Reviewing Vouchers Selected for Payment

After you complete the Payment Selection process, you might need to review the voucher payments that have been selected for payment, place certain payments on hold, temporarily exclude some from the pay cycle, enforce separate payments for some, or review total payment amounts for the pay cycle by various criteria before you proceed with the Payment Creation process and your output processes.

Action

Select an action to perform on a selected scheduled payment. This field is available only after you run Payment Selection and before you run Payment Creation. Actions include:

Exclude: Excludes the scheduled payment from the pay cycle. Unless you run a future pay cycle with a pay-from date that precedes the payment date on the excluded scheduled payment (and the payment meets the other selection criteria), this payment will not be picked up by a pay cycle again.

Hold: Holds the payment from continued processing by the pay cycle. This payment will not be selected by a pay cycle again until you release the hold.

Hold & Separate: Places the scheduled payment on hold and separate from any other payments to be paid to the same supplier from the same bank account and payment method.

None: Takes no action. The payment remains selected and subject to processing in the current pay cycle run.

Separate: Marks the scheduled payment to be paid separately from any other payments to this supplier from this bank account and payment method.

Note: The system automatically sets all prepayment vouchers with an action value of None to ensure correct processing. You cannot change this default setting.
