Bill of Exchange Entry (AP56.1)

Use Bill of Exchange Entry (AP56.1) to enter a vendor-issued bill of exchange or create a manual bill of exchange payment.

More Information

After you enter the bill of exchange on this form, click the Invoices button to open Bill of Exchange Invoice Application (AP56.2) to apply the bill of exchange to one or more invoices. Then, return to AP56.1 to release the bill of exchange. The total invoice amount applied must equal the bill of exchange payment amount before you can release a bill of exchange. To release a bill of exchange, select the Release form action.

Note: You can also use Invoice Entry (AP20) to enter a vendor-issued bill of exchange or create a manual bill of exchange payment for a single invoice. When you release an invoice containing the bill of exchange payment, you can view or delete the application in AP56.1, but cannot change the application.

Vendor-issued and manual bill of exchange payments are not scheduled by Bill of Exchange Generation (AP151) or do not have payments created in Bill of Exchange Creation (AP156).
