Payment runs help organize multiple approved vendor bills into a controlled batch. Use them to review what will be paid, when, and by whom before any money movement is confirmed.

What this guide helps you do

• Create a payment run from approved unpaid bills.
• Review vendors, amounts, due dates, and payment dates.
• Use AI to prepare candidate runs without submitting them automatically.

Before you start

• Bills should be approved and unpaid.
• Vendor payment details should be current.
• Know the intended payment date and approval process for the run.

Do it manually

1. Open Money and choose Pay Bills.
2. Review approved unpaid bills.
3. Open payment runs and create a new run.
4. Select bills and vendors for the run.
5. Set the scheduled payment date and review totals.
6. Submit, approve, cancel, or hold the run according to your process.

Ask Faster AI

• Prepare a payment run candidate list for approved bills due this week and show totals by vendor.
• Find bills that should be excluded from the next payment run because they are disputed or missing vendor details.
• Review this payment run and flag unusual amounts before I submit it.

Review before saving, sending, paying, or refunding

• Confirm every bill in the run is approved and should be paid.
• Check vendor destinations, amounts, currency, and scheduled date.
• Do not submit a payment run if disputed bills or duplicate bills are included.

Common issues and fixes

• If a bill is missing from candidates, check approval and payment status.
• If a vendor has no active payment details, hold that bill until fixed.
• If a run was created incorrectly, cancel or revise it before approval.

Use it in daily operations

• Before closing the task, review the related Money record, customer record, owner, due date, and any follow-up message that should happen next.
• If the workflow affects a real payment, keep the action in review until the amount, recipient, invoice, quote, or bill details are confirmed.
• Use Faster AI to summarize the payment context and prepare a checklist, but approve sends, refunds, bill payments, and customer-facing messages manually.
