I am a new user and know how to process a cash invoice - one invoice only. I do not know what to do when it comes to entering several invoices for the same vendor and then issuing a cheque. Can someone please give me step by step intructions?

Help

Enter the invoices in an invoice batch. Post this batch. Then pay these invoices using either a manual cheque or the "Print/post cheques and advise" function.

You might want to consider getting some training from your Adagio dealer.

Or at least reviewing the webinar on using Adagio Payables.

I am definitely looking forward to taking some training, I am just waiting to hear back... I was kind of put in this job and have to be resourceful for now.
one more thing....I have now done an invoice batch through the invoices module.
Then I made a batch in my checks and processed them there. Is that correct?
Thanks in advance for your help.

The Adagio Invoices module does invoicing for your Customers. This is different than logging the invoices that you receive from your Vendors. This would be entered in Adagio Payables, in an invoices batch.

Then you could use the steps that Doug outlined for generating the payment.

The webinar that Andrew mentioned would show the basics of where the important functions of Adagio Payables can be found. It's only an hour long and doesn't go into extreme detail on absolutely everything, but it's enough to get started.

You seem to be in a hard situation, maybe this will help.

Our standard is to recommend that clients new to Adagio, or who have not previously worked with Accpac Plus for DOS, consider doing the following:

1. Purchase the Adagio Training manuals for all Adagio modules to be used. They sell for $80 / per module + Shipping. (For more info go to www.lng.bc.ca )

2. Invest the few hours required to do go thru the guided exercises using the tutorial training data. While doing the tutorial, make notes, and write down any questions, or considerations, in preparation for working with your Adagio Consultant.

3. Watch the Adagio Webinars for each Module to be used.

4. Schedule some one-on-one time with your Adagio Consultant to go over how you are currently doing daily, monthly, and annual tasks so that improvements to your business process can be considered. (When properly done, this will result in a significant ROI)

5. Document your Accounting Procedures, and then ask your Consultant to review them with you, using their expertise, to identify possible improvements, new functionality available by using new Features in Adagio, printing to files instead of paper, exporting to Excel from the new improved Adagio Smart Finder, etc.

6. Re-read the Adagio Brochures and make notes on any features of interest, or could possibly be applicable to your specific business needs. Then cover this, in detail with your Adagio Consultant.

We have found that doing the above reduces the cost while maximizing the benefits of having us come in and assist clients with optimization, adopting "Best Business Practices", and generally getting the most functionality from Adagio. Our clients have found that this approach gets better results in more effectively capitalizing on our years of experience working with multiple sites providing integrated solutions..

7. Consider going to Adagio Training. (Some people prefer, or learn better in a classroom situation.

Good luck!

Have you used your sample data? In trying to work through a process it is good to work with data that you can test with, that is separate from your live data. An option is creating a duplicate set of your data; clearing showing it as TEST data; then you can try out newly learned processes without fear. Adagio sample data will most likely have been installed at the same time your program was.

Have you been using the F1 key for help, if you find yourself unsure of how to complete an entry within a field, pushing F1, will likely give you more information about that field, "helping" you to move forward.

also.... Become familiar with the back-up process, remember to back-up frequently. Everyone makes the odd mistake while learning.

Looking forward to hearing of your success... everyone starts somewhere.
