2.3.4.2.6 - UPDATE & CHEQUES CREDITOR PAYMENTS BATCH
USAGE: To apply the payments batch and print cheques.
DISCUSSION: When you start the UPDATE CREDITOR PaYMENTS BATCH
program, the computer will ask you to enter the starting cheque number. This is
the first cheque number used (inclusive). HiFinance will then update every
non-zero entry on the payments batch file using one cheque number per Creditor.
This function will print a cheque for each Creditor
paid. The format of the report depends on the options set in SYSTEM DEFAULTS. When complete, the
batch payments file will be deleted and you will be returned to CREDITOR BATCH PAYMENTS MENU.
Files updated by the Creditor Payments program:
Creditor
master-file: The Creditor’s balance will
be decreased by the total of the WILL
PAY and DISCOUNT TAKEN fields.
Creditor
transaction-file: A receipt
transaction is created to match the total value.
General
Ledger master-file: The Trade Creditors,
Cash-at-Bank and Discounts Taken accounts are updated.
General
Ledger transaction-file: A
