Pay Group (AP01.1)

Use Pay Group (AP01.1) to define and maintain pay groups, which are used to process accounts payable payments. A pay group lets you create a single payment for a vendor to pay invoices received by multiple accounts payable companies and process levels. This feature lets you process payments higher than a company level.

A pay group is made up of one posting company and any number of invoice companies and process levels. The posting company and all invoice companies must have the same base currency, and all invoice companies must belong to the same vendor group.

More Information

Carefully consider your processing needs when you define your pay groups and your company structure. When you define your company structure, you assign each company and, optionally, each process level, to a pay group. You can assign a company and all of its process levels to the same group, assign each process level to a different pay group, create groups of process levels across companies, or group process levels however you need to process payments.

Use the Main tab to assign a general ledger posting company, vendor group, cash code, and default payment code. To define bill of exchange processing options, use the Options tab.

To define electronic payment processing information, click the Payment ID button to open the Electronic Transfer Identification subform.

To define optional security for the pay group, click the Security button to open the Pay Group Security subform.
