Introduction Purpose In this manual you will learn all about the ins and outs of Accounts Payable in Command Retail. Correspondingly, this manual will provide detailed information on each Accounts Payable application and guide you through all the different processes and functions associated with those applications. This encompasses creating, viewing, editing and matching payables and invoices, keeping track of payments, as well the principles and functions associated with Check Writing, Check Register and Customer Reimbursement Checks. Accounts Payable Overview Accounts payable is the amount owed for the purchase of goods or services at a specific date. When an invoice is received, approved for payment, and entered into the system, the invoice will get recorded in the General Ledger as an outstanding or open liability because it has not been paid. Payables can be classified under two main categories: Trade Payables and Expense Payables. Trade Payables are defined as payables for the purchase of physical goods that are recorded in Inventory. Expense Payables are defined as payables for the purchase of goods or services that are expensed. Common examples of Expense Payables are travel, office supplies, electric, utilities, etc. A/P is a form of credit that suppliers offer to their customers by allowing them to pay for a product or service after it has already been received. Suppliers offer various payment terms for an invoice. Payment terms may include the offer of a cash discount for paying an invoice within a defined number of days. Commonly, a supplier will ship a product, issue an invoice, and collect payment later, which is referred to as a Cash Conversion Cycle; a period of time during which the supplier has already paid for the merchandise but hasn't been paid in return by the final customer. Correspondingly, Command Retail allows you to perform Three-Way Matching, so when an invoice is received by the purchaser it can be matched to the packing slip and purchase order.

Enter Payable Navigational Path Accounts Payable > Enter Payable Enter Payable Screen Screen Details The Enter Payable Screen is where you can enter Expense Payables into the system, such as for an electric bill, phone bill, misc. expense, etc. This screen typically isn t used for entering new Trade Payables into the system, because you re only able to enter the total amount of the payable itself and not the actual merchandise that you receive from the vendor. Correspondingly, a Trade Payable automatically gets created when you receive on a PO, and you can view and edit both Expense and Trade Payables in the View Payables Screen. The Enter Payables Screen is divided into 3 sections: General Info, Remit To, and Totals. In addition, there is a separate section on the bottom of the screen which contains 6 tabs, including: Payments, Comments/Miscellaneous, Split, Receiving Log, Payable Terms and Prepay.

Buttons Save This button will save the payable in the system. Accounts Payable User Manual View Merch If you click this button when you re viewing a payable that was created from a PO that was received, this will bring up the Payable Merchandise Screen which will allow you to view and edit the merchandise on that payable. Phone Book If you click this button, this will bring up the Contact List Screen which will allow you to search for, create and edit contacts in the system that you want to add to the payable. Recurring If you click this button when you are editing a payable that s already saved in the system, this will bring up the Payable Recurring Detail Screen which will allow you to setup the recurring payable and save it in the system. Cancel If you click this button, this will cancel and close the Enter Payable Screen. APUM 03/12 CONFIDENTIAL PROPERTY OF CELERANT TECHNOLOGY Page 5

General Info The General Info section is where you select and enter the general information associated with the payable. Date If you receive on a PO and a payable is generated, the date will be defaulted to the date the payable was received. If you re entering a new payable, the date will be defaulted to whatever the current date is. A lot of clients prefer to change the date to the date the vendor stated on the invoice so the due date is calculated based off that date instead of the date the payable was received or entered into the system. Date Due The Date Due is automatically set to the date the payable is entered into the system. In order to change the Date Due to a later date, you have to enter a Net # of days in the second Net field under the Remit To section and the Date Due will be calculated based off of that number. In other words, if the date is 1/1/12 and you enter 30 for the Net days, then the system will automatically change the Date Due to 1/30/12. Discount Date Due The Discount Date Due is the cutoff date for the Terms discount that will be applied to the payable and is based upon the value you enter in the first Net field under the Remit To section. Invoice Due Date The Invoice Due Date is pulled from the Invoice List if and when the Invoice is matched to the Payable. Trade Date The Trade Date is an informational date that the user can reference when writing checks. The Trade Date does not affect how the payables are selected during the check writing process, but does display if the user views the invoices. Invoice # Enter the Invoice # that the payable is associated with. The Invoice # is the number on the invoice associated with the vendor that you re going to be paying. Alt Inv # The Alternate Invoice # applies to clients that order merchandise from a vendor that s part of a Buyer s Group. If you place an order to a vendor, the vendor will issue an invoice to the Buyer s Group and the Buyer s Group will issue an invoice to you. Correspondingly, the vendor will have an invoice # and the Buyer s Group will have an invoice # which may not be the same. Therefore, since the Buyer s Group is the one who issued the invoice to you, the Buyer s Group invoice # will be Invoice # since that is who you ll be paying and the vendor s invoice # with Alt Inv. #. Brand If you receive on a PO that has a brand defined on the entire order and a Payable is generated, that brand will automatically be selected when you view that PO. If you manually enter a Payable that s associated with a PO, you can select the brand that s defined on the entire order. Store Enter the store # of the store where the payable is created. Approved Flagging this select box will approve the payable, which will in turn allow it to be paid. Exported If you flag this select box, this will indicate to the system and the user that the payable has already been exported. APUM 03/12 CONFIDENTIAL PROPERTY OF CELERANT TECHNOLOGY Page 6

