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.
To create a Check Run, perform the following steps in order:
- Hover over 'Vendor' in the top ribbon and select 'Check Run'
- Use the 'Select Invoices From' selector to select the Legal Entities (and thereby indirectly select the Locations) from which to populate the Invoice Grid
- Select the Checking Account that will be used to pay each AP Invoice
- Select the Location that will be listed on the Header of each AP Payment that is created
- Set the Payment date that will appear on each AP Payment
- Verify the Bank Account Balance and Next Check Number
- Select which AP Invoices will be paid
- Invoices can be filtered by Due/Discount date, Vendor Group, Location Reporting Category, or Invoice Priority
- View and Apply AP Credit Memos
- Create Payments
- Print Checks
- Close the Check Run
It is important to note that AP Invoices that are put on hold will not appear in a Check Run. Click here for more information on Payment Holds.
