Contents & Assumptions While an attempt was made to include all important screen shots and steps necessary to complete each activity, the overriding assumption is that the reader is at least an intermediate-level Accounts Payable user who doesn’t require every single step to accomplish common tasks, such as opening Accounts Payable, navigating around the menus, and viewing Inquiries, Reports, and Printouts. NOTE: The column order and size of columns in the included screen shots may vary from the defaults. This has no effect on the functionality of the software and was done to make it easier to view the necessary information for this workbook.

Importing AP Invoices Invoices can be imported from a text file with data configured in 1 of 2 different formats; Fixed and Variable. Each format requires at least 2 lines for each invoice. The first line will have information about the invoice (header) and the second will contain the first distribution line of information (detail). There can be multiple distribution lines for each invoice. Optionally, each distribution line can have 2 or more tax distribution lines. This happens when there is more than 1 tax rate per distribution line and Tax usage in AP Settings is set to Actual and tax liability. Import Files & Formats Record Identifiers Each line in the import files will have a record identifier as the first data element (think of it as the first column). These indicators communicate to S300 CRE what file format the import file is organized in. Here are the identifiers for each record type based on the import file type:

Record Type Fixed Record Identifier (“F” at end)

Variable Format Identifier

Invoice APIF API Distribution APDF APD Tax Distribution (optional) APTXF APTX Comment line # #


Sample Import Files Sample Fixed format text file (copied from AP help):

NOTE: For a detailed explanation of this example, see AP help topic Import invoices file example (Fixed format). Sample Variable format text file (copied from AP help):

NOTE: For a detailed explanation of this example, see AP help topic Import invoices file example. Fixed Import Field Format The Fixed import format field layout can be found in Help (see About Import Format fields (Fixed format) and are shown below and on the preceding pages.








Where to find the Variable Import Format Since the variable import format is, well, variable and based on AP settings. It must be generated and printed once all changes to the AP settings are complete. To print the variable format, in AP, go to Tools-Import Invoices.

Sample 1 of the Variable Import Invoices Format Journal

Sample 2 of the Variable Import Invoices Format Journal

These are the Invoice Settings when this import format journal was printed


Import Invoices As an introduction to importing invoices, this activity will use a preformatted import file that contains 12 invoices for vendor 100 “A-1 Electric Company.” Two of the invoices will reject and will require an adjustment before importing again. The file to be imported is called “TUG Import Me!.csv” and is included in the materials on the flash drive. It is formatted using the Variable import invoice format specified on page 10. Start the import by going to AP-Tools-Import Invoices. Select the file to import by clicking on the button below.

Select the file to import (the file indicated below will be at a different location than in the screenshot).


Select the file that rejected invoices will be sent to by clicking on the button below (the last file used will be the file name that defaults).

Select “TUG Import Me!” and type “Rejects” at the end in the File name entry box.


Click Start.

At the Print File Selection – Import Invoices window, type “AP import invoices” to identify the file name for the Import Invoices Journal to print to.

Check Background Tasks to see if there are errors>


Review the Import Invoices Journal Go to AP-File-Printouts and select the journal file.

Review the journal and make sure that all invoices imported correctly. This is what a correctly imported invoice looks like:


Are there any rejections? There should be 2 rejections indicated in the last page.

When finished reviewing the journal, close the AP Import Invoices journal. Review and Correct the Rejection File The invoices that were rejected will be in the Rejected records file indicated on the Import Invoices – Print Section window. Open the file using Notepad to view and correct as necessary. Open File Explorer and select the rejection file (“TUG Import Me! Rejects”).


Select Notepad. (The screen shot to the right is from Windows 8.1 so it may look different from other menus). Here is the contents of the rejections file:

Here are the reasons why the invoices rejected:

1. The first rejected invoice (TUG11) was blocked because the invoice description is longer than 30 characters (see 1 in screen shot above).

2. The second rejected invoice (TUG12) was blocked because the job number on the distributions lines doesn’t exist. They’re missing a leading zero at the beginning and should be 03001 vs. 3001.

Make the necessary changes in the rejections file and save. When finished the file contents should look like the one below:


Import the Corrected Rejection File In AP, go to Tools-Import Invoices. Select the corrected rejection file from the previous step for the Import file. Enter a file name for the Rejected records file and click [Start]. Enter “AP import invoices 2” under the File name of the Print File Selection window

Open the Background Tasks window to verify the status of the last AP Import Invoices status is “Completed Normally.”


Go to File-Printouts to view the import journal.

Go to the last page of the printout and review the warning messages. While they are important to look at, they will not prevent the invoices from being imported.

Post the Imported Invoices Successfully imported invoices will be sitting in the NEW.API file, which means that they are not posted to the other modules and will not be available to be paid. To review the invoices before posting, go to Inquiry-Invoice Inquiries-Invoice Register. Click on invoice, [OK], New, [OK], Register, and [OK].


