Fields/Buttons

Descriptions

Pay All button

Clicking this button will set the amount in the Make payment column equal to the Outstanding amount (less any discount) for all eligible rows currently displayed. In addition, the Take discount amount will be set equal to the Discount column for all rows. Rows already selected for payment elsewhere (for example, Manual Check Entry) will not be changed.

Clear All button

Clicking this button will set the amount in the Make payment and Take discount columns to zero for all rows currently displayed.

Add Invoice

After you have selected a group of invoices, you may add another one to the list using this button.

Follow these steps:

  1. Enter the vendor code, invoice # and invoice type (or use the search windows to find).

  2. You are prompted to enter the Payment amount for the current balance, retention and any discounts.

  3. Click OK and this invoice will be added to the bottom of the list.

Status filter

Use this button to determine which types of records will display in the grid. Options include those items already selected for payment, those items that are eligible for payment, and those items that are currently on hold (and therefore not available for payment).

All 'Pymt disallowed' lines are processed like 'Eligible' records during status selection.

These fields do not allow changes.

The screen only provides access to vendors meeting the selection criteria when the processing group was initiated in the New Processing Group window. In other words, vendors assigned a 'Payment method' (in About Vendor Payment Setup) that was not selected in the New Processing Group window will automatically be excluded from the selection process.
