                               Pay Group

The Pay Group file contains pay group records which are defined and
maintained in AP01.1 (Payment Group). A pay group lets you create a single
payment for a vendor to pay invoices received by multiple Accounts Payable
companies and process levels. A pay group is made up of one posting company
and any number of invoice companies and process levels.

All companies associated with the pay group must belong to the same vendor
group and have the same base currency. You can assign a company and all of its
process levels to the same pay group, assign each process level to a different
pay group, or group process levels under pay groups however you need to
process payments.
