Suggest Bank Payments Batch Job

Processes open vendor ledger entries, which result from posting invoices, finance charge memos, credit memos, and payments. The batch job creates payment suggestions as lines in a payment journal.

Only vendor entries that are not marked as On Hold are included in the batch job. You can run the batch job to include payments for which you can obtain a discount.

You can also use the combine foreign payments feature to post transactions as a bundle. For more information, see Suggest Vendor Payments.
