Accounts payable are commitments represented by the purchase of goods, services, salaries, taxes, leasing, loans, contributions, machinery, inputs for production, and more.
The Accounts Payable routine of the Microsiga Protheus system controls all documents, also called bills, that the company pays and which can be: trade notes, checks, promissory notes, prepayments, advance payments, invoices, etc. The data registered contribute to decision making on all company commitments that involve the disbursement of resources, being also attributed to the following criteria:
Note
The types of bills identify the amount pertaining to a determined income or expense. You must define them in table 05 (Bill Types) of the Configurator module or in the Bill Types routine.
You can add a bill to the portfolio payable manually (by personally typing bills) or automatically (from incoming invoices, provided that the Purchases and/or Stock and Costs modules are integrated with the Financial module).
Note
To automatically generate the bill, the Purchases and/or Stock and Costs modules must be deployed and integrated, because the process depends on the receipt of incoming documents and purchase orders.
The Accounts Payable register is prepared as follows:
Incoming invoice created in the Stock and Costs module | Bills generated in Accounts Payable |
101010 (R$ 6,000) in 6 installments of 1,000 | 101010 A - 1,000 |
To configure installments alphabetically, set the content of parameter MV_1DUP to the letter A. Yet, to divide installments numerically, select option 1.
Grouping the bills by nature generates results in a structured and organized manner (reports), which is a powerful management tool.
Use the breakdown option to generate multiple bills from a single bill, all with the same value (installment) or the value divided by the number of installments (total).
Invoicing, when integrated, generates bills payable through the Commission Update routine. These bills are displayed by default with option COM. Set parameter MV_3DUPREF to define their prefix.
The system tracks the suppliers history details like maximum balance, average and maximum arrears and control of balances payable as value due, overdue and others.
When paying bills, the system offers company X bank features, such as automatic payments and printing checks. You can post bills payable either manually or automatically, by unit or by batches received from banks.
You can control bills regarded for cash flow purposes, because when you add accounts payable, the system updates this flow and makes accounting entries through parameter settings and standardized entries.
