EDIT PAYMENT STATUS BY AP ACCOUNT

Use this screen to perform numerous functions for unpaid or partially paid posted A/P vouchers in the system.

Use it to perform any of the following procedures:

Use this screen to view posted vouchers that have not yet been paid. You can use Query or Find to look up valid pay vendors. The screen will then display the outstanding vouchers to be paid for that vendor. Use it before a check run to change payment status; adjust the Amount to Pay, Due Date, or Discount to Take fields; change the cash account for a voucher; adjust the retainage amount; or add a joint check payee.

Note: You cannot access records that are being printed while this screen is open.

AP Account Description

Use Query or Find to select a valid AP account description. Once you have a valid description, the table window will display the vouchers that have been assigned to this A/P account.

Table Window

Pay Vendor

This field displays the Pay Vendor that was assigned when the voucher was entered.

Note: If your vendor is a subcontractor, they may be covered by insurance or bonds. If their insurance/bond coverage is unsatisfactory or they are subject to a lien, their vouchers may not be selected for payment. You can view the Subcontractor Information Report to determine which subcontractors may be in contract default status.

Joint Payee

Use this field to add a joint check payee to the voucher after it has been posted to the General Ledger.

Voucher

This non-editable field displays the voucher number.

Trans Curr

This non-editable field displays the transaction currency for the voucher.

Status

The status of the voucher defaults in this field to "Hold" unless the voucher was flagged as a "PAYWPD" (Pay When Paid) voucher. Use the pay-when-paid feature to hold a voucher for payment until your client pays you. The valid statuses follow:

HOLD - Hold for payment.

DEFER - Defer from payment. Any voucher on "Defer" status will not be selected for payment in the Select Vouchers screen.

PAY - Pay the voucher. If a voucher has this status, a check will be printed for it the next time the Print Checks routine is run.

PPHOLD (Part Pay/Hold) - Partially paid but the remainder of the balance is on hold. Once the remainder is selected for payment, the status will be updated to "Pay."

PAID - "Paid" will be displayed once the voucher is fully paid. The "Paid" status is system-generated and cannot be user-updated.

PAYWPD (Pay when paid) -This designates a voucher that will not be released for payment until a specific, designated A/R bill has been paid in full. You can use the Pay When Paid Voucher History subtask to identify the A/R item(s) that are linked to this pay when paid voucher.

Amount to Pay

This field displays the amount to pay that is calculated by the Select Vouchers process. It calculates the check amount, using the following calculation:

Invoice Amount - Amount Paid - Discount Rate * (Invoice Amount - Amount Paid) if today's date is earlier than the discount date - (Retainage Percent * Invoice Amount) = Amount to Pay

When you change the status of the voucher from "Hold" to "Pay," Amount To Pay will automatically populate with the calculated amount. If, for some reason, the displayed amount is not the amount that should be paid for this voucher, enter a different amount in this field. However, the amount cannot be greater than the original invoice amount less any previous payments and less the retainage amount. If you want to adjust the Amount To Pay to completely pay off a voucher that previously had a retainage percentage, you must change the Retainage Rate column to zero before you can adjust the Amount To Pay field to pay off the voucher.

Discount To Take

The value in this editable field should be the amount of discount you are taking on the next check to be prepared. The value in the field is calculated in the selection process that occurs when you run the Select Vouchers screen. The value in this field and the Amount To Pay field are added to the balance in the Amount Paid field once the check is printed, then zeroed out. This field will contain a value only if a discount is being taken on the check that is about to be printed. If you edit this field, it cannot exceed the value in the Discount Amount field, which is the total potential discount amount available to be taken. If no discount is being taken, this field should be zero.

Address Code

This field displays the address code entered with the original voucher in the Enter A/P Vouchers screen. To change it, enter, or use Lookup to select, a new code. Only address codes that were set up for the vendor in the Maintain Vendors screen are valid. The address code that you select will print on the check.

Payment Method

This field displays the vendor payment method.

EFT Pmt Type

Use this field to identify the EFT file format to be used for all payments for this vendor address. This field is for non-U.S. EFT only. You must enter a payment type here if you are using a custom version of the Create EFT File screen that uses EFT payment types.

Sep Ck

The default setting for this field is "N" (No). If each voucher for this vendor must be paid on a separate check, set this field to "Y" (Yes). In addition, if any voucher has a pay vendor ID that is different from the vendor ID and cannot be changed, you should set this column to "Y" (Yes).

Cash Account Description

This field displays the description associated with the cash account/organization combination to which the voucher was assigned. This field is editable, and you can use Lookup to select from valid cash account descriptions.

Retainage Rate

This field displays the retainage rate. This field can be changed. If a voucher had a retainage rate when it was entered and is ready to be fully paid, change the rate to zero. Once the rate is zero and the voucher is selected for payment, a check for the retainage amount previously withheld will be printed the next time the Print Checks routine is run.

Amount Retained

This field displays the total voucher amount that has been retained. This is an editable field. Set this field to zero when the voucher is ready to be fully paid. If a voucher has had no previous payments, the Amount Retained field will be zero even if the Retainage Rate field is not equal to zero, since this field is not updated until the Print Checks routine is run.
