Purchase Ledger
The Purchase Ledger is used to keep track of what the organisation owes to suppliers. It
is integrated into the Purchase Ordering and Stock Receipt system, where many of its
postings may arise. Using this approach we eliminate the time consuming, old fashioned,
outdated and inaccurate approach of a accruing for invoices not yet received from suppliers.
Naturally, expenses where no PO can be given may also be booked directly to the ledger
This approach is used for services where usage is metered. The system also caters for
Direct Debit invoices such as mobile phone bills, in order that the posting and payment
are achieved in one operation.
Payments may be made on an “as required” basis or may be done on a more considered
“Automatic Payments” run. In the latter case, the prepared list may be manipulated before
being posted “en bloc”. Remittance Advices may be printed in hard copy runs or electronic
versions mailed.
As with sales ledger, there is also a supplier extranet, which may be provided for the
smooth operation of the supplier relationship.
