If you have more than one store and have purchased Epicor Eagle™ multistore software, you’ll need to determine how to set up Accounts Payable to best suit your company’s needs. Your local Implementation Specialist can assist you in making this determination. The following is a basic overview of the two possible ways of setting up multistore Accounts Payable.
You can set up a single Accounts Payable directory for all of your stores.
Typically, most multistore users set up a single Accounts Payable directory, especially if all store locations are under the same ownership. With a single directory setup, all stores’ accounts payable information is kept together. As a result, you can:
view and print all stores’ open items together
print checks for all stores together
track accounts payable history for all stores combined
You can set up multiple Accounts Payable directories for each of your stores.
Typically, multistore users whose store locations are under separate ownership set up multiple accounts payable directories. With a multiple directory setup, all stores’ accounts payable information is kept separately. As a result, you can:
view and print all stores’ open items separately (you cannot print them for all stores combined)
print checks for each store separately
track accounts payable history for each store separately
