Understanding Print Sequences

The payment sequence option enables you to control the order in which your payments print. You can print payments in a sequence that is meaningful to your needs. For example, you might want payments to print in descending order by amount so that the largest payment amounts print first, or you might want to print payments alphabetically. You control the payment sequence by setting up sequence IDs on the Automatic Payment Setup menu. The sequence IDs establish the printing order and can contain up to six data items from fields in the AP payments worktable.

You must define a sequence ID for each different print sequence that you use. When you create your payment groups, you specify which sequence to use in the sequence ID processing option and whether the values for the sequence should print in ascending or descending order.

To print payments based on criteria that is outside of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable system, use special handling codes. Special handling codes are user-defined and assigned at the time of voucher entry. Use them to sort payments by including them in your sequence ID.
