Windward's OPE Edition | Accounts
Payable
Entering Accounts
Payable bills is easy. Normally, when you receive inventory, the total
amount of the purchase is posted to just one ledger number, account 1200
in this example. This is because the inventory being received is detailed
on the Add Stock entry in the purchase order section so there is no need
to duplicate this information.
If you purchase a lot of inventory at one time and negotiate the option
to pay it in installments such as 3 equal payments, Windward will track
those distributed due dates and remind you when you need to pay the bill
and how much to pay.
If you are in Canada, Australia or other country dealing with the GST
or VAT taxes, you can enter your input tax credits on the bill. These
are the taxes that you pay, but can get back from the government. The
system will warn you if you forget to enter the tax.
While creating a bill, you can link it to the original purchase order
to ensure the prices are as you agreed and that you have received the
goods. There is not profit in paying for items you have not received.
