The Payment Run page provides a list of approved AP invoices. From this page, users can apply credit memos and discounts, create payments, print checks, and produce ACH and positive pay exports for selected invoices. For more information, see Payment Run Overview.

Create Checks
Upon selecting invoices to be paid, the user clicks on Create Checks to open the Payments Created prompt. Within the prompt various actions are available depending on the Invoices that were selected to be paid. Certain prerequisites are required in order to produce all of the output that is available on the Payments Created prompt.
Note: If invoices that have a Payment Method of CC or ADD are the only invoices selected, the payment run will create the payments, then display the Print More Checks prompt (described below). The user will not see the Payments Created prompt as no further actions can be taken on CC and ADD vendor payments.

5) Export ACH - Depending on the ACH report that is assigned on the bank record and the bank Information assigned on the vendor record, the output file will vary.

Separate Remittance Prompt
When a check is printed, the AP Invoice Number(s) that is/are being paid is printed on each check stub (check stub form). Depending on your vendor settings for Payment Per Invoice, if more than 16 invoices for the same vendor are paid on the same check, a separate remittance must be generated as the stub can only contain up to 16 lines. This prompt will load automatically, as shown above.
Print More Checks Prompt
Upon closing the Payments Created prompt, the user will be prompted if they would like to create more checks, or rather, start a new payment run.
