Accounts payable is how a business processes purchase invoices and payments in the accounting cycle. You may choose to pay bills as soon as they land, but it’s more likely you'll have a number of bills to pay at different times. Your accounts payable process is how you organise and account for that activity.
Sage accounts payable software helps businesses streamline their accounts payable processes through invoice automation, payment remittance, tax calculation and supplier management – for small business accounts payable and receivable.
When a business buys goods or services on credit (rather than cash) it will credit accounts payable and the credit balance will increase. When a business pays one of its suppliers the amount included in accounts payable, the company should debit accounts payable meaning the credit balance is decreased.
Accounts payable is a short-term credit mechanism used by a business to pay a supplier for products and services. Payment terms differ, typically across 30 or 90 days. The payable amount goes into default if a business does not pay within the terms agreed, and is listed on a company's balance sheet. Accounts payable is a liability since it's money owed to creditors and is listed under current liabilities.
With Accounting, Sage users can get access to a number of helpful tools to meet all of their accounts payable requirements.
Purchase Automation is the newest AI-based tool which automatically extracts purchase invoice details and creates a pre-populated draft for you to approve. Our AI correctly identifies the supplier, amount, dates, and line items, taking the manual work out of completing your account payable tasks. Save on time and prevent mistakes as duplicate invoices are detected and flagged automatically - helping you stay on top of your bills.
AutoEntry features also allow you to stay on top of your accounts payable as an additional add-on app. Generate, upload, and populate invoices and documentation, without the need for manual paperwork. Instantly capture information for:
