What is covered
What Sage 300 AP does for your business
Accounts Payable in Sage 300 centralizes your entire vendor payment process. Vendor records store contact details, payment terms, default GL accounts, and tax information. When invoices arrive, they are entered against the vendor record, matched to purchase orders if applicable, and routed through any approval steps you have configured.
Payment processing covers manual cheques, system-generated cheques, and EFT transfers. Sage 300 produces the EFT file for your bank directly, and remittance advices can be sent to vendors by email automatically when payment is issued. This reduces the manual effort of a traditional cheque run significantly.
Vendor aging reports give finance teams a clear picture of what is owed, what is due, and what is overdue. Cash flow forecasting based on upcoming payables is available to help treasury planning. All transactions post to the General Ledger automatically at the account codes configured for each vendor or expense type.
For businesses in BC that work with US suppliers or import goods, the multi-currency capabilities in Sage 300 AP handle foreign currency invoices and payments without manual conversion calculations. Exchange gains and losses are tracked and posted accurately to the GL.
