PM maximizes operational efficiency by empowering employees with advanced search capabilities that provide quick and easy access to the information they need. This module also simplifies expense allocation like deferring payments or costs over multiple periods with automatically managed calculations and journal entries customized to fit your business needs.

Features:

? Extensive Drill-Down ? Cross-module drill-down capabilities give you the ability to locate the exact details you need.

? Comprehensive Vendor Information ? Streamline your vendor information with vendor categories for consistent record maintenance and comprehensive data, including addresses, shipping methods, default purchase accounts, and user-defined information.

? Installment Management ? Automate your vendor installment payments by creating schedules, calculating interest, amortizing amounts, and forecasting the impact of variable interest rates, payment amounts, and installment changes.

? Expenditure Control ? Manage expenditures with full control over check runs and tracking of after-the-fact payments that use manual check entries, credit cards, or cash for transactions.

? Control Account Management ? Manage your payables control accounts by reporting segments, such as cost center, division, department, program or fund, and display a breakdown by segment values of your central control payables account. Eliminate the need to manually reconcile reporting segments and get a true account of amounts owing by segment value.

? Automatic Posting - Automate posting for each vendor to designated General Ledger accounts for recurring transactions, or streamline distribution for vendors without specified purchase accounts.

? Complete Payables Reporting ? Create a comprehensive suite of payable reports that can be sorted by calendar or fiscal year with on-screen display and search, or combine with Microsoft® Business Solutions?Great Plains® applications such as Report Writer or Crystal Reports® for greater reporting flexibility.
