More information

The Payables Management check stub displays the following information:

  • Invoices that are paid by a manual payment, a credit memo, or a return are displayed with a $0 remittance amount.
  • Manual payments, credit memos, and returns are displayed with a negative value and with a $0.00 remittance amount.
  • Invoices that are paid by a check are displayed with the appropriate remittance amount.

Manual payment, credit memo, and return information isn't printed on the computer check posting journal reports. During the posting process, the following vendor records are removed from the PM20000 (PM Transaction Open File) table and from the PM20100 (PM Apply To OPEN OPEN Temporary File) table:

  • Invoices that are paid in full during the Select Checks process
  • Manual payments, credit memos, and returns that are applied to invoices
  • Invoices that are paid in full by manual payments, credit memos, and returns
