Vendor – Bill – Consolidate Pay
This menu option allows you to perform the Bill-Pay function for several vendors at the same time. All open payables for all vendors will be shown in a list.
Consolidated Bill Pay can be used when you are wanting to pay all vendors by a user-specified payable due date.  
Note:  Salesperson commission and sales tax payments will need to continue to be done through Vendor – Bill – Pay.

Select Function – Pay Vendors.
 
 
Select how these payments will be made from the Method drop down menu.  

When paying by vendor due date, check the box to Pay by Vendor due date and enter the appropriate date.   
 
 
Click the search button.
 
Based on your selections, the appropriate records in the list will be selected. You may also manually select/unselect payable records.
 
 
While selecting records, you can see the current bank balance along with running balances for discounts taken, payment amount and the bank balances less these payments.
 
Various information about each payable displays to the right of the vendor’s name.  Two columns include popups for Pay to Address and 1099 amounts.  A Memo column allows input for each vendor’s check.
 
 
The Negative Check column with a Yes in it indicates which selected records result in a negative vendor check. Vendor records must be unselected to remove those resulting in a negative check amount and to remove the validation prior to processing the check run.
 
 
The Printer icon allows viewing/printing the list of selected records at any time to review selected payments to each vendor. That list shows the records grouped by vendor.    This is also a good place to look for negative checks to know what needs to be unchecked to clear the validation.
 
 
Select Process and Yes to continue.
 
Process the checks in Bill – Checks.
