How does AFI compare to AINQ?
The biggest difference is that AINQ is a real-time system while AFI is updated every night with that day’s transactions. In instances where transactions are posted during the current business day, reports generated in AINQ will differ from AFI, because AINQ will report the data real-time, while AFI will not include those transactions until the next AFI update occurs. In almost all instances, this will be the following business day. In addition, AINQ allows users to drill down to detail for prior year’s transactions, while AFI only shows detail for a 3-6 month period. AFI will give clearer and more accurate numbers when it comes to Paid ITD, however, and will show Invoices older than 90 days at a quick glance.
