Effects of the Accounts Payable application to Lawson Distribution Management

Uses of Accounts Payable

You use Accounts Payable when you create purchase orders for items for your customers. Accounts Payable defines vendors, freight carriers, and vendor roles. If a customer places an order with you, then you can choose to fill the order from your inventory, or to purchase the items from a vendor. If you purchase the items from a vendor, then you must define the vendors and set up the Accounts Payable application.
