Pay a Producer/Broker Payable Statement
This action launches the Add
a Disbursement workflow and updates the statement’s Suspended
status to Finalized. Much of
the payment information defaults when you pay a statement from the Reconciliations
area, so very little manual data entry is required.
To pay multiple statements at the same time, use the Batch
Process Statements action.
Note: This
action cannot be used to pay statements with a Reversed
status of Processing, Failed,
or Reversed.
If the Journal
Entry Approval Process is enabled, only journal entries with an Approved or System
Approved status affect General Ledger balances and display on reconciliation
screens. Journal entries with a Working,
Submitted, or Rejected
status are excluded.
- Click the appropriate Statement
in the list, and then do one of the following:
- Click Actions
> Pay Statement on the options bar.
- Click Actions
> Pay Statement on the menubar.

and select Pay

Note:
No actions can be performed on statements containing archived transactions.
