Use this wizard if you have received a large number of payments and wish to enter then into the system all at once. For example, if many customers send checks to renew their dues within a few weeks of each other, this wizard would be useful. Launch this wizard from the List View of all payments, not from a single payment record.

5. The system will check for errors and provide you with the option to continue or stop the process.
If an order can't be found or you are trying to enter a larger payment than the balance of the order, or anything else is wrong with the entry you will be notified before proceeding.
Once the records are correct you can submit and the system will generate the payment records and apply them to the orders.
