Before RCI pays a vendor invoice, the invoice must be matched against the purchase order used to request the goods and the receiving report that the receiving department prepares. Because all three of these documents enter the accounts payable department at different times, a separate file is kept for each type of document. The purchase orders that are forwarded from the purchasing department are stored in a purchase order file. The receiving reports are stored in a receiving report file, once they are received from the receiving department. When the vendor invoice is received, the accounts payable clerk records the amount due in the accounts payable database and files the invoices. When it is time to pay a bill, the accounts payable clerk retrieves the vendor invoice, and the matching purchase order and receiving report, and sends those documents to the cashier.The accounting manager reviews the documents to ensure their accuracy. The accounting manager then prepares a check, also creating a second copy and records the check in the cash disbursements journal. Then both copies and all the three matching documents are sent to the controller.The controller reviews the documents again and signs the checks. The original copy of the check is then sent to the vendor and the copy, along with all the other documents are returned to the accounts payable department. Accounts payable then updates the accounts payable ledger and files all the documents, including the check copy.At the end of the month accounts payable uses the accounts payable ledger to update an accounts payable report that is sent to the controller who reviews and files it.
