Stamping Payment Transactions
A payment stamp is used to group together a set of transactions for payment, and ensure all the transactions involved in the payment are easily identified. It does this by including the same payment stamp on all of the transactions involved, that is the transactions that have been paid and the payment transaction itself.
Two steps are involved in using this facility:
- Firstly, you must manually assign a unique payment stamp to the account transactions you want to group together for payment.
- Then, when these transactions are selected for payment, Payment Run assigns the same payment stamp to the cash payment transactions it generates. It produces separate payment documents and payment transactions for each payment stamp. A payment stamp is a sequential number prefixed by P, for example P152. The format of this stamp and the next available stamp is determined by the system.
