Select Yes [Y] if you want a separate check printed specifically for this voucher. If Default [blank] is selected, the system adds this voucher's amounts together with other vouchers for the same vendor (by check category) to obtain a combined voucher check amount.

If EFT is not set to Yes [Y] on any of the related Vendor Invoice (VI) documents or one or more payment voucher lines do not reference Vendor Invoice (VI) documents, you must manually set EFT to Yes [Y] on this document. If the vendor is eligible for electronic funds transfer and EFT is Default [blank] or there are no referenced Vendor Invoice (VI) documents, EFT defaults to Yes [Y] in the document header. When entering internal vouchers, select Default [blank] in this field.

If EPPV Requirements on EPS System Control Options (ESOP) is Yes [Y] the following description also applies. When blank and EFT is set to Yes [Y] , the application type is automatically taken from the referenced Vendor Invoice (VI), as long as the application types on all of the Vendor Invoice (VI) documents referenced on this payment voucher are the same.

If EFT is set to Yes [Y] and there are no Vendor Invoice (VI) documents to take the application type from, the application type is automatically taken from EFT Type on Vendor (VEN2), if one exists. Otherwise, the user must supply this field.

Scheduled Pay Date

Default automatically assigns a date according to the following rules:

If Scheduled Payment Day is entered on Vendor (VEN2) for this document's vendor, that value is used. The payment day is the day of the month when you want to pay this vendor. The system assigns the payment date using this day and the current month, or, if the resulting date has already passed, the next month.

System Payment Lag on System Control Options (SOP2) is used as the default if Scheduled Payment Day is blank on Vendor (VEN2). The payment lag is the number of days from the voucher date when you want to issue payment.

If both Scheduled Payment Day on Vendor (VEN2) and System Payment Lag on System Control Options (SOP2) are blank, then the system date is used.

Applies only to vouchers for outside vendors. Enter the date when you want the check for this payment voucher issued, if you want to override the system computed date.
