Payments

Eclipse records externally authorized vendor payments through two surfaces:

Single bill payment — record a payment from a bill’s detail page when you’re paying that one bill.
Payment Runs — bundle several open bills into an approval and recording workflow that posts each payment’s ledger movement and updates each bill.

Both flows post through the same ledger service, so the GL outcome is consistent. Choose payment runs after authorizing multiple checks, ACH payments, or wires outside Eclipse. Eclipse records the accounting result; it does not transmit funds or create a bank payment batch.

The Pay Bills workspace also shows an AP readiness panel and lifecycle guide. It calls out bills waiting for review, coding/extraction gaps, draft or approved payment runs, approved bills ready to pay, vendor payments that still need ledger or bank-match evidence, vendors missing payment info, pending vendor approvals, and W-9 follow-up before you start a payment cycle. The Payment queue names approved bills that should be paid next, Scheduled payments names draft and approved payment runs by run date, the Vendor blockers list names vendors that need payment details, approval, or W-9 follow-up, vendor detail summarizes payment method, open bills, W-9 status, and statement access, and bill rows plus bill detail show source, extraction, coding, approval, ledger-posting, payment, audit timestamp, journal-entry trace evidence, and AP recommendation controls for source document visibility, extraction confidence, human approval, and ledger guardrails before you record cash movement.
