When to switch to Accounts Payable (simple rule)

If you’ve emailed the client contact twice with no clear payment date → contact AP.
If the invoice is >5 business days overdue → contact AP with PO/vendor fields.
If AP confirms a date → stop escalating and follow up only if the date passes.

FAQ

Ask AP to confirm the payment status and the expected payment date. That turns a vague situation into a clear next step.
