Description

SoftLedger creates payment objects when a Bill is paid (either through applying a Vendor Credit or paying with manual or batch option). You can see a list of payments under Cash Management>Pay Bills>Payments. This list can be used to get payment amounts by Vendor, Ledger Account (if representing a Bank Account), etc. for further review of payments made for your operations.

Columns

The following information is available for payment objects:

  • ID - Unique identifier for the payment.

  • Type - The type of payment: "Vendor Credit", "Manual", "Check", and "AP Refund". Batch Payments appear in their own tab in this section.

  • Status - Current status of the payment: "Created", "Approved", or "Voided".

  • Location - Entity associated with the payment.

  • Bill - Bill associated with AP payment.

  • Vendor - the Vendor being paid.

  • Vendor Credit - Linked vendor credit used for the Payment

  • Payment Date - Transaction date of the payment, for checks this will be the date on the check.

  • Posted Date - Date the check will be posted to the ledger.

  • Memo - Brief text about payment. For checks this will show on the check memo line.

  • Check Number - For sent checks, this is the auto-created check number. For printed checks this is manually assigned by the user.

  • Amount - Total amount of the payment.

Individual Payment Actions

  • Approve - Confirms the payment and updates the associated documents (e.g Bills or Invoices). For check payments, this will mail the check.

  • Edit - For a "Created" payment, you can modify some details of the payment.

  • Print Check - Approved manual payments can be printed as checks.

  • Void - "Approved" payments can be voided. This will reverse the approval.

  • Delete - "Created" payments can be deleted.

Payment Table Actions

Bulk select 1-1,000 payments to access those same options for acting upon multiple payments at once.
