AR503


AR503 - Payment Conversion

**Form Purpose
Run Payment Conversion (AR503) to import payment records to the Lawson
Accounts  Receivable system from a file created by an external source. This
differs from AR570 (Lock Box Interface) and AR580 (Payment Interface).

**Processing Effect
AR503 (Payment Conversion) adds existing payments that have updated balances
and the General Ledger in the external source. AR570 (Lock Box Interface) and
AR580 (Payment Interface) add new payments. The Update Option is used to edit
only or edit and update the payment records. The program edits the external
data to protect the integrity of the Accounts Receivable data.

The program creates a report in payment number order that includes each field
that failed an edit, the field data, a description of the error, and totals
for the number of records processed, payments added, and total errors.
