The Vendor Invoices page is used to record invoices that you receive from vendors requesting payment from the school district. An invoice must be entered before payment can be recorded.
When you click Create Invoice, you will have the option to link the invoice to an issued purchase order (PO). When a PO is selected, data will automatically be copied over to the invoice. If no PO exists, you can just fill in the required information.
To create an invoice:
- Go to Financials Main > Accounts Payable > Vendor Invoices > Create Invoice
- Or go to Financials Main > Accounts Payable > Purchase Orders, click the down arrow next to an Issued PO, and Create Invoice
- Select a Purchase Order if applicable or enter the required details
- The fields are mostly identical to those found when creating a PO
- Choose the Status “Ready for Payment” if it is indeed so
- Select a Liability Account to indicate which fund should be credited when the invoice is moved out of draft status and debited when the payment is made.
- Select or add Payment Terms and a Due Date. Read more about payment terms.
- Save
After the invoice has been created and has the status “Ready for Payment,” you can continue to make payments.
