Pay Vendors Using Electronic Payments

In Business Central, you can pay a vendor using electronic payments. Payments will be exported to a file, which will then be transmitted to your bank. The bank then electronically transfers the payments from your bank account to the payee’s (vendor) bank account.

This process is similar to how computer checks are processed.

To pay a vendor electronically

  1. Choose the Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature icon, enter Payment Journals, and then choose the related link.

  2. Fill in the fields as described in the following table.

    Field Description
    Bank Payment Type Specify Electronic Payment to create a corresponding check ledger entry for the amount.
