This option allows you to print some or all of the documents selected for payment for checking purposes, (for example, have the right documents been selected, does the company have enough money to cover the total amount of the run, etc?]
To print selected documents:
From the Autoline Master menu select the Purchase Ledger option and the Company you require.
The PURCHASE LEDGER menu is displayed.
Select the Remittances & cheques option.
The REMITTANCES AND CHEQUES menu is displayed.
Select the Print selected documents option.
The Print selections for payment (PL) form is displayed.
The Print selections for payment (PL) form is displayed when the Remittances & cheques option is selected from the REMITTANCES AND CHEQUES menu. By filling the fields shown you may print the following ranges of documents on a 'from-to' basis:
For selected Accounts or for all Accounts.
Since this option is based on Report Generator selection methods, the full Account number must be entered in the box. The box is always eight characters in length, even if you have, for example, a three-digit account code. In a case like this, use only the first three spaces in the box.
For selected Area codes or for all Area codes
For selected Remittance Analysis codes or for all.
To check the Due dates for discounts.[in other words, override settlement terms]
Check priority status on a from/to basis.
To check the Currency codes.
BUTTONS:
OK: Prints the report to the currently selected printer.
Cancel: Returns you to the REMITTANCES AND CHEQUES menu.
Help: Displays help on the current application using the default browser.
Schedule: To schedule a report, you must enter the relevant selection criteria, then click the Schedule button. This brings up the Timed Operations form, and from there you can add the report to run at a time and frequency that is convenient. For more information, refer to Batch Printing.
Add to batch: The Add to batch button allows you to run several (often related) reports in a group at once, (for example, to save time you may run the batch while away from your terminal). To run a batched report:
Select the report you want to run, and fill in the relevant selection criteria, if any are required. If the report is available to be batched on, there is a button labelled Add to batch, which must be clicked to bring up a window prompting you to enter a Report Group. There is no search facility here but if you type in an entry that does not already exist, it is created there and then, and if the entry does already exist, it is added to the report group. There is also a drop-down menu
that allows you to set the priority required to execute the report.
When a report has been added to a group, the running of the batch can take place. This actually takes place by selecting the Report Generator menu option, and then selecting the Batched reports option. Consequently you can select the report group required (Batch Identifier) via the drop-down menu
, and this displays all the reports in the selected group. At this point you can also Amend the selection criteria of a report, Exclude it from the group at this time, or Remove it from the group completely. Alternatively, you can Run batch, Exit altogether, or access on-line Help.
