurring bills to reduce data entry and reduce potential errors. Set the frequency of the payment as well as the time frame. Once established, recurring bills will appear in the recurrent transaction processing screen so you can modify and release them.
• Vendor Refunds - Acumatica allows you to receive vendor refunds. The Vendor Refund document will debit a cash account and debit an AP Account. You can apply a refund towards a Debit Adjustment or Prepayment document.

You can specify the minimum amount of each type of 1099 box within the year.
• Vendor Account Security - Acumatica allows you to specify which individuals and roles can view and modify vendor account information and balances in order to prevent unauthorized account access and restrict sensitive vendor information.
• Audit Trail - The AP module provides a complete audit trail of all customer transactions. After a document is released, you cannot delete or cancel the document - to correct mistakes, you must enter a correcting AP document to reverse the incorrect entry. Acumatica keeps the details of all AP Documents, including the user who entered the transaction and the user who modified the record. The auditing process is simplified by having notes as well as supporting electronic documents attached directly to the transactions.

Accounts Receivable

The Accounts Receivable (AR) module allows companies to manage receivables and automate billing operations tasks.

The AR module is used to enter customer invoices, send customer statements, collect and apply payments, verify customer balances, track sales commissions, and deliver customer reports.

Invoice and Statement Delivery

Acumatica allows you to automate the creation and delivery of customer invoices and statements. Acumatica can format statements for printing or generate documents in HTML or PDF formats for delivery via email.

You can connect to any bank processing center by using one of the included processing plug-ins or by building a custom plug-in using SDK.

Deferred Revenue Recognition

Acumatica provides deferred revenue calculations to support your revenue recognition requirements. While entering invoices, you can assign a deferred revenue code to each line item.

Contracts are linked to case management and employee time sheets so you can include billable hours and customer support hours in your customer bills.
• Multiple AR Accounts in GL - Acumatica allows you to map different groups of customers to different AR accounts in the GL by specifying a default AR account for each customer. The default AR account can be overridden during the document entry.

• Multiple Currencies Support - Acumatica allows you to issue customer invoices and collect customer payments in a foreign currency. In order to track customer balances and provide accurate reporting, Acumatica maintains the customer balance in the foreign currency as well as your base currency.

Acumatica can automatically create dunning messages for past-due accounts and temporarily increase credit limits.
• Payment Reversal and Automatic Payment application - Acumatica allows you to automatically apply payments to the oldest outstanding documents to reduce the time spent matching payments to invoices. If a payment was recorded or applied incorrectly, you can void the entire payment or the application of the payment. All affected document balances will be automatically reversed.
• Sales Commission Calculation - Acumatica automatically calculates sales commissions based on a sales commission schedule. The sales commission can be split among multiple salespeople, linked to specific line items on an invoice, and paid when the invoice is issued or when the payment is received. Sales commissions can be calculated on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis.
• Overdue Charges Calculation - Acumatica automatically calculates and applies overdue charges to help you improve your collection rate.

Use the “on-the-fly” entry feature to restrict the list of available sub accounts based on pre-defined combinations of segment values. This simplifies order entry for complex sub account structures.

GL Consolidation

Acumatica allows you to import financial data from different entities to create consolidated financial reporting and analysis. The import process works even if entities keep their books in different currencies or have different account and sub account structures. Corrections for minority interests, inter-company transfers, and other transactions are preserved inside the consolidating company ledger so they are not affected with subsequent consolidations.

Additional Features

Reports can be published on the web or distributed through email in Excel or PDF formats.

During data entry, the system will automatically suggest the financial period that corresponds to the transaction date and issue a warning if you override the period to protect against errors associated with multiple open periods.
• Multiple Currencies Support - Activate multiple currency support to enter GL transactions in different currencies. The system maintains balances in the base currency and the foreign currency based on translation rules that you establish.
• Automatic Allocation of GL Balances - Distribute GL account balances over multiple accounts and sub-accounts based on predefined allocation rules. Establish allocation rules based on percentages, quantities, statistical data, or proportionally to other GL account balances. You can create and run multiple subsequent allocation templates.
• GL Accounts Budgeting and Budget Approval - Create an unlimited number of budget scenarios to maintain optimistic, pessimistic, and expected budgets. Establish access rights so teams can provide input into the budget process without viewing salaries or information from other subsidiaries. Once approved, budgets can be used for comparative analysis in financial statements and analysis reports as well as for monitoring expenditures.
• Drill Down to Original Documents - Utilize a complete set of inquiry screens and reports to gain immediate access to GL balances. Drill down to the originating document from any inquiry screen or report, even if the transaction was created in another module.
• Reversing and Auto-Reversing Entries - Reverse GL transactions with one button click. Create automatically reversing transactions that generate the reversing entry in the next financial period during the post procedure or when the financial period closes.
• Recurring Transactions - Create recurring transactions based on specific schedules and time periods. Specify templates with expiration dates, execution limits, and custom execution schedules.
• Audit Trails - The GL module provides a complete audit trail of all journal transactions. After a transaction is posted, you cannot delete or cancel the transaction - to correct mistakes, you must enter a correcting GL transaction to reverse the incorrect entry.

• Transaction Reason Codes - Acumatica allows you to assign reason codes to inventory transactions so you can measure trends and spot problems. Reason codes can be linked to both GL accounts and inventory levels for financial and operational reporting. Subaccounts can be assigned automatically depending upon the type of operation, the warehouse, or the person who enters the transaction.
• Two Step Transfers - Acumatica completes inventory transfers in two steps so you can track goods in transit between locations. The first step deducts inventory from the warehouse of origin and increases the Goods in Transit GL account. When goods are received the Goods in Transit GL account is reduced and the destination site quantity and value is increased.
• Inventory Allocation - Acumatica maintains detailed cost allocation information on all inventory related transactions. Allocation information is constantly updated for all transactions as well as anticipated receipts and issues. You can drill down the allocation details and navigate to the original documents that results the allocation.
• Physical Inventory - Using the physical inventory count features you can organize your goods based on ABC codes and movement classes and conduct regular cyclic count of your inventory. Items that are included in the count are locked in inventory and no operations that affect warehouse quantity are allowed.
