Manual Payment Record View
- Emma Greenwood
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.

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 |

| 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. Records start in a Status of 'New' and progress sequentially through additional statuses until they are 'Posted' or 'Closed'. The list of potential Statuses changes depending on the transaction type. 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. If all the validations pass, then all the fields are disabled except for the Status lookup (and any fields that are always editable), journal entries are created/updated, journal ID's are assigned to the journal entry, and blank 'GL Dates' are assigned. 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 set to "No", after Save, the grid will be blank and the "New" and "Delete" buttons will remain disabled. Database Field: ERPx_MFCheckbookTransaction.UpdateGL |
