Manual Accounts Payable processes are the traditional way of settling an organization’s financial obligations. The process involves a series of manual steps to identify, verify, and approve invoices for payment, as well as to record payments and track them against budgeted amounts. With a manual Accounts Payable process, businesses need greater oversight and control to ensure accuracy and timeliness while avoiding mistakes that may bring costly consequences. But when done properly with sufficient oversight, a manual Accounts Payable process can provide effective control over expenses and ensure vendor relationships remain strong.