Double-click on Vendor 100 to view invoice details.

Only the twelve imported invoices should be listed because they are the only unposted invoices for vendor 100.


Close the inquiry. Go to Tasks-Post Invoices to post the invoices and click [Start].

Enter “Post AP Invoices” for the File name in the Print File Selection window.


Open the posting journal above to make sure the invoices posted normally. Open the Invoice Register inquiry to make sure all the invoices posted. This time, select the following:

Double-click on vendor 100.

Verify all twelve invoices posted.

Electronic Payments Overview For this series of activities, we’ll review preparing a vendor for EFT payments, selecting invoices for payment, generating a prenote, and finally generating an electronic notifications file. Update Vendor Setup A-1 Electric Company (vendor 100) has requested to receive future payments electonically. Make adjustments to vendor setup as needed. In AP, go to Setup-Vendors. Set the default Payment type.


Update the vendor’s Electronic Payment Settings based on the screenshot below:

Click [Save] to exit Vendor Setup. NOTE: Only future invoices will default to be paid electronically. The payment type on existing invoices will need to be changed to be paid electronically (this process is detailed in the next activity). NOTE: By clicking Prenote only, the first time that an electronic payment is generate for this vendor, it will be a “test run” and the vendor will still get a check. The “test” elecronic payment file will have 1 payment for each prenote vendor in the amount of $0. After the file is generated, the Prenote only check box will be cleared and the Prenote date show the date the prenote was generated.


Generate a Prenote In order to generate a prenote, an invoice must be selected to pay although it won’t actually be paid electronically and will still require a check payment. After the prenote is completed, then all future electronic payments to the vendor will be “live.” The first step is to select an invoice to pay. There are several methods to do this. This activity will use the Override Payment Selection method for efficiency. In AP, go to Tasks-Generate Electronic Payments and click [Override Payment Selection].


Click [Ranges] and select vendor 100.

Double-click on invoice 987 and review the error message.


Click [OK] on the error message. Click [Detail On] and scroll to the right to view the Payment type.


Change the Payment type to “Electronic” by first clicking [Other].

Change the Payment type.


NOTE: It is not necessary to open the Detail Window to change the Payment type on the invoice. The functionality on the [Other] button can be used even when not displaying the Detail Window. Select invoice 987 (again) and click [OK].

Enter “5/31/13” for the Effective date. This is like the accounting date and will be used at the date that they payment is posted in the GL and interfacing applications. Click on the Electronic payment path and click [List] to select the path.


Type “AP EFT File” in the File name and click [Save].

Click [Start].


Type “AP EFT Notification File” in the Print File Selection – notifications window.

Type “AP EFT Payment Report” in the Print File Selection – Payment Report window.


Since this there was only a prenote “payment” in this run, Background Tasks will blink and display a Status of “No information to print.”

Review the “AP EFT Payment Report” printout using File-Printouts.


Here is a portion of the report:

Look at the EFT file using File-Printouts (hint: switch Files of type to “Plain Text”).


Open the vendor setup for 100 to make sure that the Prenote Date is “5/31/15.”

Click [Save] and [Close] to exit vendor setup.


Generate a “Live” Electronic Payment Using the same invoice at the previous example, generate a live EFT file. In AP, go to Tasks-Generate Electronic Payments and click on [Override].

Click [Ranges], select vendor 100, and click [Start].


Click on invoice 987 and [OK].

Enter “5/31/13” for Effective date and “AP Real EFT File.txt” for Electronic payment path, then click [Start].


Enter “AP EFT Notification File 2” for the File name in the Print File Selection – notifications window.

Enter “AP EFT Payment Report 2” for the File name in the Print File Selection – Payment Report window.


Check Background Tasks to make sure the Status is “Completed Normally.”

Go to Inquiry-Cash Management-Electronic Payments and double-click on the “First” Bank Account.


Subcontractor Compliance Management Overview When working with subcontractors, it becomes important to track different types of documents. The following activities highlight the ability of the system to accurately create and monitor compliance of these items:

• Lien Waivers • Vendor Insurance • Certified Reports • Miscellaneous Items (user-defined)

Managing Lien Waivers For this activity, setup the system based on the following requirements:

• Only create unconditional lien waivers • Generate lien waivers when an invoice is paid • The lien waiver through date should be the last day of the month • Final lien waivers should reflect the commitment total • Lien waivers should only be created for Vendors that are enabled • Lien waiver non-compliance should…

o Warn when an invoice is entered o Warn when an invoice is selected for payment o Block payment of an invoice

Then, enter test data to validate the settings. Verify Compliance Settings Review the Compliance Settings in AP, by going to File-Company Settings-AP Settings. Click on [Compliance Settings], click on the Conditional Lien Waivers tab, and make sure the system will not create conditional lien waivers.


