Accounts Payable Accruals
Accrued accounts payables are amounts owed for goods or services actually rendered or received by the agency as of Aug. 31 for which payments have not been made. Accrued accounts payables are entered for each appropriation using a PCA that points to the appropriate strategy in USAS. Use the correct appropriation year and the correct COBJ when entering these amounts. These amounts are included in the ABEST/USAS reconciliation for all valid strategies.
WARNING: The following entries may be potential ABEST entries. Verify that the PCA points to the appropriate strategy and appropriation. Also see Correcting Bookkeeping and Cost Allocation Entries (APS 021) (FPP A.013).

Recording Payables Using Cost Pools
Agencies using the cost pool method to record expenditures must determine which fund will be used to record a payable prior to actually recording it. Payables may be recorded directly in the fund in which the expenditure ultimately belongs, that is, allocated manually. Or they can be recorded in a cost pool as an account payable with an interfund payable recorded in the fund in which the expenditure belongs and an interfund receivable recorded in the fund where the original payable was recorded.
USAS Tip
The DAFR8700 may be used to review expenditures by PCA for appropriated funds in the state treasury. It includes the program code, appropriated fund, appropriation and appropriation year.