Category Select a Payable Category which defines what the Payable is for, such as rent, phone, utilities, etc. Exception Reason The Exception Reasons are predefined under Misc. Categories > Accounts Payable > Pay Exceptions. These are just reasons that the user can select to mark a Payable a certain way. Remit To Vendor PO# The Vendor PO # is automatically brought over from the actual PO when a receiving is done. If that Payable is a direct expense, the user will not be able to manually enter a PO #. The Remit To section is where you populate the name, account and contact information of who you are paying and any discounts associated with that vendor. Company, Account #, Phone & Fax These fields are un-editable and will only get populated when you click on the Select Remit To button and select a vendor from the Contact Pick List Screen. Select Remit To If you click this button this will bring up the Contact Pick List Screen, which will allow you to select the company that you are paying if that company is saved in the system. Once you select the company and click OK, that company along with its Account #, Phone and Fax information will get added to the Remit To. View Remit To If you click this button this will bring up the Contact Detail Screen, which will allow you to view the Remit To company s contact information. % This regular % discount is referred to as the Terms Discount and is the percentage that will be discounted off the total amount of the Payable if it is paid within the Net amount of days. Net (first) This is the amount of days you have to pay off the Payable to receive the Net discount. Therefore, if the % is 10 and the Net is 30, then the 10% discount will be applied to the total amount of the Payable if it is paid within 30 days. Net (second) This is the total amount of days that you have to pay off the Payable until it s past due. Discount % The Discount %, referred to as the Trade Discount, is a discount with no time frame that the vendor may give to you for doing business with them. If there is a Net Terms Discount and Discount %, both discounts will get applied to the total amount owed of the Payable. For example: If the total amount due is $1000, the Net Terms Discount is 10% and the Discount % is 5, $150 will be discounted off the $1000 making the total amount due $850 (10% of 1000 = 100 and 5% of 100 = 50). EOM This stands for End of Month and changes the % Net/Net options to % EOM. No Freight Charges If this is flagged, freight charges will not be charged to the Payable. Take Discount Always If this is flagged, the terms discount issued by the vendor will automatically get applied to the Payable regardless of when it s paid. APUM 03/12 CONFIDENTIAL PROPERTY OF CELERANT TECHNOLOGY Page 7

