The AP Payment record contains all details related to a single payment. Here, users can edit details, attach documents, apply invoices, review distribution, approve the payment, and print checks.


AP payments can be created manually or through payment runs


Typically, AP payments are created through payment runs, and the manual payment form is only used when a check is printed before the AP invoice is entered into the system or when the payment was made using a payment method outside of Restaurant365.


Important Note: Voiding or deleting a payment after it is approved does not cancel the payment to the vendor, and the invoices that were previously associated with the payment will be available on future payment runs. If a payment was submitted in error, please contact R365 Support immediately so that it can be cancelled.
