The Pay Bills feature helps you view and pay multiple vendor bills at one interface. Pay Bills is located in the Purchases and Disbursements module.

Pay Bills in the Purchases Module

You can create a list of purchases in the Purchases module list view, then pay them all using the Pay Bills action.

1. From the Main Menu, go to Accts Payable > Purchases. 
2. Use the Quick Search bar to locate the records requiring payment.
   You can also use the list view sorting features to locate the necessary records.
3. Select Actions > Pay Bills.
   aACE will automatically populate the records in your list into the Pay Bills section.
   
4. Enter the Payment amount for each bill, or select the Apply icon () for the full payment.
   You can also enter adjustments (e.g. discounts taken), if applicable.
5. In the General Info section, review the Date and the Bank Account.
6. Select Yes.
   To save the payments without creating a disbursement, select No. You can return later for final processing.
7. Select Post. 
8. Select OK.
9. If you are printing a check, enter the number of the first check in the stack that you load into your printer.
   
10. Continue with printing the checks. 

After printing the checks, aACE automatically updates the Check Status to Printed and notes the check number for each disbursement item.
