Assigning a payment by vendor Checkbook ID is most useful when you want to pay a certain type of vendor from a particular checkbook.

Example:

  • You are paying grants, and the grant vendors can only be paid by the grant checkbook and not your operating checkbook.

Once a checkbook has been assigned to a vendor, you can build check batches using the Assign by Checkbooks feature in the Build Payment Batch (Select Payables Checks) window. The Assign by Checkbooks feature cannot be used with the Edit Payment Batch (Edit Payables Checks) functionality.
