Batch Process Vouchers

This option is used to batch process vouchers due to be paid, generate disbursements for those vouchers, and print checks or issue electronic payments, depending on the voucher type. Select the vouchers to process by cash journal, due date, accounting month, and/or type of payee. After selecting the desired vouchers, view them, process them, and print the checks generated for them. If necessary, skip individual vouchers that should not be processed.

Note: The program allows you to print checks generated for vouchers through this option or the Print Checks option on the Accounts Payable window.
