The subject of 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 PO invoices, from the time they are received by a Company to the point they are ready to be paid. 

This course addresses the different types of Purchase Orders a Company may have as well as the different matching methods.  Special attention is given to those areas more prone to mistakes.  For examples, some inaccuracies can occur even before an Accounts Payable (AP) Processor is ready to enter the invoice into the system.  We learn how to recognize them.

The accounting transactions posted when a PO invoice is processed is covered, including the posting of freight and taxes that may be billed on an invoice.

This was quite similar to the last course with the what ifs and the last question on the exam could have been most of those answers. A little frustrating, but good content from the course itself.

This was informative as all of the others have been, but the questions sometimes seem tricky to me. There is much detail to tend to when it comes to the PO process.

I don't normally work on direct inventory invoices, so I found this exam a bit challenging just because of the 2-way, 3-way, 4-way rules...
