Review the Vouchers Automatically Selected to Pay by Printed Checks

Review the automatically selected AP vouchers to be paid before you process the payment run. If needed, you can remove vouchers, add vouchers, and/or specify the partial payment of a voucher.

Only the vouchers you select whose vendors do not have electronic payment information set up for them on the Vendors tab in the Firms hub will be paid by check.

Prerequisite: Create a vendor payment run for printed checks and set the Process Type field to Automatic on the New Payment Run page. In the Automatic Selections section, enter the criteria for automatically selecting the AP vouchers to pay in the run.

To review AP vouchers that were selected automatically to pay in a vendor payment run and make modifications to the selection:

  1. Open the Select Vouchers page of the Vendor Payments form in Cash Management > Vendor Payments.
    This page opens when you do either of the following:
    • On the New Payment Run page of the Vendor Payments form, after you enter the information to create a new payment run (with an Automatic process type and selection criteria entered), click the Create New Run action.
    • On the Vendor Payments form, enter a complete or partial name or number in the Find payment run lookup field to find and open a saved automatic payment run in which the current step is to select vouchers. In the search results list, these payment runs have the words Selecting Auto after the run number and date.
    In the Vendor Balances grid on the Select Vouchers page, you see only the vendors who have vouchers that are automatically selected to pay in the payment run when the Vendors with Payments Only toggle on the grid toolbar is turned on. Turn the toggle off if you want the grid to display all vendors with vouchers ready to pay, whether or not they have vouchers automatically selected to pay.
  2. To review the vouchers that are automatically selected to pay for a vendor: Turn on the Vendors with Payments Only toggle.
  3. Click the vendor's row in the Vendor Balances grid, and click at the end of the row.
  4. In the grid in the Select Vouchers to Pay dialog box, review the vouchers selected to pay, complete any of the following to make changes, and then click Close:

    2. Click at the end of the row for any vendor.
    3. On the Select Vouchers to Pay dialog box, complete the appropriate actions outlined in step 4.
    4. Repeat steps b and c for other vendors.
    5. Click Close to return to the Select Vouchers page.
