Why did more than one check print for a vendor in Accounts Payable?
Description
Cause

This may be caused by one or more of the following:

  • Vendor is set to print One invoice per payment.
  • Payment printing order is set to Job and the invoices/distributions are for different jobs.
  • Payment printing order is set to a GL prefix level and the invoices/distributions are for different prefixes.
  • There are different Joint Payees on the invoices/distributions.
  • The Bank account use method is set to Operator specifies for entire check run and Print using MICR encoding is selected.
  • There are different bank accounts assigned to the invoice distributions.
