Reference

All invoices and credit memos posted in RepairCenter for parts, sublets, towing bills, etc. are sent to the Accounting > Transfer > Payables tab. Some of these invoices will need to be transferred to Accounting.
Pre-paid, COD, and voided invoices will not need to be transferred to Accounting, but will need to be "set as transferred." These invoices are identified in the Payables tab by color.
There are two ways to denote a payable as pre-paid or COD. Prior to receiving the part(s), in the Paid column in the Parts > Receive tab, if the box is checked on the line, it will display in the Payables tab in yellow. If the check box is cleared from the “Send to Payables” box, it will display in the Payables tab in orange. The option chosen will depend on the number of parts being received on an invoice. If only one part is being received as COD, it is easier to check the box on the individual line. If multiple parts are being received, it is easier to remove the check box in “Send to Payables.” Voided invoices appear in red text.