Totals Accounts Payable User Manual The Totals section is the where the amounts, discounts, charges and taxes are entered and displayed associated with the Payable. Correspondingly, Direct Expense Payables will not break out GL entries for any freight, discounts, additional amounts, and/or taxes that are entered here. [For example: If a Direct Expense Payable is entered and the user needs to separate the $ amount for freight, they can enter the $ amount here but will need to use the Split tab and define the $ amount using a Freight Payable Category, as well as the $ amount with the appropriate Payable Category they are using for the rest of the payable. As a result, the appropriate $ amounts will hit the desired GL Accounts that are linked to the Payable Categories.] Amount This is the initial total cost of the merchandise on the Payable prior to any additional discounts, charges or taxes being applied. Add l Amount This is an amount you can enter in for any additional fees. Discount This is a grayed out field that can t be edited, because it s based off the Terms and/or Discount % that will get applied to the total amount owed. Add l Discount This allows you to enter a dollar amount as an additional discount that will be deducted from the total amount owed. Discounted Amount - This is a grayed out field that can t be edited, which displays the updated amount after the Discounts and Additional Discounts are applied. For example: If the Amount is $1000 and there s a 10% Terms Discount and $5 Additional Discount, the Discounted Amount would be $895 (10% of 1000 = 100 and 900 5 = 895). Freight This allows you to enter any additional freight charges that will be applied to the amount. Based off the Ask to Disperse Freight over items Store Setting located under the Payables/Receivables tab, the user with the security rights to approve payables does have the option to disperse the freight amount across the merchandise on a PO during the receiving when the payable is approved. This will affect the average cost calculation based off the percentage of the total cost of the PO. For example: If a user receives on a PO with 3 items; 1 with a cost of $40 and 2 with a cost of $5 each, the total cost on the PO would be $50. If the user enters $25 for the freight charge, the system will disperse the freight to all three items based off the percentage of the total cost of the PO and calculate the average cost accordingly. Correspondingly, the average cost for each item will be based off the following calculation: ((Item Cost / Total PO Cost) * Freight Amount) + Item Cost)). Therefore, the average cost of Item 1 would be $60 ((40 / 50) * 25) + 40)), and the average cost of Items 2 & 3 would be $7.50 ((5 / 50) * 25) + 5)). Tax If the vendor issues an invoice they have the option of charging a tax % for Tax 1 and/or Tax 2. Tax 1 and/or Tax 2 will get applied to the Discounted Amount. For example: If the Discounted Amount is $1000, Tax 1 is 2.90 % and Tax 2 is 4.95 %, then $29 (1000 X 2.90 % = 29) and $49.50 (1000 x 4.95% = 49.5) will get added to the Discounted Amount. APUM 03/12 CONFIDENTIAL PROPERTY OF CELERANT TECHNOLOGY Page 8

Set Tax Normally, if Set Tax is disabled, the user would enter the tax % that will get applied to the Discounted Amount. If this is enabled, the user will be able to manually type the exact $ amount being charged for tax. Set Tax is used to override the tax % if the tax % that s applied doesn t equal what the vendor is charging. Here are two primary examples where Set Tax would be applicable: o Example A: If the vendor s invoice is $100, of which $65 of merchandise is taxable and $35 is non-taxable, you wouldn t want to set a tax % since it will get applied to the entire $100 instead of the $65 of merchandise that s taxable. Correspondingly, this will allow you to enter the correct tax amount that should be applied. Therefore, if the tax % is 7% and $65 of merchandise is taxable, you would enter 4.55 (65 X 7% = 4.55). o Example B: This also is applicable if there is a rounding issue between the vendor s software and Celerant. If you tax 7% on $99.89, the vendor may calculate that out to the exact amount of 6.99 where Celerant will round it up to 7.00. Therefore, this will allow you to enter the exact amount of 6.99 to equal what the vendor is charging. Total This is the total amount due for the payable after any discounts, charges or taxes have been added. Paid This is the amount that has been paid towards the total amount of the Payable. Owed This is the amount that is owed, which is calculated based on the total minus what s been paid. Payments The Payments tab is where you can add or void a payment towards a payable. Add If you click this button, this will bring up the Payable Lines Detail Screen. In the Payable Lines Detail Screen, you have to select a date that the payment will be made towards the payable, the payment amount, and the account that the payment will be applied to which will automatically generate the next available check number. Once you click Save, the payment will be added and get applied towards the payable once the payable is saved in the system. Void If you click this button when a payment is selected, this will void that payment from the payable. Comment/Miscellaneous The Comments/Miscellaneous tab is where you can add comments pertaining to the payable. APUM 03/12 CONFIDENTIAL PROPERTY OF CELERANT TECHNOLOGY Page 9

Split Accounts Payable User Manual The Split tab allows you apply a payable to multiple accounts for direct expense payables. Correspondingly, this allows you to itemize expenses and/or expense out specific amounts to different stores and/or categories for accounting/reporting/tracking purposes. As a result of splitting expenses, you will be able to run an income statement on a store level and see how profitable each store is for a time period. Conversely, if you didn t split expenses, you could have a store that s losing money and have no idea. Add If you click this button, this will bring up the Payable Splits Detail Screen. The Payable Splits Detail Screen is where you can select the stores and/or Payable Categories that you want to expense out specific amounts to. Payable Categories are setup for all the vendors that have a specific GL Account under General Ledger > Account Maintenance > Payable Categories. Common Payable Categories include Electric, Rent, Phone, Utilities, etc. In the Payable Splits Detail Screen, you will select the Payable Category, the store that this expense will get applied to, and the specific amount that you want expensed to that store. Once that information is filled in and you click Save, that separate expense will be added to the payable. Edit If you click this button when a split expense is selected, this will bring up the Payable Splits Detail Screen which will allow you to edit the details of that expense. Remove If you click this button when a split expense is selected, this will remove that split expense from the payable. Here are two prime examples of where splitting expenses would apply: Receiving Log o Example A: If you have one corporate office and are issued a bill from the phone company for 3 stores, you may want to expense out specific amounts to each store. Correspondingly, if the total bill is $600, you may enter just one invoice and split the $600 into individual expenses for each store. Therefore, you would create and add a separate Phone Expense for each store. In other words, store 1 might have an expense of $200, store 2 might have an expense of $300, and store 3 might have an expense $100. o Example B: If you have a credit card that is used for multiple types of purchases, this can allow you to itemize those expenses that appear on the statement that you receive from the credit card company. Therefore, if the total amount of the credit card statement is $400 with $300 for travel and lodging expenses for salespeople and $100 for office supplies, this will allow you to split and categorize those expenses accordingly. The Receiving Log tab will display the Date, Packing # and number of Boxes, which will appear when you view any payables that were created from receiving on a PO.

