Currently AP invoices are entered in FE.  The batch is not created until the information is validated.  For better internal control processes, why can't an AP batch be created up front similar to the Cash Receipts batch.  Control screen with the number of invoices and total $ value of the invoices processed.  That could then be compared to a tape run on the actual invoices to ensure all invoices are entered correctly.  It would also prevent accidental postings.  I have four staff persons working on multiple companies.  All five companies are in the same database so when staff are not careful, they post another user's AP invoices.  The posting report then has to be copied and shared with the other users for review and filing purposes.  I have worked in a lot different applications and FE is the only system that does not batch AP.
