(FRA) About mandats de paiement (Public sector) [AX 2012]

The mandat de paiement is used by the director to notify the accountant that the organization is obligated to pay a specific amount to another entity, and to authorize the accountant to pay that amount. The mandat maintains the strict separation that is required between the operational role of the director and the accounting role of the accountant.

In Microsoft Dynamics AX, each mandat is assigned a single vendor invoice line. This guarantees that each mandat concerns only one creditor and includes only one budgetary account.

A group of related mandats, together with all supporting documentation, are assigned to a bordereau de mandat for submittal to the accountant. The director must make sure that the bordereau de mandat includes either operating expenses or capital expenses. It cannot include a mix.
