Holly asked us this question - anyone have any input here on how to do this better? Please advise!
 
"Currently we have a very round about way of prepaying vendors for purchase order inventory. First we enter a voucher through AP-B. Next we issue payment through the normal process [AP-F (pick), AP-G (prof ck reg), AP-H (print)]. Once the parts are received & added to the RNI report. We will enter a PO invoice through AP-C to remove the parts from the RNI & then enter a reverse voucher through AP-B to remove the amount from the AP aging (since it has already been paid).
 
Aside from this being quite a few steps, it does not show prepayments in the same way that the Accounts Receivable module does (AR-N). We have nothing other than manual notes to make sure a vendor does not double-charge us. As well, we temporarily end up with a bunch of items on the RNI that could be removed immediately if we had a counterpart in the AP module like AR deposits. In other words a way to keep track of & apply AP deposits in EVO. Is there such a thing & we have not noticed it yet?
 
I did see a COD option in AP-C, but when I ran through it in the test company, it still advised me that there was no receivers for the PO (kind of defeats the purpose). Maybe we are not doing it correctly???"
 
TIA,

Thanks, I will pass it along. Any documentation for AP-V?  I don't see anything in the web help. I know they will ask me about it.
 
Kind regards,

I am using DBA Classic.  I don't have a AP-V option.  Don't normally have to prepaid suppliers.  But that has recently happened.  Do I need to set up something in AM-C  first to access the Enter AP deposit module?  Or is there a setting in the SD-Q that needs to change?
