Select Invoices - Direct Credit Payments

Refer to Direct Credit Payments Overview for information on this feature.

The process to select A/P invoices for payment by Direct Credit, is similar to the standard Select Invoices - Computer Checks option, except only suppliers flagged as eligible for Direct payment in Vendor Information, are considered for payment.

Re-occurring payment amounts are respected and are automatically selected for payment.

Once the invoices to be paid by Direct Credit payment have been selected, the edit report can be printed from Print Direct Payment Edit Report / Remittance Advice.
If the edit report is NOT accepted, the invoices can be re-selected again from SELECT INVOICES - DIRECT CREDIT PAYMENT.

Posting Control
The SELECT INVOICES FOR DIRECT PAYMENT program is designed to be run by one operator at a time.
If a second operator tries to select invoices for payment at the same time, or tries to print A/P or G/L Computer Checks at the same time, a warning will appear on the screen preventing the second user from proceeding. The conflict in posting is controlled by the Posting Control flag, which is set internally when the first operator initiated the posting process.

If for some reason, such as improper computer shutdown, the first operator has not exited the DIRECT PAYMENT program properly to release the program, then the Posting Control flag will not be reset automatically to allow the next person to run the posting for that batch. The operator will not be able to proceed until the flag is reset for this batch.

The operator will only be able to reset this Posting Control flag if he has permission to reset the A/P and G/L Checks flag as controlled by his Security Role that is defined in Operators.
Whenever the posting control flag for Direct Payments is reset, a record is written to the Delete Log for the Function APCH91A.
