Never heard of Ansonia. Been using D&B for a decade with mixed results. It's only as good as the vendors reporting the deadbeats.

I ran an internal AR report on a customer yesterday who was asking for a special favor.....he had invoices past due by 647 days. He got no such favor. I have no idea what our CFO and AR girls do. The more accounts I checked the more invoices I saw that were over a year old. I'd guarantee none of them have been reported to anyone. I was amazed at the total lack of professionalism. Any accountant that looked at our books = :risas3:

I have to constantly ask my vendors for invoices so I can pay them to close the account. If we don't get the invoice by a set date then they don't get paid. It's happened before and it's out of my hands at that point. I just refer them to our accounting department and say good luck.

I do similar in my dept, but we handle it internally. We have two week turn around leadtimes for custom entrances so everything must be on point. We use a 3 bin system Ive been using since a mentor taught it to me almost 20 years ago. When I place a PO I take a copy of the PO and a copy of the email it was sent via. Both get stapled together and go into bin 1. Every day I got through bin 1 waiting for order confirmations. If two days pass and I don't have a confirming I contact them. Once the order has been confirmed and is correct the confirming gets stapled to the top and initialed - then it goes to bin 2. Bin 2 gets checked every day to insure the materials are shipping when they should. If 2 days pass and we haven't been invoiced I contact the vendor to insure the product has shipped. Once products have shipped and been invoiced I check the material and freight costs - once they are acceptable I initial and staple the invoice to the top and it goes into bin 3. Every Friday I enter the invoices into AP system and pass them onto accounting.

Once the paperwork goes to accounting - it's out of my hands. Luckily I take care of everything prior to accounting getting it otherwise all hell would break loose.

Some people hate getting paid maybe? jk. You think something as simple as an invoice would not be an issue.

You wouldn't believe how many vendors forget to invoice products, and I'm not talking a few hundred dollars - typically a few thousand.

I spent the week dry trying to make sure I was in decent shape for my lab blood draw this morning. I celebrated a successful blood draw by having a Peticolas Velvet Hammer at lunch. It was as good as I remembered.

Not real impressed. If it is not better after the 3rd drink I am likely to give away a few of the beers.