Click on the Unconditional Lien Waivers tab and match it to the following screen shot:

Now, click on [Compliance Warning Settings] and the Lien Waivers tab to make sure all of the warnings are checked:


Close out of AP Settings. Setup a New Vendor In AP, go to Setup-Vendors and create a new Vendor as follows, then close Setup-Vendors.


Verify Job Setup In JC, go to Setup-Jobs, and open Job 03-008. Click on the Job Compliance tab and verify lien waivers are being created for Subcontractors only. Also, set the minimum Commitment amount for Subcontractors to $600 and $100 for Subcontractor invoices not linked to a Commitment.

Close Job Setup. Setup a Commitment In JC, go to Tasks-Commitments and setup a commitment for the base contract. Ensure that lien waivers will be created for a Vegas Electric Supply, a Secondary Vendor and supplier to TUG Electric.

Print the Lien Waivers In AP, go to, Tasks-Subcontractor Compliance Management.

Verify 2 lien waiver records were created, one for TUG Electric and the other for Vegas Electric Supply. Enter “10000” in the Amount column for Vegas Electric Supply. (Lien waivers for secondary vendors do not prefill with an amount).

Highlight the 2 lien waiver records and click [PRINT], [PRINT], and [START].

NOTE: Only one Lien Waiver document can be previewed from within Subcontractor Compliance Management at a time, but multiple Lien Waivers can be printed by multi-selecting lines like above. In order to preview multiple Lien Waivers, use the Lien Waivers on the Reports menu –> AP-Reports-Lien Waivers.


About the Lien Waiver Amount Why was the lien waiver amount $49,500? Here’s an explanation looking at each invoice distribution: Invoice 1111

Invoice 2222

Invoice 3333

These 2 distributions are for the same commitment with a commitment total over the $600 minimum. Therefore a lien waiver record for $49,500 is created.

Normally this distribution would have resulted in a 2nd lien waiver record since it’s coded to a job, however, the amount paid is less than the $100 minimum threshold, so no lien waiver record is created.

Normally this distribution would have resulted in another lien waiver record since it’s coded to a job, however, the amount paid is less than the $100 minimum threshold, so no lien waiver record is created.

Lien waiver records are only created for distributions that are coded to a Job, therefore, no lien waiver record is created.


Enter an Additional Invoice Enter an additional invoice for Vendor 100. Go to Tasks-Enter Invoices. Enter the following in the Invoice Grid.

Enter 03008-01 in the Commitment column. The Compliance Warning message should appear because there are 2 outstanding lien waivers for Commitment 03008-01. Click [Details].

Click [Start] and select the 2 outstanding invoices. Since there are outstanding compliance items, the unpaid invoices have a compliance warning symbol next to them (blue circle with a “C”).


Click [OK] on the Override Payment Selection window. Click [Start] and enter “AP Checks 2” and “AP payment report 2,” respectively for the 2 journal name prompts.

Go to File-Printouts, and preview the “AP Checks 2” journal.

Below is an explanation of the 5 lien waivers created. (Notice that lien waivers were only created for Vegas Electric Supply for distributions coded to Commitment 03008-01).


Insurance and Miscellaneous Compliance Items Setup and track the following insurance and other miscellaneous items for Vendor 110.

• Receipt of General Liability and Workers’ Comp insurance is required. Workers’ Comp insurance should be received per Commitment.

• Maintain trade license information. • Receipt of W-9 form. • Require signed contracts for each commitment. • Project closeout documents for each commitment at completion.

Why is there no warning for the missing Workers’ Comp insurance and Signed Contract document? It’s because Commitment 03008-01 was entered before the setup on the Vendor was changed. Only future Commitments will trigger the job specific requirements setup on the Vendor. Click [Ignore] and complete the Invoice entry as follows:

Finish and post the invoice. Use any file name when prompted.

Select the Misc tab and enter the missing contract document information.

NOTE: The preceding entries would have been automatically created if Commitment 03008-01 was created and committed after the changes were made to Vendor setup. In fact, committing a Commitment is the only trigger for automatically creating job-specific records of expectation because it formally ties a Vendor with a particular Job. Click [Close] to exit Subcontractor Compliance Management.


Start Entering a New Invoice to Test Compliance Warnings Go to Tasks-Enter Invoices and enter the following (click [Ignore] when the Compliance Warning window appears):

In the Distribution grid, enter “03008-01” for the Commitment and press ENTER. The following Compliance Warning appears with 2 new warnings:


The Compliance Messages now includes warnings for Commitment-specific Workers’ Comp insurance and Job-specific Signed Contract.

Where are the Project Closeout Documents? Since they are only Required for Final Compliance, there is no warning for them. The warnings will start when the remaining uninvoiced amount on the Commitment is below the threshold setup on the Job. Click [OK] to close the Compliance Messages. Cancel the Invoice by clicking [Cancel dist] and [Cancel invoice]. [END OF DOCUMENT]
