Prepayments

If you wish to process a payment to a vendor that is not being applied to any posted invoices, such as a purchase deposit, you can create a payment transaction directly to the vendor account.

These payments must be made to existing vendors, and there is no grid to display selected invoices. Otherwise the payment is entered, printed and posted like other payments, creating a debit transaction that can be applied to an invoice in the future.

Reports

Whether a payment is applied to invoices or not, you can choose to print either a check or a remittance form to send to the vendor.

Checks

You can choose to print a 3-part check form, where the check portion is in either the top, middle or bottom part, and a check advice prints in the other two parts.

Remittances

You can choose to print or more likely email the remittance form to the vendor, indicating which invoices were paid. You might also choose to print this report if a payment has more details than would fit on a single advice form, thus preventing printing only multiple check forms and wasting stock.
