The Process Checks record view box is used to manage details of ACH payments and checks printed out to vendors. Users may print ACH and check payments, view Journal Details, generate reports, Post or Void batches. There are two types of payments that can be processed on this page: Quick Payment or Payment Batch. Once posted, quick payments need to be manually applied to a payable document using the Apply Documents button on the Fisherman Balances list view. Posting payment batches automatically apply the payment to the payable document(s) included in the settlement batch.

| Post Batch | Sets the Batch Status to "Posted". This indicates that the checks and ACH payments have been printed successfully, and the printed checks and ACH are valid for use.

When posting a payment batch, the payment will automatically be applied to the included transactions on the settlement batch. Posting a quick payment will not result in any applications. Note: If the payment pays the Posted Balance in full, the vendor's Settlement Balance line item will no longer appear. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Once voided, the check is destroyed in the system and cannot be used. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
