4. GAAP Related to A/P: Matching Principle In the next few slides, review GAAP principles you have already learned and study new ones that apply to Accounts Payable. Click and study the first principle and example below it. Click to continue. Matching Principle Expenses are matched with revenues in the period when efforts are made to generate the revenue.Example An accounting consultant, Faye Anderson, bought $600.00 worth of paper and printing supplies in December. She collected $2,800.00 consulting fees from her clients that month. Faye entered $600.00 for paper and printing supplies as prepaid asset. At the end of the month, she calculated that she used up $285.00 worth of the supplies she purchased earlier. When Faye prepares her monthly financial statement for December, she should report the $2,800.00 revenue and her expenses to earn the revenue, including $285.00 (not $600.00) for supplies.

5. GAAP Related to A/P: Objective Evidence Principle Click and review the principle and example. Click to continue. Objective Evidence Principle Each transaction is described by a business document that proves the transaction did occur. Example A business transaction should be recorded only if it actually occurred. The amounts recorded must be accurate and true. One way to check the accuracy of specific accounting information is to look at the source documents, such as: Sales invoices for goods/services sold. Cheques for payments received. Deposit slips for funds deposited in the bank. Memos and other supporting forms.

6. GAAP Related to A/P: Unit of Measurement Concept Click and study the concept and example. Click to continue. Unit of Measurement Concept All business transactions are recorded in a common unit of measurement – the dollar. Example In order to be clear, business transactions must be recorded in a consistent manner using dollar values. Count of items, such as 100 units or 1 dozen, is not a good unit of measurement.

7. Cost Principle All assets purchased must be recorded in the company accounting records at their purchase price (historical cost). GAAP Related to A/P: Cost Principle Click and study the principle, then read the example below. Click to continue. A computer bought for $3,000 is recorded as an asset at the time of purchase. If the value of that same computer decreased in price to $2,500 shortly after purchasing it, the value in the accounting records remains the same. Any change in the market value of the asset does not get reflected in the accounting records. This principle is followed even when the value of the asset increases. Example:

8. Processing Vendor Invoices When goods you ordered are delivered, the vendor sends you an invoice.Click. On the back of the invoice, you would stamp the date when the invoice was received.Click. After inspecting the goods and before the invoice is entered into the A/P system, the invoice is matched with the original purchase order to ensure that the goods received were as ordered and the price is as quoted. The invoice would then be approved with the date and account number to which the shipment should be recorded.Click. Now there are three dates. Question: Which date should you use as the transaction date? Click to find the answer. Click to continue. Received 04/08/2010 back

9. Processing Vendor Invoices (continued) CCSL, our sample company, receives invoices from vendors for purchases on credit. The invoices are batched and entered on Thursday of every week.Click. Each vendor invoice is a separate entry in a batch. Study the DOCUMENT page of the A/P invoice entry as it relates to the vendor invoice. Click the other tabs from left to right starting from TAXES. When finished, click to continue. The Distribute option for Tax Amount instructs ACCPAC to automatically distribute the Tax Amount that you enter on the detail line to GST PAID ON PURCHASES. Calculate instructs ACCPAC to calculate the taxable amount of the invoice based on the detail lines entered on the DOCUMENT page. The information on this page is automatically entered by ACCPAC according to previous setup entries. For example, TERMS was automatically taken from the particular vendor’s record (see right). ACCPAC calculated DUE DATE, DISC. DATE and DISC. AMOUNT according to the date of the invoice and the terms. The information on this page is automatically entered by ACCPAC based on the previous pages. Make sure the OUT OF BALANCE amount is zero and DOCUMENT TOTAL is correct. Discount available is shown, but will be taken out of the invoice total only when paid within the Discount Period.

10. Processing Vendor Invoices (continued) Invoices with GST and PST The invoice in the previous slide has only GST because it is for a purchase of merchandise for sale. Purchases of supplies for the company’s use and NOT for resale are subject to both GST and PST. GST is recoverable, but not PST. PST is added to the amount of the expense, becoming part of the cost. ACCPAC automatically distribute the amount of PST to the same account as the amount of the purchase. Click and study a sample of the invoice entry for a purchase with both GST and PST. Study the DOCUMENT page, then advance to the other tabs, as usual. When finished, click to continue. PST is allocated after you have entered it in the TAXES page. GSTPST is the code you entered for TAX GROUP that is subject to both GST and PST when you set up Tax services earlier (see right). Undistributed Amount and Out of Balance amount must be zero.

