When you run Pick Vouch/Inv to Pay, you can choose invoices for only one vendor at a time. Type a Vendor Code into the Vendor Code field and press ENTER or press F2 to use the vendor display option. If you list vendors, only those with outstanding balances will be displayed.

The next step is to choose which invoices/vouchers will be paid. do this by clicking on the invoice or press the enter key.

Paying All Invoices

You may choose to pay all outstanding invoices automatically by pressing the F3 key. The program automatically allows any discounts given for payment within a discount time frame.

Even after you choose this option you may still make changes to individual invoices/vouchers. Until you press the F10 key any changes may be made.

Choosing an Individual Invoice for Payment

To choose a specific invoice/voucher to be paid move the cursor to the appropriate line and press the ENTER key. The cursor will move to the Amount to be Paid field and the default value will be the amount remaining for the invoice/voucher. Press the ENTER key to accept this amount or enter a lower value. You cannot pay more than the remaining balance.

Next the cursor will move to the Discount Amount field. If a discount terms was set for this voucher/invoice and the current date is still within the appropriate range the discount amount will be automatically calculated. You can either accept this amount or put in your own figure. Again, the Amount to be Paid + Discount Amount cannot exceed the amount remaining for the invoice/voucher.

You can continue choosing invoices/vouchers to be paid, even making changes to the amounts previously chosen. When you are finished press the F10 key to save the entries.

You should run AP-E, Print Pro-forma Chk Reg after you run this program, and before you run AP-F, Print Checks. If you find that too many items have been marked for payment, you can rerun this program, using the Pro-forma Check Register to help you.

To change the items picked for payment for a particular vendor, enter the vendor code as though it were a new entry. When you select the vendor, all choices made previously are displayed. You may then make any changes necessary.

Any outstanding credit that you apply for payment is deducted from the check written. If the credit is equal to the amount marked to pay, those items will be cleared as though they were paid, but no check will be printed. The outstanding invoice and credit amounts in the Vendor file are updated, and the A/P Transaction file's record of amounts remaining to be paid is updated.

You may rerun this program until you run AP-F, Print Checks.
