Descriptions

Batch code

Credit card account

Enter the credit card account code, or double-click on this field or press F4 to select from a list of available credit card accounts.

If multiple cards are available for the selected credit card account code, you must select the Card # as well.

Note: Spectrum does not permit bank accounts in this field. Payments from this screen must be made from a credit card account.

Cost Center Information

If cost centers are being used and the Cash Management module is present, Spectrum allows entry of a credit account code only if you have permission to assign that code. Spectrum compares the credit card account's list of shared cost centers with cost centers in your operator's assigned cost center scheme, and if there are no common cost centers, then that credit card account cannot be assigned.

Transaction #

The transaction # defaults to the next available #, but can be overwritten.

Vendor

Enter a valid vendor code previously set up in the Vendors screen.

Cost center

This field only displays if cost centers/cost groups are enabled for the current company.

Enter a cost center or double-click to select from a list of available cost centers/cost groups. This cost center will appear on the Manual Check Register, and will be recorded in during the General Ledger during the Payments G/L update. This cost center will also be stored in Account Payable payment history records and in Cash Management, if present.

Transaction date

Enter the credit card transaction date. The transaction date determines the General Ledger fiscal period.

Transaction amount

Enter the transaction amount for this payment.

Undistributed balance

Balance information is calculated and maintained by the software. Initially, the balance will equal the credit card payment amount.
