A better <a href=\"https:\/\/www.velan-bookkeeping.com\/blog\/what-do-you-gain-from-outsourcing-your-procure-to-pay-processes\/\">Procure to Pay process<\/a> will not only benefit your working capital, cash flow, and vendor relationships but go the extra mile help you to <strong>identify areas of savings and compliance<\/strong>. If you\u2019re looking to strengthen your bottom line performance, what better way than to improve liquidity?<\/p>\n<h2><strong>15 Best Practices to Improve Accounts Payable Efficiency<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">So read on, as we enlist 15 best practices to <strong>improve accounts payable efficiency<\/strong> (in no particular order), keeping in mind the organizations where the AP function primarily relies on paperwork submissions. We know some companies have already adopted EDI and we&#8217;re going to keep this as generic as possible.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Defined Roles and Responsibilities:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Assign access rights, or assign specific employees the capacity to add\/delete\/modify vendors in the vendor master files. Especially in systems that lack the ability to print changes made to the files, this practice can be pivotal in avoiding theft.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Use default settings to your advantage:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It is recommended that you default the AP master file configuration to a Vendor Type used most frequently. If your system allows for multiple vendor categories, set access rights in a way that users only above a certain security level are allowed to change the GL code.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Avoid batch entries:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Entering each invoice individually, allows for a separate audit trail and that would greatly help in keeping track.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Check the Invoice Dates:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Do not let your AP clerks use older invoice dates. Try and understand how your system assigns GL month\/year as well. When you generate reports on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.velan-bookkeeping.com\/services-financial-reporting\">financial reports<\/a> for a time period, correct dates will alleviate unexpected results.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Review and reconcile:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Compare charges to purchase orders while paying out and perform a monthly reconciliation.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Automation is better: <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Manual processes such as expense reporting, data entry should be automated for better utilization of your accounting resources. This will also minimize risks and errors.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Try an ERP system:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Most of the auditor\u2019s time is consumed in reviewing manual postings owing to an elevated risk factor. This can be eased with the help of an ERP system.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Always compare with original:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It is advisable to try and pay against the original invoice but if paying from a copy, compare the invoice number and charges indicated.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Verify W-9:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In the year\u2019s end when you organize 1099s, you don\u2019t want to be stuck in a rut. Before initiating payment, verify the vendor has a W-9 file for them.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Invoice number rules: <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If all your clerks starting entering invoice numbers in the format they please, you\u2019ll be lost for eons; especially if you don\u2019t have an invoice number in hand. Instead, have a policy and educate your clerks on how to enter invoice numbers.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Accountability: <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Assign and authorize separate people for entering the invoice, approving the invoice and signing the check.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Logging is key: <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>All invoices should compulsorily be addressed to the Accounts Department \u2013 this way they can be logged.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Define Budget:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It is safer to know your AP team know what the declared budget is, if you are among those who run a lot of cash transactions.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Audit trail is imperative:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Even if you don\u2019t plan on paying the entire invoice amount, it would help the audit trail to mark it as billed. At these instances, use credit memos.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Free is good:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Discounts and free goods being offered by your vendors is something that could greatly help your accounts. Watch out for these festive promotions and make the best use of them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Go the extra mile with these best practices, and watch your AP process go above and beyond maintaining operating margins. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.velan-bookkeeping.com\/about\">Velan<\/a>\u00a0is a trusted and seasoned <a href=\"https:\/\/www.velan-bookkeeping.com\/services-accounts-payable\">Accounts Payable services providers<\/a>.
