# Accounts Payable

The **Accounts Payable** feature enables Project Manager to post approved timesheet entries to the ERP system for supplier payments. This functionality is available from the **Project CRM** main menu or by right-clicking the **Project** icon in the left-hand navigation menu.

**Note:** Accounts Payable functionality requires **ACCPAC** to be installed and correctly configured. If ACCPAC is not available, an information screen is displayed when either the **Accounts Payable** or **Accounts Receivable** option is selected.

#### Posting to Accounts Payable

To post timesheet entries to Accounts Payable:

1. Open **Accounts Payable** from the **Project CRM** menu.
2. Select **Post to Accounts Payable**.
3. Review the list of timesheet entries displayed in the preview.

#### Accounts Payable Entry Details

The Accounts Payable preview displays the following information for each timesheet entry:

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th valign="top"></th><th valign="top"></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td valign="top">Field Name</td><td valign="top">Description</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Entry Date</td><td valign="top">The entry date of the timesheet</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Entry User</td><td valign="top">The user who entered the timesheet</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Project</td><td valign="top">The project associated with the timesheet</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Customer</td><td valign="top">The customer associated with the project.</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Task Name</td><td valign="top">The name of the task associated with the timesheet</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Billed</td><td valign="top">The timesheet billed amount</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Remaining</td><td valign="top">The amount of days remaining on the task.</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Status</td><td valign="top">The status of the task</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">AP Status</td><td valign="top">The Accounts Payable status on the timesheet</td></tr></tbody></table>

#### Generating AP Invoices

Selecting **Generate AP Invoices** automatically groups timesheet entries by their associated tasks, projects, and companies.

Project Manager then posts the grouped entries to the ERP system and creates the appropriate Accounts Payable invoice lines in the corresponding company database.

If a timesheet contains a **negative value**, Project Manager automatically recognizes it as a **Credit Note** and posts it to the appropriate area within Accounts Payable.

#### Posting Results

All Accounts Payable entries are posted to the ERP system in **real time**.

For each successfully posted entry:

* The posting results are displayed on the screen.
* The **AP Status** of the corresponding timesheet entry is automatically updated to **Posted**.

The generated **AP Batch Number** is displayed within Project Manager and corresponds to the matching batch created in ACCPAC. Users can open the batch within ACCPAC to review the posted transactions and invoice details.
