Getting started with Accounts Payable: Auditors

Auditors have access to view and export all AP components. They can view and export bills, POs, credit notes, reports, transactions, and ledgers. 

This guide is divided into below sections (recommended to go through it in this flow):


Purchase Requests/Order

Auditors have access to create PRs/POs. PR and PO tabs are present within the Payables section.

By clicking the "Add New" button the PRs and POs can be created. Here's an example of how to create PR, in a similar way POs can be created too.

Custom Fields

Custom fields can be used to add any details about the bill or the PQ, such as brand information or the requesting department. Auditors can view custom field details on the table views and line item level.

Credit notes

Auditors can view vendor-generated credit notes tagged to the bill so that the correct payable amount is reflected in the system and payment is made accordingly.

Once a vendor is selected while creating credit notes, all the associated bills are fetched and displayed.

If this feature is not available by default, please contact your Peakflo partner. Learn more how to create credit notes and link to bills.

If the Peakflo account is integrated with an accounting system, credit notes created in Peakflo will be synced to your accounting system within minutes!

Reports

Following are the reports in the Payables module: 

  • Change log report. This report highlights any changes done to the vendor/bill/PO details. It captures the fields changed along with the owner of the changes. Peakflo also shares an end-of-day email notifying users about the latest 5 changes made. This is to ensure that transparency is maintained along with the full audit log.

  • Aging payables report: Admins have access to view and export the aging payables report. An accounts payable aging report is a critical accounting document that summarises the bills and invoices owed by a business, broken down by vendor and due date. Aging involves categorizing your company’s unpaid customer invoices and credit memos by date range. The report can be seen in a 15 days or 30 days period past the due date.

If you have a presence in multiple countries, we will show a summary of pending payables per vendor and per currency.

Accounting 

This page contains all details associated with transactions and the ledger. All wallet transactions are detailed here: deposit, payout, top-up, payment, and transfer. 

Transactions also go through the approval policies tagged to them. Admins can also export transaction and ledger tables. Transactions can be synced to your accounting system if there is an integration. 

Transactions should typically be reviewed by the company's accountant before they are approved for synchronization. These transactions are akin to your bank transactions which will be reconciled in your accounting software with the corresponding account transactions, automatically by Peakflo.
