You use this program to create and maintain payment runs for processing payments to your suppliers.
The program enables you to create and run multiple payment runs simultaneously. Each payment run is assigned a unique payment run number and is created for a single bank, currency and payment type. You can therefore never have a single payment run containing payments from different banks, different currencies or different payment types.
This program controls the entire supplier payment cycle and enables you to:
process EFTs (Electronic Funds Transfers)
If a General Ledger account used in this program requires General Ledger analysis (General Ledger Codes or GL Structure Definition), then the GL Analysis program is displayed when you post the transaction, enabling you to enter the analysis details or to select to enter them later (see General Ledger Integration). General Ledger analysis entries are always distributed in the local currency, irrespective of the currency in which the original transaction is processed.

Execute Payment Run | Select this to use the Execute AP Payment Run program
to pay the invoices you released for payment. This option is only enabled if the payment run is in a status of Open and invoices have been released for the run. When you select this option, the system compares the posting period of the payment run to the posting period against the invoices to be paid. Any invoice with a posting period after (later than) the payment run period is ignored and removed from the payment run. |
Print Checks/Remittances | Select this to use the AP Check and Remittance Print program
to print checks and/or remittance advices for invoices that
have been paid. If your payment run is for Manual Checks, then you do not need to run the AP Check and Remittance Print program (before running the AP Payment Register program), unless you want to produce remittance advices for the manual checks. When processing system checks, you can only reprint checks as long as you have not printed the Payment Register for those checks. Remittances can, however, be reprinted when the Payment Register has been printed and the payment run is in a status of Complete. EFT remittances can be reprinted after the Payment Register has been printed. To reprint checks/remitances, you need to select the Payment Run Maintenance option form the Functions menu. |

If your run numbers are set to automatic and you enter a non-existent run number, an error message is displayed indicating that the run number is not on file. To add a new payment run, you need to use the Add option on the toolbar or the Add New Payment Run option from the File menu. If you enter an existing payment run number, the program assumes you want to maintain that payment run. Payment run numbers are allocated according to the numbering method defined for payment runs (Accounts Payable Setup - Numbering tab). All payments within a payment run are created for a single bank, currency and payment type (i.e. a payment run cannot contain payments from different banks or for different currencies or payment types). You cannot maintain an EFT payments type payment run if the activity: AP EFT Supplier invoice payment is denied against your operator code (Operator Maintenance - Security). In addition, you cannot maintain a payment run to which you do not have access according to the Operator group defined against that payment run. |

Supplier | This indicates the supplier for the invoice you are maintaining. | ||||
Invoice | This indicates the number of the released invoice you are maintaining. | ||||
Gross payment | Enter the new gross payment value for the
invoice. Changing the invoice payment amount is typically done to process a prepayment to the supplier on a zero value invoice. |
||||
Discount amount | Enter the settlement discount amount for the
invoice. The Tax on settlement discount fields are not enabled when this value is zero. |
||||
Tax on settlement discount | This section is only enabled when the Discount amount is not zero. | ||||
Tax code | This is the tax code to use to calculate the Tax portion on
the settlement Discount amount. This defaults

(Accounts Payable Setup) but can be changed. This can be a valid tax code or spaces. When the code is spaces, the Tax portion is not included on the Tax Return report.
|
||||
Tax portion |
This indicates the tax amount applicable to the settlement Discount amount. It is automatically calculated by the system based on the Default tax code (Accounts Payable Setup). The rate to use is determined by the Calculate tax using historical rates option. When this option is enabled, the Invoice date is used to ascertain the tax rate at that date. When this option is disabled, the current tax rate against the tax code is used (Tax Codes Setup).
The Tax portion is not automatically calculated when you manually enter a Tax code. You need to use the Calculate function to calculate the appropriate Tax portion. The Tax portion reduces the Discount amount posted to the General Ledger. Example: The supplier takes a 10 pound discount on a payment inclusive of tax. The tax is 10%. The tax portion (0.91) reflects as tax on settlement discount in the ledger. The discount portion is reduced by the tax amount and is therefore calculated as 10 - 0.91 = 9.09 (i.e. Discount amount less Tax portion of settlement discount). This field is only available for a local currency payment run and when the setup option: Settlement discount - Request tax amount is enabled (Accounts Payable Setup - Tax tab).

||||
QST portion |
This indicates the QST tax amount applicable to the settlement Discount amount. It is automatically calculated by the system based on the Default QST code (Accounts Payable Setup). The rate to use is determined by the Calculate tax using historical rates option. When this option is enabled, the Invoice date is used to ascertain the QST rate at that date. When this option is disabled, the current tax rate against the QST code is used (Tax Codes Setup). The QST portion is not automatically calculated when you manually enter a QST code. You need to use the Calculate function to calculate the appropriate QST portion.
The formulae for this calculation are as follows:
This field is only displayed when all of the following apply:
