About A/P Specials

Specials let you add explanatory messages to convey information about a particular vendor account or an invoice. By using the vendor A/P special, you can provide your employees with special instructions about a vendor when they are posting invoices. For example, if your accounts payable department has any questions about an invoice, you can include a contact name and number from the vendor's accounts payable department. This eliminates the time it takes to research this information.

An invoice A/P special is also a helpful communications tool. For example, you can include information on the invoice that would notify the accounts payable department not to pay an invoice until all items are received.
