This enhancement lets the user add a new account in the chart of accounts while entering an invoice in Accounts Payable. Normally it would be necessary to quit the invoice, get out of Accounts Payable, and start General Ledger to add an account. With the new procedure, however, some basic information is entered from AP and the remainder of the information is entered later in General Ledger. If General Ledger is not in use, this feature provides the ability to validate entries even though not linked.

This enhancement, along with the Chart of Accounts for AP, facilitates use of a chart of accounts without providing all the features of GL.

It is not necessary to discontinue entry of the payable, Switch to GL and add an account. Instead the account is entered "on the fly" In Accounts Payable. This can be a great help while establishing a new chart of accounts, or if multiple departments are used and not all have routine expenses.
