Story

Suppose that the SweetLife company decided to stop using one of the payment methods for accounts payable—FEDWIRE. Acting as an administrator, you have to deactivate this payment method in the system.

Process Overview

You deactivate a payment method on the Payment Methods (CA204000) form, to make it unavailable for selection for new documents on entry forms.

Step: Deactivating a Payment Method

To deactivate a payment method, do the following:

  1. Open the Payment Methods (CA204000) form.
  2. In the Payment Method ID box, select FEDWIRE.
  3. In the Summary area, clear the Active check box.
  4. On the form toolbar, click Save to save your changes.

In a production environment, after you have deactivated a payment method, you can process documents that use this payment method on the Release Payments (AP505300) form.
