Bill of Exchange Generation (AP151)
Run Bill of Exchange Generation (AP151) to schedule invoices that are to be paid with a bill of exchange and to generate bills of exchange for the invoices selected. AP151 selects invoices by due date as well as invoices marked for immediate payment.
The form creates a listing of the number of invoices selected and bills of exchange generated. The listing also indicates which individual bills of exchange are for pay vendors that share multiple invoiced vendors.
More Information
If you run AP151 with No in the Update field, the form creates a listing of invoices that are scheduled for payment. If the listing includes invoices you do not want scheduled for payment in the current payment cycle, you have several options to prevent these invoices from being selected.
- Change invoice due dates on Payment Schedule Adjustment (AP30.3). Re-run AP151 with No in the Update field.
- Place selected invoices or vendors on hold on Hold Selection (AP40). Re-run AP151 with No in the Update field.
- Assign a user-defined invoice group to the invoices you want scheduled for payment on Payment Schedule Adjustment (AP30.3). Run AP151 for the invoice group.
- Assign a pay immediately indicator to the invoices you want scheduled for payment on Payment Schedule Adjustment (AP30.3) or Invoice Hold Selection (AP40.1). Run AP151 with Yes in the Pay Immediately Only field.
Remember, as long as you select No in the Update field, you can make changes and rerun AP151 as many times as needed until the listing includes only the invoices you want scheduled for payment. Select Yes in the Update field to actually select invoices and generate bills of exchange.
After you generate bills of exchange by selecting Yes in the Update field, run Bill of Exchange Creation (AP156) to print bills of exchange.
