Automation of AP invoice entry

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello:

Currently invoices paid by PAP (pre-authorized payment straight from the bank account) for utilities, taxes, etc. are being entered into a spread sheet and then expense details are loaded into GP via Integration Manager direct to the General Ledger.  We have two main challenges in this regard:

1.  We are looking for a way to upload this information from Excel into Purchasing (and not just the General Ledger) so that these invoice details show up in Accounts Payable detailed reports.  In effect, we are looking for an automated way to enter all of the various invoices for utilities, taxes, etc.  Will Integration Manager work for this?  The volume approaches over a thousand invoices a month as there are multiple accounts for multiple properties.

2.  We would then need to have a way to show these invoices as paid in Accounts Payable even though we are paying via PAP and not by cheque or EFT.  Do we need to do a "dummy" cheque run in A/P or are there other options?

Currently we are on GP 2013, but we will be upgrading to 2015 R2 in the next few months.

 I welcome any feedback you may be able to provide. 

Thanks.

Patrick

    hi,

    as Roger noted, you can use IM to import payables transactions. You can import them as paid, but that does create a payables payment transaction that will impact your checkbook or create a credit card payable. I do not think you can just mark it as paid without generating some kind of transaction. how do you keep up with your checkbook balance if you do not enter the payment through PM?

    Hi Patrick.  Yes, you can upload AP into GP.   I know with eConnect you can note that the invoices have been paid already so you don't have to do anything else...not sure of the exact details off the top of my head for using IM to do so (we migrated away from IM a while back).  In eConnect the options are to designate the payment as Cash, Check or Credit Card payment....Cash and Check payment numbers are available so you could use your own numbering system if you wanted to...looks like that field allows 20 characters.
