AP160 - Payment Tape Creation

Run AP160 (Payment Tape Creation) to create a payment tape in the ACH
(Automated Clearing House) BACS (Bankers Automated Clearing System), or French
ETEBAC format to pay invoices scheduled by the most recent run of AP150 (Cash
Requirements) with Yes in the Update field. Use the Main form tab to define
required parameters  for the program. Use the Sort Options form tab to define
options used to  restrict which invoices are scheduled for payment.

AP160 creates a payment tape for invoices assigned payment codes defined for
tape record output on CB00.5 (Cash Payment Formats). The cash code and payment
code combination assigned to  the invoices determine the cash payment format
and remittance options. Cash  codes, payment codes, and cash payment formats
are defined in the Lawson Cash  Ledger system. If AP160 does not create a
payment tape, review the cash  payment  Transaction Code output options and
Cash Payment Format options  defined in  Cash Ledger.

Run AP160 for each cash code processed by AP150 (Cash Requirements). Along
with creating a payment tape, AP160 creates a message report indicating the
completion status of the program. You must run AP170 (Payment Closing) to
close the payment cycle before you can run AP150 again.

Each time you create a payment tape, the system assigns a serial number to the
tape. If you need to recreate a payment tape, use the Rerun Options form tab
to define rerun options. Select Yes in the Recreate Tape field and type the
Serial Number of the tape you want to recreate.
