. Examples of payment documents are checks or electronic payments. You must create at least one payment document before you can use a bank account to create invoice payments. You can create an unlimited number of payment documents for an internal bank account.

When you define payment documents, you can only select payment formats that use the same currency as the bank account currency. If the bank account is a multiple currency bank account, you can choose foreign currency payment formats or multiple currency payment formats.

To define a payment document:

1. In the Bank Accounts window, query a disbursement bank account. Choose the Payables Documents button to navigate to the Payment Documents window.

2. Enter a name for the payment document that is unique for the bank account. Select a Disbursement Type and Payment Format. Enter in the Last Document Number field the last payment document number you used on a payment document. In the Last Available Document Number field, enter the last payment document number available for a payment document.

2.2 In the Additional Information region, enter the number of Setup  Checks you want Payables to print at the beginning of each automatic payment batch.
If you are using the sequential numbering feature, optionally assign a Document Category.

If you are using the Automatic Bank Transmission feature to automatically transmit this payment document, then in the
Additional Information tabbed region, select a transmission code.

2.3 If you have enabled Oracle Cash Management integration for reconciliation, optionally override the GL Accounts in the GL Accounts region.

2.4 If you want to use the payment document for future dated payments, then in the Future Dated payments tabbed region, set the Future Date Use option to either Allowed or Mandatory. If you use the future dated payment account from the payment document rather than the supplier site, then enter the account.

Payment Document Restrictions:
DOCUMENT NUMBERS: You cannot define a document number more than once for the same bank account. For example, if a payment document uses document numbers 0 – 1000, then other payment document numbers you define for the same bank account cannot use any numbers in that range
