Attach Vendor Payment Reports to Payment History: Australia

You can have the system automatically attach an electronic copy of payment information to payment history records when generating vendor payments in Accounts Payable.

The type of payment information attached to the payment history differs depending on the type of payment. For cheque payments, the system attaches a non-negotiable copy of the cheque to the payment history record. For EFT payments, the system attaches a copy of an EFT remittance report. For credit service payments, the system attaches a copy of the credit service remittance report. Attachments are in PDF format.

The system attaches reports to the payment record in AP Payment Posting once you print cheques or download EFTs and/or credit service files. When you post the AP Payment Posting batch, the system moves the attachment to the payment history record in AP Payment History.

Note: By attaching payment reports to payment history, you also enable the ability to send these payment reports to a vendor electronically once you make a payment. For more information, see Sending Vendor Payment Information by Email.
