GL Payments:
Use the general ledger payments to directly pay a creditor thus bypassing the creditor and purchasing system.
Future payments maybe entered by entering a future period. These payments will be posted to the general ledger when the period entered matches the current period during posting batches.
The transaction period is automatically entered as is the current period.
The type for a payment is type "P"
