Auto Post Open Payment

Select this option on the Credit Card Interface Parameters form to automatically create an open payment in Accounts Receivable for the credit card payment amount. If you do not select this option, you must manually apply payment to a specific invoice.

If you select this option, the Accounts Receivable balance is immediately reduced. This is useful for Credit Card Interface users who do not want to run Quick Payment Application prior to posting the payment.

This option does not impact the collection of credit card information during order entry. It does impact credit card information that is collected after the sale using the A/R Collections process. The order entry process always applies the payment to the specific invoice as the invoice is generated.
