Payment Batch

The Payment Batch page will display all suggested payments based on the options selected on the Payments Load page.   Open Vouchers with unpaid balances will be displayed and grouped by the WorkPlace Company Address (Payer), Vendor Remit To Address (the Payee), Source Company (when Inter-Company is licensed) and Currency (when Multi-Currency is licensed).  Transactions where the associated Vendor or Branch have not been enabled for Payments will never be loaded into a batch.
