Payments Grid Columns

Field	Description
Bank	This column displays the bank code.
Payee	This column identifies the recipient of the payment. The payee is from the Address 1 or Name field of the vendor record or the Payment Payee field in Configuration > Accounting > System AP or the Accounts Payable tab of Configuration > Accounting > Company AP.
Amount	This field displays the amount of the payment. If you use the Multicurrency feature, the amount is expressed in the bank's currency.
Sequence	This field displays the sequence number for the payment processing run.
EFT	The field displays an asterisk if the line represents an electronic payment. A check that is both a partial printed check and a partial EFT is considered to be a printed check and not an EFT check. If the EFT and Email Remittance fields each have an asterisk, then the vendor or employee is eligible to receive an email remittance.
Payment	This field displays the number that you assigned to the payment. If automatic transaction numbering is enabled for the bank, the payment number is automatically assigned. You specify automatic numbering settings on the Transaction Auto Number tab of Configuration > Accounting > System Settings.
Email Remittance	This field displays an asterisk if the payee is configured to receive an email remittance. Otherwise, the field is blank. The field only displays if the payment processing run was created as a Direct Deposit or EFT check run. If the EFT and Email Remittance fields each have an asterisk, then the vendor or employee is eligible to receive an email remittance.

When you click Edit Memo, the Text Editor dialog box displays, and you can enter information such as your account number with this vendor or other internal data.
