After you update automatic payments to the A/P tables, you must approve the batch and post the general ledger.

You do not need to approve payment batches if:

• The management approval constant is not activated.

• You submit the post automatically from Work with Payment Groups.

All JD Edwards World journal review programs work in the same way. The Automatic Payment Review program displays batches with a batch type of K (automatic payments).

32.3 Posting Automatic Payments

The post program for automatic payments creates payment disbursement entries and offset entries to the general ledger for the payable account. The system typically debits an A/P liability account and credits a cash (or bank) account.

All JD Edwards World post programs post to the G/L in the same way. The post program for automatic payments has the processing option for batch selection set to K (automatic payments). You should not change this.

If you want to post payments automatically, you can change a processing option for Work with Payment Groups to post payments after updating them to the A/P ledger.

You cannot review account ledger information until the post is complete. After you post payments, you can review the accounting distribution information.
