The transactions generated by the A/P system will be placed within the Accounts Payable account, as a record of what occurs, but you do not directly work within this account.

These 4 application components are:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul><li><p><b>Vendors</b> are people or companies from which you buy products or services on credit.</p></li><li><p><b>Bills</b> represent the physical bill you receive from a vendor, requesting payment. A bill contains an itemized list of things you purchased.</p></li><li><p><b>Jobs</b> (optional) is where you register Vendor Jobs, a grouping mechanism by which you can group bills to a particular vendor.</p></li><li><p><b>Process Payments</b> is where you register money payments to a vendor to whom you owe money.</p></li></ul></div><p>In the next 4 sections of this chapter, the above 4 application components will be introduced.</p></div><div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/transitional" class="navfooter"><hr></hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="bus_ap_setup1.html"><<<Prev</a></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"><a accesskey="n" href="bus_ap_vendors1.html">Next>>></a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left">13.2.
