Additional Fields
Payment Method:
You can choose the relevant payment method for the selected bills. The options include credit card, check and EFT (Electronic Fund Transfer).
In case of multiple vendor bills having
the same vendor, Web Suite is smart enough to combine the payment onto
a single check. The check contains the sum of pay amounts for all related
checks.
To be Printed:
You can select this option if your payment method is 'Check' and you would like to print it.
Assign Check Number:
You can select this option if your payment method is 'Check' and you would like to write a manual check. In that case, you can assign a check number to it rather than print it. When you save the payment, the Assign Check Number screen opens where you can associate a manual check number to the payment. This field is available only for Check pay method.
Payment Account:
The account you want to use to make a payment to the selected vendor (or employee). It can be a bank or credit card account. The ending balance of the selected account is displayed so that you can see whether payment can be made using that account or not.
Payment Date:
The date when the payment is made. You can select a date from the drop-down calendar. By default, today's date is pre-filled.
