Program Overview: What is Accounts Payable and Receivable (Record-to-Report)?
Accounts Payable & Receivable (Record-to-Report) is Edstellar's instructor-led program for finance teams that run invoice-to-pay and billing-to-cash cycles. Participants master AP and AR fundamentals, vendor and customer master discipline, and month-end close controls. The focus stays on operational skill: structured invoice matching, disciplined collections, and subledger reconciliation.
Training is hands-on from the first module. Participants practice in guided ERP sandbox labs that mirror day-to-day work: matching invoices to purchase orders, applying cash receipts, and working aging queues. Instructors shape sessions around your ERP, workflows, and close calendar, reviewing every exercise with direct feedback. The program closes with a capstone simulation where the team runs a full AP/AR cycle and presents the close pack.
Finance teams lose days to unmatched invoices, unapplied cash, and chaotic month-ends that delay the close. This program teaches your team controlled, auditable AP/AR operations, replacing firefighting with disciplined cycles. Every technique is practiced in the sandbox, so the learning transfers directly to your close calendar.
They run a complete AP/AR cycle in simulation, invoices, reconciliations, close, before touching your books. Your finance team gets people who've already made the month-end mistakes somewhere safe.
Six modules and 24 hours: vendor and customer master setup, invoice-to-pay operations, billing-to-cash, collections and disputes, and month-end close with reconciliation. Every module pairs concepts with a guided ERP sandbox lab, so each technique is practiced. It closes with a capstone simulation where the team runs a full AP/AR cycle and presents the close pack.
Delivery is hybrid across virtual and onsite sessions, scheduled around your calendar. Cohorts train as one group or split into batches, with session materials and lab guides included for every participant.

Build Disciplined AP and AR Skills From Transactions to Close
Edstellar develops practical finance operations skills across invoice-to-pay, billing-to-cash, and month-end reconciliation. Participants work through vendor and customer records, matching exceptions, cash application, collections, and close controls in guided ERP sandbox exercises. An end-to-end simulation brings these activities together in a reconciled close pack and working-capital report for instructor review.
- Step 01
Consult
We examine AP and AR responsibilities, ERP familiarity, and recurring issues such as unmatched invoices, unapplied cash, and reconciliation differences to identify training priorities.
- Step 02
Plan
We connect vendor controls and invoice processing with billing, cash application, and collections, then progress to subledger reconciliation and the end-to-end month-close simulation.
- Step 03
Align
We align finance operations expertise with your ERP environment, segregation-of-duties requirements, and close responsibilities so sandbox exercises reflect the processes participants actually own.
- Step 04
Customize
We adapt invoice batches, aging reports, and reconciliation scenarios to familiar payment terms and exception types, using sample data rather than live transactions.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants resolve invoice mismatches, apply receipts, work aging queues, and reconcile subledgers in the sandbox, with feedback on control compliance and exception handling.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We review the simulated close pack, ledger reconciliations, and DSO and DPO calculations to assess transaction accuracy, control application, and the explanation of outstanding differences.
