The Check Run screen provides a User with a list of Approved AP Invoices. The User can then apply AP Credit Memos & Discounts, create AP Payments, print checks, and produce ACH and Positive Pay exports for selected invoices. Click here for more information on the Check Run Overview.

Create Checks



Upon selecting all Invoices that will be paid, the User clicks on 'Create Checks' to open the Payments Created prompt. Within the prompt various actions are available depending on the Invoices that were selected to be paid. Certain prerequisites are required in order to produce all of the output that is available on the 'Payments Created' prompt.


Note: If Invoices that have a Payment Method of 'CC' or 'ADD' are the only invoices selected, the Check Run will create the AP Payments, then display the 'Print More Checks' prompt (described below). The User will not see the 'Payments Created' prompt as no further actions can be taken on 'CC' and 'ADD' Vendor payments.

Separate Remittance Prompt



When a check is printed, the AP Invoice Number(s) that is/are being paid is printed on each check stub (check stub form). Depending on your Vendor Settings for 'Payment Per Invoice', if more than 16 invoices for the same Vendor are paid on the same check, a separate Remittance must be generated as the stub can only contain up to 16 lines. This prompt will load automatically, as shown above.


Print More Checks Prompt



Upon closing the 'Payments Created' prompt, the User will be prompted if they would like to create more checks, or rather, start a new Check Run.
