Pay group

Pay groups are portions of your organization that you group together for the purpose of payment processing. A pay group is made up of one general ledger posting company and any number of invoice companies and process levels. You must define at least one pay group. Pay groups are used for two key purposes:

Joining two or more companies for combined payment processing	A pay group lets you process payments at a higher level than the company level. This means that you can create one payment for a vendor to pay invoices for multiple companies and process levels.
Splitting a single company for autonomous payment processing	Pay groups also let you process payments by process level, giving autonomy to each process level for payment processing. This means that processing can be done on different schedules, and payments can be produced in smaller batches and in different locations.
