AP Adjust/Pay Bills window
Use this window to pay individual bills or make adjustments to payment transactions. You can also use this window to void checks, enter credit memos, and adjust the balances of vendor accounts. The window fields change depending on the Transaction Type you choose.
Tran # 
The system automatically generates a transaction number for each transaction in the batch. If this is the first transaction in the batch it will be transaction 1. This is for reference only and cannot be changed.
Transaction Type 
From the drop-down, select the type of transaction you want to process.
Payment: select this option if you want to make a payment, such as paying a bill. The payment type is the default for this window.
Payment Correction/Void: select this option if you want to void a posted payment, such as a check or an electronic payment. When you make a payment correction, the GL Cash Account/BR Bank Account is debited for the amount and the AP Control Account is credited for the amount.
Balance Adjustment: select this option if you want to correct a vendor balance, or record vendor debit or credit memos. You can apply the balance adjustment to a particular transaction or leave it as an unapplied transaction that increases or reduces your balance with the vendor, but does not change the balance of a particular posted transaction.

Pymt Correction - Credit Card: select this transaction type if you are entering a credit card adjustment.
