Term: A/P invoice
Component: SBO SAP Business One
Definition: An A/P invoice (Accounts Payable invoice) in SAP Business One is a document that records a vendor's bill for goods or services received. It represents the company's obligation to pay the vendor and is used to track and manage outstanding payables.
How It’s Used: In SAP Business One projects and daily operations, A/P invoices are created when a company receives an invoice from a supplier. This document triggers the recording of the liability in the system, updates vendor balances, and initiates payment processes. It is often linked to purchase orders and goods receipts to ensure accurate matching and control of expenses.
Important Configuration:
- Define vendors and their payment terms in the Business Partner Master Data
- Set up document numbering for A/P invoices under Administration > System Initialization > Document Numbering
- Configure posting periods and approval procedures for A/P invoices in Financials settings
- Use the A/P Invoice window (T-code: not applicable in SAP Business One, but accessible via the Purchasing module) to enter and manage invoices
