Transfer to AP

Make the following menu selections to display this tab:

ePO—End of Period—Transfer to AP

Use this tab to create a transfer file and report. The file and report contain invoices created from purchase orders you added in ePO. The transfer file can be sent to an email address and then imported into an accounts payable system for processing. The transfer file format can be CYMA Version 10, Timberline, Timberline B, Invoice.XML or Invoice.BCL.

Note

Because eFinancials and ePO can appear on the same menu and are both available to eFinancials users, permission setup must be completed carefully. Refer to Effect of Purchasing for more information.
