Entering Accounts Payable And Payroll EFT Payments

The EFT Acc/Pay Cheques section of Agrimaster is the accounts payable system for recording and managing how much is owed to creditors (suppliers), to whom and when the payments are due to be paid.

The accounts payable process is known as creditors and creditor control.

 The EFT Acc/Pay Cheques section of Agrimaster allows you to:

• Enter all tax invoices (creditors/suppliers) due. 
  Please Note: These can be entered up to a 12 month period in advance from the current reconciled month.
• Pay credit notes generated and due from Enhanced Invoicing.
• Enter manually or import payroll payments (imported from a source such as Wagemaster).
• Make full or part-payments and amalgamate payments, if you use the EFT option. To setup, the EFT payments feature, click here.
• Create reports such as:
  • How much is owing for a specific time-frame or the overall accounts payable total owed?
  • How much is owed to each person/company, or for everyone listed individually?

One of the many uses of accounts payable is entering in the purchases of chemicals or fertiliser and make payments on these accounts payable over several months.
