- Purchasing, Receiving, and Accounts Payable are fully online and operational.
- You are entering PO numbers and manifest numbers consistently in both Receiving and Accounts Payable.

Option 2 includes all transactions according to your previous selection criteria. Although individual receipts do not always match the related invoice and payments, you can analyze the totals in each category.
- Use option 2 for purchase order number reconciliation. This option assumes that you enter the six-digit purchase order number into the A/P system when vouchering direct ship billing from your suppliers.
- Option 3 keys a Manifest# into the Manifest# field of the Receipts & Accounts Payable programs.
- Complete the fields as required. Leave any, or all, categories blank to include all of that category. For example, if you leave categories 1- 6 blank, the report lists everything in the Accounts Payable and Receipt files.
- When entering a Vendor / Supplier, you must enter V for a vendor, S for a supplier or M for a miscellaneous vendor. For example, the entry S AOT is for supplier American Olean, and M 001430 is for miscellaneous vendor number 1430.
