Reviewing, Approving, and Posting Payments

After updating automatic payments to the AP ledger, you can verify their accuracy. If you use management approval, you can approve the payment batches before posting them to the general ledger.

When you post automatic payments, the system creates payment disbursement entries and offset entries to the general ledger for the payable account. The system creates journal entries (document types PK and PT) that debit the AP trade account that was originally credited when the voucher was posted. This keeps the AP trade accounts in balance. Posting automatic payments creates records in the F0911 table.

You can set a processing option in Work With Payment Groups program to automatically submit payments for posting to the general ledger after you update the F0411 table.

The following graphic illustrates the process when the system posts payments to the F0911 table:
