Accounts Payable interface

With Payroll, you have the option of sending deduction transactions to the Lawson Accounts Payable application for payment. If you choose to use this capability:

  • All organizations or persons to be paid must be set up in Accounts Payable as vendors.

  • You have the option of creating an invoice for each employee deduction or combining the deductions into one invoice.

  • Accounts Payable is updated with the deductions when you close payroll each payroll cycle. Closing Payroll creates invoices in Accounts Payable ready for payment (they're sent through as released).

  • Accounts Payable processes and prints checks during the regular Accounts Payable payment cycle.

Example

Two Rivers Company sends their tax payables, among other things, to Accounts Payable for payment. They establish the Minnesota Department of Revenue as a Vendor (Vendor #2) in the Accounts Payable application.

Vendor #2, the Minnesota Department of Revenue, is attached to the deduction code for Minnesota Withholding Tax so that all the money collected for Minnesota Withholding tax during the payroll cycle can be sent together to Accounts Payable for payment when the payroll is closed.
