Payables

One of the newer features is Payables EDI. You can now pay your Suppliers through a credit card company.

Once you send an ePayment, the system will automatically create a temporary check to show that the Invoice is no longer outstanding. When payment is approved, the credit card company's message will appear in the Reference field on the Payables ยป Checks screen.
