Accounts Payable

AP Payment and Apply Import

Import manual AP payments from CSV and apply them to open invoices in Dynamics GP.

Windows desktop application · Version 3.9 · Dynamics GP 2016 through 18.x

Importing AP manual payments and applying them to open invoices is one of the most repetitive jobs in Dynamics GP accounts payable. AP Payment and Apply Import turns that work into a file import.

Prepare your payments and applications as CSV files, set a few options, and the application creates the manual payments in Dynamics GP and applies them to the open vouchers — across multiple company databases, in one step or two.

The challenge

Entering AP manual payments into Dynamics GP and applying each one to the right open vouchers is slow and error-prone, especially at high volume or across several company databases. A lockbox file, a third-party payment system, or a spreadsheet of payments can turn into hundreds of manual transactions.

How AP Payment and Apply Import helps

AP Payment and Apply Import reads your payment and application data from CSV files, creates the PM manual payments in Dynamics GP, and applies them to the open vouchers — together in one step or as two separate steps. It works across multiple GP company databases, supports several payment methods, and can split a large import into multiple batches by batch size.

Benefits

Work across multiple companies

Import into multiple GP company databases by reading a database field in the data file.

Control your batches

Support Multi-Entity Management

Works with Binary Stream Multi-Entity Management (MEM) for manual payments and applications.

Features

How it works in detail

CSV import for payments and applications

Reads comma separated value files for both the manual payments and the applications. Import them together or separately.

Payments or credit memos

Imports either manual payments or credit memos in a single import process.

Batch control and splitting

Specify the payment batch ID, and split the import into multiple batches automatically based on a batch size.

Built on eConnect

Uses Microsoft Dynamics GP eConnect to create the transactions, so imported payments follow standard Dynamics GP validation.

  2. Set the import options

    In the application, choose the company, payment method, and batch ID, and set the batch size if you want to split the import.