Payable Terms The Payable Terms tab is where you can add an amount or percentage that you want to pay towards the payable on a date you select. Unlike the Payments tab that allows you to make a payment towards the payable, this will just create a payable term that will appear separately from the payable itself in the Check Writing Screen that you can pay for separately. Payable Terms are typically used for clients that have large $ invoices. Instead of manually keeping track or having multiple payables, this allows you to create terms to pay either a certain percentage or amount towards the overall balance of the payable by a specific date. Add If you click this button, this will bring up the Payable Terms Screen which will allow you to enter an amount or percentage that you want to pay towards the payable on the date you select. Once you click Save, the Payable Term will be added to the payable and appear separately in the Check Writing Screen. Edit If you click this button when a Payable Term is selected, this will bring up the Payable Terms Screen which will allow you to edit the details of that Payable Term and resave it in the system. Remove If you click this button when a Payable Term is selected, this will remove that Payable Term from the payable. Here is an example where Payable Terms would apply: Prepay o Example: A vendor issues a $6000 invoice and tells you that you only have to pay $2000 within 30 days and the remaining $4000 within 60 days (if you pay the $2000 within 30 days) or you can just pay the $6000 within 60 days. In this case, you can add a Payable Term of $2000 and select the due by date based on the 30 day time period and save it in the system. Once the Payable Term is added and you save that payable in the system, the Payable Term would be listed in the Check Writing Screen if you search by the Due By date of that Payable Term. Correspondingly, if you make the $2000 payment within the 30 days, then that will be deducted from the overall balance of the payable. As a result, if you search by the Due By date of the payable, the remaining amount to pay on that payable would be $4000. Conversely, if you searched by the Due By date of the payable without making any payments towards it, the payable would be listed with the full amount of $6000 due. The Prepay tab allows you to reference another payable. A vendor may issue multiple invoices for one PO, one for the merchandise and another for freight or service charges. If you want to break these payables out, you can use this to assign the merchandise payable to the new payable or vice versa. APUM 03/12 CONFIDENTIAL PROPERTY OF CELERANT TECHNOLOGY Page 11

View Payables Navigational Path Accounts Payable > View Payables View Payables Screen Screen Details The View Payables Screen is where you can search for, create, edit, match and unmatch Payables in the system. You can do a specific search by vendor, brand, invoice #, PO (Ref#) Company PO#, and Pay Cats, or you can do a general search of all Payables in the system based on the Invoice Date. The Payables that appear here were either automatically created when receiving on a PO or manually created in the Enter Payables Screen. When a Payable is automatically created when receiving on a PO, the payable would either be approved or unapproved based on the employee security setting of the user receiving the PO. The approval flag on the payable is what controls if the payable will be exported (if you re using exporting) or if it will be available to post to the proper GL Accounts (if you re using the internal GL). Correspondingly, this is where you can edit and make a payment towards that Payable, combine that Payable with another Payable, or match that Payable to an Invoice.

