Automatic Payment Transactions

Vendor line item entry with payment and printing

In this process, you will complete a payment transaction automatically.

You should first enter some vendor invoices so that there are enough due payables available in the system. In order to reduce the work you need to do, we have created a CATT (Computer Aided Test Tool) that generates invoices automatically when activated.

Secondly, you will create a payment program and enter the parameters necessary for selecting the items to be paid.

Next, you will execute a payment proposal list and check its log. You will find that some items are blocked for payment. You will need to update the list in order to remove the block.

Later, you will start an actual run. Then you will set the print program so that the payment forms and accompanying payment advice notes and payment summaries are correctly assigned to the payment run. Finally, you will print the payment forms. If you are using North American data, you will then need to analyze the check register.

Because of fundamental differences between payment transactions in Europe and in North America, parts of the last two steps are only relevant for North America and are marked accordingly.
