Build Payment Batch Record View 3.0

Build Payment Batch Record View 3.0

The purpose of this page is to create, update and process Vendor payment batches. Users will be able to search for unapplied or partially applied invoice, credit memo and check payment transactions to include on the payment batch. Payment batches, when posted, automatically apply payable transactions and receivable transactions towards each other to settle vendor balances.

 This record view also contains columns for each Attribute that is set up for the 'Vendors' attribute type. Because these are user defined, they are not included in the default view but can be added a saved layout. Vendor attributes are not included in the help documentation.
