Field Description
Process Payments

Click this action after you finish selecting all the AP vouchers to pay for a payment run and you are ready to process the run.

Before you click this option, you may want to do any of the following:

  • Select Vendors with Payments Only on the toolbar of the Vendor Balances grid on the Select Vouchers page, to review the vouchers that are selected to pay.
  • Click Other Actions > Bank Cash Requirements and/or Other Actions > Cash Requirements Report on the Select Vouchers page to view cash requirements for the payment run.

When you click Process Payments, you receive a warning dialog box that lets you know that payment processing makes permanent changes to your database. At this point, you should have already reviewed the vouchers, settings, and cash requirements before proceeding. When you click Proceed on the warning dialog box, the Printing and Numbering page displays on the Vendor Payments form. On this page, you print and assign numbers to the payments, download files for EFT payments, print and/or email remittances, print file copies of the payments, and post the payment run to your general ledger.

Other Actions

Click Other Actions and then select one of the following actions:

  • Bank Cash Requirements: This opens the Bank Cash Requirements dialog box, which shows you the amount of cash needed to pay the vouchers in the payment run. If more than one bank is being used to pay the vouchers in the run, you see the cash amounts required from each bank.
  • Delete Run: This deletes the payment run that you have open on the Vendor Payments form. On the Delete Run dialog box that asks you if you want to delete the selected run, click Yes. When you delete a run, it is permanently deleted in Vantagepoint. The vouchers become available again to pay in Vendor Payments. You will see a deleted run in Transaction Center > Posting Review with a status of Canceled.
  • Cash Requirements Report: This lets you run, schedule, or email the Cash Requirements report for this vendor payment run. On the Cash Requirements dialog box, select options for the report content, such as the grouping, level of detail, and layout of the report. The report lists each invoice and AP voucher amount to be paid in the payment run for each vendor, as well as a final total amount. For more information, see Cash Requirements Report.

Grid Row Tools

Field Description
Hover over a row in the grid and click this icon at the end of a row to open the Select Vouchers to Pay dialog box. On the dialog box, select the AP vouchers to pay for a vendor in this payment run. After you select the check box at the beginning of the row for each AP voucher to pay and click Close, you are returned to the Vendor Balances grid. You now see the total amount of the vouchers to pay for a vendor in the Payment Amount field in a vendor's row. You also see the total payment amount for run at the bottom of the Payment Amount column. You can also click the number in the Payment Amount field to open the Select Vouchers to Pay dialog box and then select or remove a voucher from the payment run.

Grid Fields

The following are descriptions for all possible fields that you can add to the grid using on the grid toolbar.

Field Description
Number This field displays a vendor's number.
Name This field displays a vendor's name as a hyperlink. Click the name to open an info bubble that provides more information about the vendor.
Payment Currency

This field displays if you use multiple currencies. This field shows the currency code of the currency to use to pay the selected vendor in the grid.

When you create a voucher, you specify a bank code for the bank from which to pay the voucher. The bank code determines the currency in which the payment is made to the vendor.

It is possible for a vendor to have AP vouchers with different payment currencies that are selected to be paid in the same payment run. In this scenario, the vendor will have separate rows in the Vendor Balances grid for each currency. For example, if a vendor has three AP vouchers that are set to be paid in USD currency and four AP vouchers set to be paid in EUR currency, the vendor will have one row in the grid for the USD currency balance for the three vouchers and one row for the EUR currency balance for the four vouchers.

Balance

This field displays the unpaid monetary balance that you owe the vendor. If you use multiple companies, the balance is for the vendor for the active company.

If you use multiple currencies:

The balance amount displays in the payment currency for the AP vouchers, which is identified in the Payment Currency field in the grid.

Payment Amount

This field displays zeros when you have not selected any AP vouchers to pay for a vendor. Click the zeros hyperlink, or any amount that is displayed in this field (if you already selected vouchers to pay), to open the Select Vouchers to Pay dialog box. On the dialog box, select the vouchers to include in the payment run for a vendor, or remove vouchers to be paid in the payment run. Another way to open the Select Vouchers to Pay dialog box is to hover over a row in the Vendor Balances grid and click at the end of the row. After you select or remove vouchers for payment on the dialog box and you return to the Vendor Balances grid, the Payment Amount field displays the total amount of the vouchers selected to pay for the vendor.

If you use multiple currencies:

It is possible for a vendor to have AP vouchers with different payment currencies that are selected to be paid in the same payment run. In this scenario, the vendor will have separate rows in the Vendor Balances grid for each currency. For example, if a vendor has three AP vouchers that are set to be paid in USD currency and four AP vouchers set to be paid in EUR currency, the vendor will have one row in the grid for the USD currency balance for the three vouchers and one row for the EUR currency balance for the four vouchers.

The amount in the Payment Amount field displays in the payment currency for the AP vouchers, as identified in the Payment Currency field in the grid.

Payment Amount Column Total The total payment amount for all vouchers selected for the payment run displays in bold at the bottom on the Select Vouchers page below the Payment Amount column. If you use multiple currencies and there is a mix of currencies in the Payment Amount column, no total displays for the column.

Grid Columns that Apply Only for Wires and Direct Debits

These fields display in the grid only for payment runs with a payment type of Wire or Direct Debit.

Field Description
Bank Amount

This field displays if you use multiple currencies and the payment type is Wire or Direct Debit. This field shows the total monetary amount to pay for the selected AP vouchers for the selected vendor, in the currency of your bank that is making the payments.

For wires and direct debits, after you select an AP voucher to be paid for a vendor, all subsequently selected vouchers must match the payment currency of the first selected voucher and then match the bank's currency of the first selected voucher.

It is possible that the bank amount and the payment amount differ. An example of this is when a vendor occasionally wants to get paid in a different currency than your bank's usual currency. In this scenario, you might use your bank's online portal to wire the payment in a different currency than your bank's usual currency.

Bank Currency

This field displays if you use multiple currencies and the payment type is Wire or Direct Debit. This field shows the currency code of the bank that is selected for the payment run.

Wire Details

This field displays if you use multiple currencies and the payment type is Wire.

If the bank amount and payment amounts are in the same currencies and there is an exchange rate identified, click the Defined hyperlink in this field to open the Wire Settings dialog box and view and/or edit information on the dialog box.

If the bank amount and payment amount for a row in the grid do not have the same currencies and no exchange rate is identified, click the Missing hyperlink in this field to enter an exchange rate.

Direct Debit Details

This field displays if you use multiple currencies and the payment type is Direct Debit.

If the bank amount and payment amount for a row in the grid have the same currencies and there is an exchange rate identified, click the Defined hyperlink in this field to open the Direct Debit Settings dialog box and view and/or edit information on the dialog box.

If the bank amount and payment amount for a row in the grid do not have the same currencies and no exchange rate is identified, click the Missing hyperlink in this field to enter an exchange rate.
