Payment Closing (AP170)

Run Payment Closing (AP170) to complete a cash payment cycle for a pay group. This is the last form in the payment cycle. Make sure you are satisfied with your cash payment run before you close the payment cycle. Once you close the cash payment cycle, you cannot reprint bad payment forms or recreate a payment tape or electronic payment file.

AP170 creates a summary payment listing, a listing of recurring invoices, and a summary of general ledger transactions.

Processing Effect

AP170 creates general ledger entries for cash, discount, reportable income withholding, currency gain and loss, and payment accrual transactions. If a recurring invoice was processed in the payment cycle, AP170 creates the next recurrence. If a prepayment or employee advance was processed, AP170 creates the offsetting credit memo. AP170 removes temporary hold codes from vendors and invoices, updates vendor balances to reflect payments made, and changes paid invoices to historical status making them unavailable for further maintenance. AP170 also creates offsetting tax recovery entries, if applicable.
