Move an automated transaction to Accounts Payable
Instead of matching a draft PO purchase invoice to a source purchasing transaction, you can change the PO purchase invoice to an AP purchase invoice. Moving a transaction to Accounts Payable is useful for PO purchase invoices that might never be part of the Purchasing workflow, such as those from utility companies.
You can change transactions as part of the process of editing drafts, or set an option that tells Sage Intacct to always create incoming transactions from a given supplier in Accounts Payable. Turn on this option at the same time that you change the transaction to AP AP purchase invoice, or set it directly in the supplier information record.