Buttons Accounts Payable User Manual Search This button will search for and simultaneously display and list in the grid the Payables that are saved in the system. Reset If you click this button, this will reset anything you currently have displayed in the grid. Therefore, this will reset the screen to a blank screen, but it won t actually delete any existing records. New If you click this button, this will bring up the Enter Payable Screen which will allow you to create a new Payable and save it in the system. Edit If you click this button when a payable is selected in the grid, this will bring up the Enter Payable Screen which will allow you to edit that payable and save that edited payable in the system. Combine Payable If you click this button when a Payable is selected in the grid will bring up the Payable Combine Detail Screen, which will allow you to combine that Payable with another Payable or Payables. Combining Payables mainly applies to if you do multiple receivings on one PO instead of receiving all the merchandise at one time. In other words, if you receive all the merchandise on a PO at one time the system will create one payable containing all the merchandise. If you don t receive on all the merchandise at one time and instead receive the merchandise on separate occasions, each time you receive the system will create a payable for each piece of merchandise you received on. Therefore, Combining Payables allows you to combine each of those payables from the same PO that were created separately into one payable. One important thing to keep in mind is once you Combine Payables there is no way to uncombine them, so make sure you don t accidentally combine a payable that you didn t want combined because you won t be able to undo it. Manual Match If you click this button when a payable is selected in the grid, this will bring up the Manual Match pop-up window which will allow you to enter an invoice # to match that payable to an invoice. Unmatch If you click this button when a matched payable is selected in the grid, this will allow you to unmatch that payable from the invoice it was matched with. Delete If you click this button when a payable is selected in the grid, this will delete that payable from the system.

Setup in Action : Viewing & Editing Merchandise Note: Viewing and editing merchandise typically comes into place when the cost and/or price of merchandise on a PO is incorrect and differs from the cost and/or price on the invoice. This could be as a result of the vendor marking up the cost of the merchandise at some point prior to or when the PO was placed. Therefore, this allows you to correct the total of the merchandise on the payable so it matches the total on the invoice that you received from the vendor. 1. In the View Payables Screen, you can do a specific search by brand, invoice #, PO (Ref #), or Company PO # or you can do a general search for all payables.

Click Edit which will bring up the Edit Receiving Screen. 4. The Edit Receiving Screen is where you can edit the cost, price and/or quantity of each style on the payable. If you want to change the cost of all the SKU s of a style instead of changing each one individually, double click in the cost cell of that style and enter the new cost (A). If you want to make a cost, price, and/or quantity change to an individual SKU under a style, click on a style in the grid that you want to edit which will bring up a second grid below.

Once you click Save, that new quantity, cost and/or price will be updated on the payable. If you entered a new cost, the system will generate a Crystal Report of your cost variance. In addition, the system will unreceive the merchandise at the old cost and/or price and re-receive it at the new cost and/or price, which will produce an audit trail/tracking history of the changes. Moreover, the GL will credit your inventory and debit your Contra for the old cost and/or price, and then it will re-receive and credit your inventory and debit your Contra with the new cost and/or price.

Invoice List Navigational Path Accounts Payable > Invoice List Invoice List Screen Screen Details The Invoice List Screen is where you can search for, create, edit, match and unmatch invoices in the system. Once a payable or payables are generated in the system for a PO, if you re using Command Retail for your invoices as well, the Invoice List Screen is where you will go to enter, maintain, and keep track of the invoices in the system. After an invoice is entered into the system, you will then be able to match that invoice to the PO that it s associated with. The Invoice Matching process is a tool that allows you to keep track of what PO s you have received from the vendor and match them up accordingly with the invoice the vendor provided. As mentioned previously, when you a user receives on a PO and a payable is automatically generated, that payable can either be approved or unapproved based on the employee security settings of the user receiving the PO. Invoice Matching provides an alternative way of flagging and setting a payable as approved as opposed to a payable s approval being based off of the receiving of a PO. If you re using Invoice Matching, it is recommended that you allow employees to approve a payable through the matching process and limit or eliminate security rights for approving a payable through the receiving of a PO.

Select the invoice that you want to match and click the Invoice Match button (4), which will bring up the List Matched Candidates Screen. 4 3 1 2 2. The List Matched Candidates Screen will list all unmatched payables associated with the vendor on the invoice. You can narrow the search down by flagging Only Same PO# and/or Only Same Store. Only Same PO# will only list the payables associated with the PO # on the invoice, and Only Same Store will only list the payables from the same store as the invoice. Logically speaking, any payables that you match to the invoice should be part of the same PO with the same PO #, and the amount due of the payables should equal the amount due on the invoice. The only reason why you wouldn t want to flag Only Same PO# would be if a payable associated with the PO didn t have a PO # when it was created and received, or if the person who entered the invoice into the system accidentally entered the wrong PO # on the invoice. Flag the select box of the payable(s) that you want to match to the invoice (1). Correspondingly, you can click View Merchandise to view and edit the merchandise under that payable. After you flag the payables you want to match, make sure the Pre-Set Match as Approved select box is flagged (2) to approve those payables and click Match (3).
