Chapter 6 – Creditor Maintenance

Differences between AP Invoice Entry and Purchase Invoice Entry

A/P Invoice Entry is different from Purchase Invoice, although both are used to record transactions with creditors.

A/P Invoice Entry is primarily used when you are not using invoicing system.

You are not allowed to edit an A/P Invoice Entry unless you check the checkbox for allowing editing of A/P Invoice Entries posted from other sources in the Options.

To create a A/P Invoice Entry, go to A/P > A/P Invoice Entry > Click New to create a Goods Return.
