Process payments (AP50301S)

This topic gives you information about the elements that you find in this window in Visma.net ERP, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes.

Introduction

Through this window, you can pay outstanding supplier documents by using the payment method associated with the specific cash account.

If the Require approval of invoices before paying check box in the Supplier ledger preferences (AP101000) window is selected, only approved invoices are visible in this window. If the check box is cleared, unapproved invoices will also be displayed.
A pay date is assigned to an invoice automatically according to the Payment by value for the supplier on the Payment settings tab of the Suppliers (AP303000) window.
The system groups the documents into a single payment for each supplier unless the Pay separately option is selected for a supplier; for such suppliers, a separate payment will be generated for each document.
