Background: AP Payment Register

Use the AP Payment Register (NCR) program to print the AP Payment Register and update the general ledger. See Road Map for work flow.

Alternate Payments

When you select an alternate payment batch, the AP Payment Register creates an invoice for the credit card company or electronic funds transfer processor. The next time you run Vendor Payments, you will be able to select this invoice for payment.

If you do not want to use this feature, leave the Vendor number field in the AP Payment Method Codes Maintenance (TAPM) program blank.

Post Check Register Cash by Payment Number

If you select the System Options (XM) (Accounts Payable Options) Post ck register cash by payment no? option, it will be easier to reconcile the bank account when using the GL Activity Inquiry (GTL) program instead of the bank reconciliation system.

When active, the AP Payment Register (NCR) overrides the general ledger journal detail key for the cash account only and uses the payment number instead of the vendor/invoice number. The AP transactions and the discount transactions are still in invoice number detail, to match up with the NR postings (so you see both a debit and a credit of the same amount). Note that the reference for the payment transaction still includes an invoice number; it is just the first invoice that was paid.
