The subject of Non-Purchase Order (PO) invoices was covered at a high level in the course titled “A Deep Dive into The Responsibilities of Accounts Payable Operations.”  This course covers the flow of Non-PO invoices, from the time they are received by a Company to the point they are paid.  The steps address the coding and approval of such invoices.  Special attention is given to those areas more prone to mistakes.  Inaccuracies can occur even before an Accounts Payable (AP) Processor is ready to enter the invoice into the system. 

Depending on the Accounts Payable system, other documents can be processed the same way as Non-PO invoices such as Credit Memos and other requests for payments including Travel and Expense reimbursement requests.      

Finally, the course covers the accounting transactions posted when a Non-PO invoice is processed, including the posting of freight and taxes that might be billed on an invoice. 

Learning Objectives
  • Recognize the difference between Purchase Order (PO) and Non-PO invoices.
  • Identify the required steps to be taken before a Non-PO invoice is processed.
  • Explore the different types of Non-PO documents that may be presented to Accounts Payable (AP).  
  • Discover the General Ledger accounts that are debited and credited when a Non-PO invoice is processed.

I found this course to be informative and in depth pertaining to the procedures in dealing with a non-PO invoice. Although much of the information is repetitive from other courses I have taken, one simply not hear this necessary information enough.

I work on a lot on contract payments and was surprise to find out the the agreement terms would supersede the company's policy. I always thought the company's policy would be an over arching document that vendors and employees should abide by.

This course was tricky as there were a great deal of what ifs mentioned and the exam questions didn't mirror that. While the course had good content, the presentation of if was a bit confusing due to "find out what your company policy is".

The instructor just read the slides- it took away all the value from the content and made this course super boring.

Please note that question 2 on the final exam for this course is "To identify a document as a Purchase Order (PO) invoice, the following must be supplied on the invoice:" How do you identify an invoice as a PO Invoice when sorting or prepping invoices for processing? I hope this helps.
