When you click OK to close the message, the program creates the payment plan and the bill, updates the value in the Bill Number box with the number of the new bill, and changes the status of the payment plan to Active.
- If the Transfer Bill GL Balances to Payment Plan GL Balances checkbox is selected in the Payment Plan Settings program, which directs the payment plan process to transfer general ledger balances on bills to the payment plan general ledger balances, the program displays the Process Payment Plan screen, which you must complete to create the payment plan and bill.
