Payment Run Overview

The Check Run screen provides a User with a list of Approved AP Invoices, which can be filtered by Vendor, Location Reporting Category, and Invoice Priority. The User can then apply AP Credit Memos & Discounts, create AP Payments, print Checks, and produce ACH and Positive Pay exports for selected invoices. In order to fully utilize the Check Run screen, Vendors must be properly set up (including all fields on both the 'General' and 'Vendor Additional Info' tabs), Bank Account balances and next check numbers need to be updated, and AP Invoices, AP Credit Memos and any Payment Terms Discounts must be entered and Approved.
