Selecting Invoices for Payment
Users can create a new workfile of creditors invoice/s for payment by clicking the New Workfile button. A description can be given to the new workfile or left blank if no description is required. Users can select a currency and enter an exchange rate. (Only invoices processed in this currency will be able to be selected in the workfile. The exchange rate entered is used when calculating the AUD amounts for the payments). Multiple workfiles can be created for different purposes, for example EOM payments can be prepared ahead of time and saved and another workfile can be created for weekly creditors payments.
Enter the Vendor code into the Vendor field to select the first vendor to pay, highlight individual or multiple invoices and click Select or double click the invoice/s to be selected for payment, repeat this process to add another Vendor's invoice/s to the selected workfile.
Alternatively users can select a range of invoices to pay based on selected parameters by clicking on the Auto Select Invoices button.
Selecting a range of parameters in the Auto Select Invoices button, will return a result of all outstanding Vendor invoices that meet the selected criteria.
By right clicking each vendor, users can set the priority for payment (Very High, High, Normal, Low, Very Low), remove the entire vendor from the workfile and mark the vendor as reconciled (This allows you to flag a Vendor when you have reconciled to their statement ready for payment in the workfile. Adding additional invoices or deselecting invoices from a vendor marked as reconciled will unmark them as reconciled). (These options are all optional and can be performed at users discretion).
When all payments have been entered for the selected workfile users will be required to save before exiting, this can be done in two ways - Save Workfile and Exit - This will save but not lock the workfile therefore allowing amendments of the workfile at a later date (Users would select this option if they were waiting on approval of the Print Approve to Pay Report to be approved or wanting to complete at a later date).
Save and Lock Workfile - This option will save and lock the workfile with a pop up asking users if they would like to process/finalise the payments now, by clicking No users will be able to process the payments at a later date or amend if required (amendments will require the password of users who locked the original workfile). By clicking Yes users will be navigated to the Process Creditors Payments program. Please refer to Process Creditors Payments for more information.