11. Processing Vendor Invoices (continued) Invoices with Taxes Included Most commercial invoices show the amount of taxes separately from the amount of the purchase. However, occasionally invoices may have taxes included in the total amount. ACCPAC can automatically calculate what to record in the tax accounts and the purchase accounts. Study the invoice at the right. Click and study a sample of the invoice entry for an invoice with GST included. Study the DOCUMENT page, then advance to the other tabs, as usual. Your text will give you step-by- step instructions. When finished, click to continue. Included Tax is filled in after you have completed the TAX page and the Account/Tax window. Yes must be selected using the Account/Tax button so tax included amount is correctly calculated in the Taxes page. Calculate (instead of the usual Distribute option) must be selected for Tax Amount. ACCPAC automatically calculates Tax Amount. Due Date and Disc. Date are calculated according to the Terms and Document Date.

12. Processing Vendor Invoices (continued) Using Distribution Set on an Invoice When you set up the A/P Module earlier, you defined the Distribution Set ADVERT. Remember that distribution sets are used to distribute an invoice to two or more Distribution Codes. Using ADVERT on an invoice will instruct ACCPAC to use the Distribution Codes ADPROD and ADSERV.Click. Study the invoice at the top right. Notice the special note that $500 should be charged to the Service Department and $1,500 to the Product Department. Click and study the DOCUMENT page of the invoice entry then click on the other tabs from left to right. Your text will give you step-by- step instructions. When finished, click to continue.

13. Processing Credit Notes and Debit Notes Study the difference between a credit note and a debit note.Click. Debit and credit notes are recorded in an Invoice Batch similar to a regular invoice. Credit Note or Debit Note is selected as the Document Type on the Document Page. Click and study the Credit Note on the top right and the DOCUMENT page of the invoice entry. Study the invoice at the top right. Notice that GST is included. Click on the other tabs from left to right. Your text will give you step-by- step instructions. When finished, click to continue. Difference Between a Credit and a Debit Note Credit Note: A document received by the company from a vendor which in effect decreases the amount of the vendor invoice which therefore decreases the company’s Accounts Payable (e.g., purchase return). It is called a credit note because it decreases the vendor’s Accounts Receivable (a credit in the vendor’s accounting records). Debit Note: A document received by the company from a vendor which in effect increases the amount of the vendor invoice which therefore increases the company’s Accounts Payable (e.g., additional charges on goods purchased). It is called a debit note because it increases the vendor’s Accounts Receivable (a debit in the vendor’s accounting records). Calculate is selected for Tax Amount and Tax base; Tax Included is set to Yes. Original Invoice

14. Processing Credit Notes and Debit Notes Study the Debit Note on the top right and the DOCUMENT page of the corresponding invoice entry. Study the invoice at the top right. Notice that only GST is charged separately from the subtotal. Click on the other tabs from left to right. Your text will give you step-by- step instructions. When finished, click to continue. Original invoice Distribute is selected for Tax Amount and Calculate for Tax Base. Tax Included is set to No.

15. Processing Adjustments After an invoice has been posted. You may find that a mistake has been made and a correction is required. Click and study the common mistakes that can be easily corrected by making adjustments. If you have posted a transaction to the wrong vendor or you have selected the wrong document type, you can enter an adjustment making the original invoice amount to zero. You can then make the correct entry to the proper vendor or select the proper document type. An incorrect document date or an incorrect purchase terms cannot be fixed using an adjustment. The A/P Control Payments window, which you will study in the next slideshow, may be used to change the due date, the discount date or the discount amount. When finished, click to continue. Common mistakes corrected with adjustments: Incorrect amount. Incorrect taxes. Incorrect coding or distribution.

16. Processing Adjustments (continued) Adjustments may be done in either of two windows: A/P Adjustments window. A/P Payments window. You can use the A/P Payments window during the application of a payment to an invoice. You will now learn how to use the A/P Adjustment window. Click and study the memorandum and the original invoice to which it refers. Click again to see the adjustment entry to make the correction. Review the required adjustment again. PROD is entered in the Adjustment Entry for Distribution Code (see how you defined it earlier). This redistributes AMOUNT to two G/L accounts instead of one. Click to continue.

17. Recurring Payables A payment made on a regular basis; e.g., rent, equipment leases, etc., can be recorded as a Recurring Payable. First, you need to set up a Recurring Payable Code. You can then create a Recurring Payables Batch to process the payment when due. Using the Recurring Payable Code in the Recurring Payables Batch saves you entry time and avoid errors. Our example is a Recurring Payable for monthly rent of $800. Click and study the INVOICE page of the A/P Recurring Payables Code window. Click the other two tabs starting from DETAIL You can then use the RENT code whenever you pay rent. Click to continue. You need to specify the vendor. You have set up earlier in Common Services (see right). Specify the monthly payment amount. Rent is subject to GST.

18. Recurring Payables (continued) Whenever rent is due, you can create a Recurring Payables batch using the A/P Periodic Processing desktop. The only thing you need to change from month to month is the Run Date. Because you have used the MONTH1ST code, this procedure will work properly only if you set the Run Date to the first of the month. Click to continue.
