Accounts Payable Manual
1. Accounts Payable
Suppliers Setup is used to enter and maintain all information relating to:
An organization from which you purchase goods or services;
A Client organization; i.e., another Adventist organization, with which you do business whose
account may fluctuate between a Credit and a Debit balance.
All Accounts Payable / Supplier accounts are linked to a Creditor / Client / Payables account in the General Ledger Chart of
Accounts.
When a new Accounts Payable account is created, use the Suppliers Setup (SUS) (below) function instead of the Chart of
Accounts Setup (CA) (Error: Reference source not found) function.
When you add a new Accounts Payable account, the associated General Ledger account is also created by entering all of
the Chart of Accounts details on the Supplier Setup screen. If the General Ledger account has already been created, you
can reference this Chart of Accounts Code from the Supplier Setup screen to display the ledger account details.
When an address is required, the Address Code should be created at the same time, using Addresses Setup (AS) (Error:
Reference source not found). In addition, multiple contacts can be defined using Contacts Setup (COS) (Error: Reference
source not found), and linked to the Accounts Payable account.
More than one Accounts Payable / Supplier can be linked to the same General Ledger account using the Remittance
Supplier Code. This is used for a multi-site Supplier, where the Supplier has a number of locations or sites, only one of
which is the central point to which remittances are sent.
Note: To print checks or other documents for these payments, include the payee's name as the source transaction
in the Description field.

Checks).
Using Report Manager, you can print the displayed remittance advices.
Option: SunPlus can generate / assign a unique transaction reference (i.e., check number) to each payment
document. This transaction reference provides an audit control. This facility is useful when printing
documents on pre-numbered stationery. It allows you to ensure the system assigns the correct number
to the payment transaction.
Note: The Payment Reference is only assigned to payment transactions when payment documents are
produced using Final Print setting in Document Format Parameters (see below). If a final print run
has not been performed for the payments, the payment reference will be blank even though the
payment transactions have been posted.
You must re-run Payments Documents (PYD) and select Final Print option to assign a reference.
