Obviously there can be a timing difference, which is why a GR/IR account is used. You can run a weekly aging report and email or notify all outstanding vendors, every week. This is how you collect money in accounts receiveable and it is the same process for GR/IR accounts. But, why do you want to hurry up vendors that are late with their invoices? Isn't that just free cash flow? The GR/IR – Goods Receipt / Invoice Receipt account is used for goods received before an invoice or for invoices received before the goods.

What's required is a highly flexible workforce trained in multiple areas. It is the same as a small business where a single individual must perform multiple functions. Job specialization will not work very well until you get enough order volume to support the specialization. Bottom line: train each worker with multiple skills. Increase your skill flexibility and think like a small business. Low transaction environments are the same as job shops where each order could be a custom product.
