    Hi Hemantharun,

    Some useful notes in accounts payable for you. See the attachment.

    Accounts payable process:

    What is accounts payable?

    Accounts payable is the amount due from the company to the supplier for the purchase of the goods or services by the company from the supplier.

    How many parties are involved in this?

    Purchaser and Supplier

    What is a purchase agreement?

    A purchase agreement is a contract between the purchaser and the supplier for the purchase of the goods or services during a particular period for a specified quantity at a specified price.

    What is three-way matching in accounts payable?

    When an invoice is received by the purchaser, the accounting department has to book the invoice into their book of accounts. The accounting department has to confirm and match that the goods have been received from the supplier and the quantity and rate of the goods mentioned in the invoice are matching with the rates mentioned in the purchase order.

    So, three-way matching involves comparing the goods received note, invoice, and purchase order.

    How is the payment made to the supplier?

    The payment needs to be made to the supplier as per the payment agreement between the purchaser and supplier. If there is a cash discount and trade discount offered by the supplier and the payment term days like 30 days or 60 days. This needs to be checked before making the payment.

    Auditing of the payment to the supplier:

    The auditing of the invoices is the most important task in the accounts payable process to ensure that the payment is being made to the correct supplier. Match the supplier address and other details mentioned in the invoice with purchase order details and also with the invoice booked in the system by the accounting department. This is also done to avoid duplicate payment to the same supplier.

    Thanks,

  • The person who has asked these questions does not have much experience in AP and has some knowledge in AR. These questions belong to AR and not AP.

    Question 8 - should be from the Vendor (seller) point of view and not the customer. For AP, we are the customers dealing with vendors.

    Question 9 - Is simply the AR job.

    Question 1 - Nowhere related to AP.
