Director: Assign invoice lines to mandats
When a vendor invoice is received, the director approves or certifies that the goods or services were received and gathers the necessary supporting documentation. Once everything is in order, the director assigns each invoice line to a mandat.
For certain expenses, the accountant may make a payment before receiving a mandat, and the director will regularize the payment by issuing a mandat afterward. This usually occurs for urgent or recurrent expenses, such as utility payments or rent. It may also occur when money is owed to a régisseur.
Click Accounts payable > Reports > France > Mandat de paiement.
