Modifying advanced pay batches – An overview
You can retrieve the details of the amount to be paid in each of the currencies; the bank/cash codes for the currency and the current balance in the bank and modify these details. You can also retrieve the net balance of the bank or the cash account.
The bank/cash details for every pay currency are used to calculate the total amount to be paid to the supplier in base currency and transaction currency. Payment vouchers are then generated based on these details. The system updates the status of the pay batch to “Fresh”. The corresponding payment vouchers are also generated in the “Fresh” status.
This page also allows you to authorize the pay batch during the modification process. The system updates the status of the pay batch and the corresponding payment vouchers to “Requested”.
This page also allows you to delete the pay batches that are no longer required. The system updates the status of the pay batch and the corresponding payment vouchers to “Deleted”. The system also stores the login ID of the user and the system date along with these details.
