Process Payments Record View - AP
The Process Payments record view is used to manage the details of ACH, Draft, Wire and/or Check payments. Users may print ACH and check payments, view Journal Details, generate reports, Post or Void (Delete) batches. There are two types of payments that can be processed on this page: Quick Payment or Payment Batch. Once posted, Quick Payments can be manually applied to a document using the Apply Documents button on the Vendor Balances list view. Posting Payment Batches automatically applies the payment to the transaction(s) included in the settlement batch.

Status |
Saving the Payment batch as Approved (or greater) will automatically assign any Payment #'s that have not already been assigned. Once the batch is posted, the Posted Balance and Net Balance for the Vendor's account(s) will be updated. When posting a Payment Batch, the payment will automatically be applied to the included transactions on the payment batch. Posting a Quick Payment will not result in any applications. Note: If the Vendor’s ‘Accounts Payable’ account is missing from the Vendor master file, the following message will appear when saving a payment with a status of Approved or Ready To Post: “JE:[JournalID] Src Trans: [Batch ID] - is unbalanced.” To resolve the issue, add the Accounts Payable account to the Vendor’s record and save the record. The batch can then be saved as Approved or Ready To Post. Note: If the payment pays the Posted Balance in full, the Vendor's Balance line item will no longer appear unless the 'Hide Vendors where all balances are 0.00' filter is set to "No". |
