Using Payment Run

Payment Run (PYR) is used to generate automatic payments for your creditor/payables accounts, or client accounts with credit balances. When you use payment run you must identify a payment profile. This profile contains selection criteria that can determine the transactions selected for payment and also controls the payment production.

Note: If payment run is initiated from a control desk rather than from the SunSystems menu, the transactions considered for payment are those selected on the control desks in-tray rather than those identified by the payment profile selection criteria.

If payment run is initiated from the SunSystems menu, it begins by using the payment profile and run time selection criteria to identify the accounts to be considered for payment. It then uses the criteria to select the transactions to be paid on these accounts. See 'How Transactions are Selected for Payment or Collection'.

Payment run always produces the payment run details report. If Post Transactions is set to Yes, it also generates and posts the requested payments. See Understanding Payment Run for a more information on the tasks it performs.

See 'Initiating a Payment Run' for the steps required to run Payment Run.
