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 supplier 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 supplier invoice, or set it directly in the supplier information record.

Change a draft transaction to an Accounts Payable AP supplier invoice

  1. Go to PurchasingAllAutomated transactions.

    The Automated transactions list is also available in the Accounts Payable menu.

  2. Select View or Edit next to a transaction from the supplier that you want to change.
  3. Select Change to AP bill.
  4. If you also want all future transactions from this supplier to be created in Accounts Payable, select Always create transactions from this vendor as AP bills.

  5. Select OK.

    Sage Intacct changes the transaction to a draft AP supplier invoice, moves it to the AP supplier invoices list, and opens the AP supplier invoice in edit mode.

  6. Edit the AP supplier invoice, if needed.
  7. Post the AP supplier invoice or save it as a draft.

    Intacct returns you to the Automated transaction list, where you can continue reviewing PO purchase invoices.

If you selected Always create transactions from this vendor as AP AP supplier invoices, any new transactions for this are automatically added as draft AP supplier invoices on the AP supplier invoices list, rather than appearing on the Automated transactions list.
