Process Payments Record View
The Process Payments record view is used to manage the details of ACH and/or check payments. 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 can to be manually applied to document using the Apply Documents button on Fisherman Balances list view. Posting Payment Batches automatically apply the payment to the transaction(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. Once the batch is posted, the Posted Balance and Net Balance for the Account(s) will be updated. 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 Fisherman's Settlement Balance line item will no longer appear. |
Print Payments | Allows users to select "Print ACH" or "Print Checks" and opens a PDF allowing users to view the selected payments. Once the Print Payments button has been clicked, the Batch Status field will be updated to "Checks Printed", "ACH" or "ACH & Checks Printed". |

Void Batch | Sets the Batch Status to "Void". This indicates that the checks have not been printed successfully, and the printed checks are invalid for use. Some examples of when a check may be voided would be if the check paper got jammed in the printer, printed on the wrong side or upside down on the check paper, or if an incorrect paper was used to print the check. Once voided, the check is destroyed in the system and cannot be used. |
