Overview - Accounts Payable

Clarifications on alpha distribution:

• If the supplier’s name begins with ‘A’ or ‘THE’ as the start of their company name, the alpha is determined on the second name of the company.  For example, A Party Place is processed under the P’s and The Alma Mater Society is processed under the A’s.
• If the supplier’s official business name contains an initial to start, the initial determines the alpha.  For example, J. Smith Plumbing is processed under the J’s.
