Process Groups (AP02.3)

Use Process Groups (AP02.3) to define a process group. A process group is an optional cash payment processing entity that lets you break a payment cycle into concurrent runs. Each process group represents one or more vendors. Without process groups, you need to complete payment and posting of the invoices you select for a pay run before you can select another set of invoices using different criteria. The overall effect of concurrent processing is reduced run time. Large organizations with high volume pay cycles will see the most benefit from process groups.
