There are five Accounts Payable Payments options available. They are accessed through Payments on the Accounts Payable Main Menu.

Select Invoices for Payment

This menu option allows the selection of invoices to be paid. If discounts are to be taken, this may also be specified. Invoices that have been paid by a hand-written check may be marked as paid. Partial payments or retainage payments may also be made. Final retainage payments may be made when a subcontract is completed.

Print Checks / Post Hand Payments

This program prints checks for all invoices and subcontractor vouchers that have been selected for payment and posts hand payments. Checks may be printed for a single vendor or for all vendors. Every invoice included in the payment will be printed on the check stub. If more invoices are being paid than will fit on one stub, a detailed listing will be printed on blank paper at the conclusion of the check run. A separate check is written for each subcontract.

Print Check Register

This program prints a listing of the checks that have been printed. A summary of the paid invoices is also printed.

Email Payment Notifications

Once checks have been printed, emails can be sent to the vendors for whom checks were printed, notifying them that the check has been written and is on its way.

Print Lien Waivers

The Lien Waiver program prints lien release forms, allowing the vendor or subcontractor to certify that payment was received thereby releasing the lien on the property.
