A Manual Payment allows users to manually record previously written payments and choose whether or not the payment needs to be updated in the General Ledger. From here, users can enter new, edit un-posted, delete un-posted, and/or post manual payment transactions. When Manual Payments set to update the GL are posted, the General Ledger is updated from the transaction's Journal Entry and the Checkbook Balance is updated. Journal Entries are only created once the Manual Payment is Posted.

A positive 'Amount' increases the checkbook's balance by debiting the Checkbook's Cash Account. A negative 'Amount' decreases the checkbook's balance by crediting the Checkbook's Cash Account. This 'Amount' will be the value that is auto-assigned to the first line of the Manual Payment grid as either a Debit or Credit. Database Field: ERPx_MFCheckbookTransaction.Amount
Checkbook	A single-select lookup to select the Checkbook the payment is being made for. This field is editable when the Status is "New".

The data for manually entered lines will remain unchanged but the currency format of the Debit and Credit columns will be updated to match the currency format of the checkbook. This defaults to blank but is required, if missing, the message "Checkbook is required." will be displayed on Save. This lookup contains a blank value, the current assigned value, and a list of all the 'Active' Checkbooks, sorted by Checkbook, displayed as: If the Checkbook's Currency is the 'Home Currency' then [Checkbook] If the Checkbook's Currency is NOT the 'Home Currency' then [Checkbook] +([Checkbook Currency]) Database Field: ERPx_MFCheckbookTransaction.CheckbookSK

If a Comment is entered, it will also become the Line Comment for the Checkbook's Cash Account (if Update GL is set to 'Yes') after initial Save, however, if this value is changed/updated after this it will not update the Line Comment. The 'Comment' must be <= 60 characters. Database Field: ERPx_MFCheckbookTransaction.Comment
Payee	A text box to enter a name of the recipient of the payment. This is an editable textbox that defaults to blank and is required.

Reference	A text box to enter a 3rd party reference number for the payment. This field defaults to blank, is always editable (even after the transaction is posted) and is not required. If a Reference is entered, it will become the Reference on the Journal Entry. However, if this is changed for a "Posted" Manual Payment, the new 'Reference' will only be visible in the record view and on inquiries, it will not be updated in the posted journal entry.

Status	Identifies the Status of the transaction. This is a single-select standard lookup that defaults as 'New' and is required. This is disabled until the initial Save, then it is editable while the transaction is in a Status of 'New' or 'Approved'. Status is used to identify where a transaction, Purchase Order, Price List, BOM, or Master File record is in its life cycle.

New: This is the default Status for all new Transactions. While in the Status of 'New' transactions are considered open and all editable fields are open for edit, no posting or approval validations are performed, GL Dates are not assigned, and journal entries are not created. If the transaction was moved back from Approved to New, the GL Date will be assigned and a Journal Entry will exist. Approved: Performs all the data validations required to post the transaction and applies to all Transactions. While in the Status of 'Approved' transactions are considered open but have limited fields open for edit. If one or more validations fail, messages are provided indicating what needs to be corrected.

Ready to Post: Runs the Approval validations and applies to all transactions. While in the Status of 'Ready to Post' transactions are considered closed and all the fields are disabled with the exception of a few fields that are always editable. If one or more validations fail, messages are provided indicating what needs to be corrected.

If set to "No", after Save, the grid will be blank and the "New" and "Delete" buttons will remain disabled. Database Field: ERPx_MFCheckbookTransaction.UpdateGL

Column Filter Show/Hide	Toggles between displaying and hiding a filter row in the grid under the column headers. The filter row will be displayed by default if the Quick Column Filter is also implemented in the page. When enabled, this will allow users to type in text to filter by a specific column.
Delete	Deletes the selected line(s) from the transaction. When clicked, you are prompted with the message "Are you sure you want to delete n item(s)? Okay or Cancel". This icon is only enabled for transactions with a Status of 'New'. The first line cannot be deleted, it is auto-added and represents the change being made to the Checkbook Balance.
Excel	Exports the contents of the list view to an Excel file that will automatically download. The contents that export are those that are visible to the user. Therefore, if the user has filtered the view only the filtered contents will be exported.
Group By Show/Hide	Toggles between displaying and hiding a row in the grid above the column headers to enable grouping by one or more column(s). Once displayed, users may drag and drop column headers to group by a specific column. Once the grid is grouped by a column(s), a subtotal footer row will display in the grouping for columns that have a page footer total.
New	Inserts blank lines that allow adding multiple new records.
Quick Column Filter	Used to filter across all columns in the grid. When the user types text into the Quick Column Filter text box, the grid's Filter Row will be automatically hidden.
