Print Payment Journal

With the Print Payment Journal function, you can print a report to balance the posted payments with the electronic remit, without having to exit the ERA menu. This report is also called the posted payments journal and can be accessed from the Transaction Journals menu located on either the Reports or the Transactions menus. You should select to print it in payment code order so the report will only contain the payments from the remit and make it easier to balance.
