Post a Vendor Payment Run

You post a vendor payment run in the Vendor Payments application after you select vouchers, print and assign numbers to payments, download files for SEPA or ClieOp EFTs, print and/or email remittances, and print file copies of payments.

These instructions apply for manual and automatic payment runs and for all types of payments: check, EFTs (ACH/NACHA, SEPA, and ClieOp), wires, and direct debits. You select the processing type and payment type on the New Payment Run page of the Vendor Payments form when you create a new run.

Prerequisites: You must have completed the following steps in Cash Management > Vendor Payments:

1. Create a Vendor Payment Run or Open an Existing Vendor Payment Run that is not posted yet.
2. Select Vouchers to Pay in a Manual Vendor Payment Run or Select Vouchers to Pay in an Automatic Vendor Payment Run.
3. Process a Vendor Payment Run After You Select Vouchers.

To post a vendor payment run:

1. Open the Printing and Numbering page in Cash Management > Vendor Payments.

   This page opens when you do either of the following:

   • On the Select Vouchers page of the Vendor Payments form, after you select and review the vouchers pay in the run, click the Process Payments action, and then click Proceed on the Warning dialog box.
   • On the Vendor Payments form, use the search field to open a payment run whose current step is to print vouchers. In the search results list, these payment runs have the word Printing after the run number and date.
2. After you print payments, assign numbers to the payments, download a file to send to your bank (for SEPA or CLieOp EFTs), print and/or email remittances, and print file copies, complete one of the following on the Printing and Numbering page:
   • Click the Post Payments action to post the vendor payment run immediately.
   • Click Other Actions > Schedule to schedule the posting to occur at a future time.

   When a vendor payment run is posted:

   • The payments are posted to the general ledger.
   • You cannot reprint checks.
3. If there are ACH (NACHA) EFT payments in the run, after the posting is complete, complete the information on the Electronic Files page that is displayed, to create the NACHA-formatted file to send to your bank to make the payments.

Next Steps:

• You can review the posting log in Transaction Center > Posting Review. The type of log is Vendor Payments.
• If there are ACH (NACHA) EFT payments in the run: Download the File to Send to Your Bank for ACH (NACHA) Payments.
