Application Interfaces

The combination of Accounts Payable and other APPX accounting applications, such as Accounts Receivable, General Ledger, Purchase Orders, and Commission Accounting, provides a fully integrated system for effective management and control of your business. There are many separate applications that can be installed, in whatever configuration best suits your requirements. Components of each application contribute to the overall effectiveness of the system. The particular combination which is most effective for your installation, as well as the specific way in which the applications interact, will be determined by the specialized needs of your company.

Information contained in the master files of one application may be accessed, modified, updated, or even entered from another application. This eliminates the need for duplication in entering and storing information, thereby saving valuable computer storage space and increasing accuracy.

Accounts Payable may be installed as a stand-alone application, or as part of a system that includes General Ledger, Budget Analysis, General Subsidiary, Accounts Receivable, Inventory Control, Purchase Orders, Order Entry, Commission Accounting, and Sales Analysis. In a multi-application system, data can be exchanged between applications.

Depending on system configuration, Accounts Payable receives postings from the following applications:

Accounts Receivable

• Customer Refunds

Commission Accounting

• Commission Transfers

Purchase Orders

• Prepayments
• Invoices

Although Accounts Payable receives customer refund information from Accounts Receivable and commission data from Commission Accounting, its presence is not required for operation of those applications. Operation of Purchase Orders, on the other hand, does require Accounts Payable. Information from Accounts Payables can be sent to General Ledger and Inventory Control. However, neither of these applications is necessary for the functioning of Accounts Payable. If General Ledger is not installed, account verification will not be performed within Accounts Payable.
