AP Prepare Payments Automatically window
After you enter and post bills, you can either automatically generate payments or individually choose which bills to pay. You can generate automatic payments based on the due date or discount date range. You can make changes to the generated transactions before you continue.
Check Date 
Select the payment transaction date (check date). This date will be used in conjunction with the dates in the Due Date Start and End range to determine the payments that should be paid with this process.
Exclude Vendors Without Discounts 
Select this check box if you want to only generate payments for bills that have an early payment discount within the date range you specify. The Due Date field will change to Discount Due Date if you select this check box.
If you leave this check box unchecked, the system will generate payment transactions for all bills that are due within the date range you specify.
You cannot check this check box if you want to import payments from ArcBill.
Import Payments from ArcBill 
This check box is only available if integration to ArcBill is set up and the Exclude Vendors Without Discounts check box is not checked. Select this check box if you want to import payments from ArcBill.
Check Payments 
Select this check box to generate transactions for payments that will be made by check. When this check box is selected, vendors who have not been set up for EFT payments will be automatically chosen to be paid by check. If you only want to make electronic payments, not check payments, deselect the check box. This check box is not available if you select the Import Payments from ArcBill check box.
Electronic Payments 
Select this check box to generate transactions for payments made by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). When you select this check box, the system generates payments for vendors that are set up for EFT. If you only want to make check payments, not electronic payments, deselect the check box. This check box is not available if you select the Import Payments from ArcBill check box.
Date Range 
Use this drop-down to speed up the reporting process when you select a predefined period of time in which to run the report. For more information on the date range options available, see Working with Date Ranges.
Start and End Range: Due Date/Payment Date / Discount Due Date / Vendor Number / AP Code 
Enter the ranges for the due date, discount due date, vendor number, and AP Code for which you would like to generate payment transactions. The system will generate payment transactions for bills that will be due on or between the ranges.
Leave the defaults of the Start and End boxes to generate payments for all the transactions that meet the rest of the criteria in the window.
The Payment Date date range is only available if you select the Import Payments from ArcBill check box. The discount due date range will only be available if you selected the Use Discount Date check box in this window. The AP Code range will only be available if you have more than one AP Code set up on the system.
