A Brief Description of the Top 20 Vendor Payables Report Template Accounts Payable Reports like the one seen in the image above are interactive and parameter driven and typically contain sections with graphical analysis, auto narrative to highlight key information, and details for each vendor ranked by amount due. One of the important features that aid the user in the analysis process is the ability to easily access web-based, self-service vendor reports that can be run on demand or that can be scheduled with distribution to any user in the organization. Top 20 Vendor Payables Reports are often used in conjunction with AP detail reports, AP spending trend reports, profit & loss reports with budget- and last year variances, and vendor payables dashboards.
Data Integration to Transaction Systems Most organizations these days want automated and streamlined planning, reporting and analysis. However, many of the benefits described earlier rely on best of breed extended financial planning and analysis (xFP&A) tools and/or Business Intelligence (BI) capabilities as well as data marts or data warehouses that use pre-built integrations to the organization’s ERP system. Oftentimes, they also need integrations to other key data sources like CRM, subscription systems, payroll tools, etc. Modern, cloud-based ERPs like Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance (D365 Finance), Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (D365 BC), Sage Intacct, Acumatica, Netsuite and SAP have robust APIs which allow for dynamic integrations to xFP&A and BI tools that are fully automated and flexible to run on a schedule or on-demand.
