AP/CAR (Accounts Payable Control Analytical Review) AP/CAR is the University’s automated invoice processing system. It provides a user-friendly, real-time environment for departmental users to electronically submit invoices to the AP Department, improving their ability to control and track the processing of invoices. Login Instructions Requires Columbia UNI and password (first time users receive a temporary password via e-mail from CUIT). Upon entering the Columbia UNI and temporary password, AP/CAR prompts the user to change the temporary password to a permanent password. After the user is logged into AP/CAR, from the menu bar, select “Applications”, and then “CAR”. If you are logging on for the first time, the notice “User has no pending items” will appear. Click OK. If you have begun processing items, you may be alerted to items in your Returned by AP for Correction queue at this time. Click OK. Note: CourseWorks Online Procurement Overview Training is mandatory prior to accessing AP/CAR for the first time.
