# Add Batch Payments

Batch payments allow you to process multiple vendor payments at once. This helps streamline the payment process, reduce manual work, and ensure accounts payable payments are completed efficiently.

Batch payments are typically used when paying several approved bills in a single workflow.

To create a batch payment:

1. Select **+ New** from the top navigation.
2. Choose **Batch Payments**.
3. **In Type**, choose how you want to view and select what you owe:
   * **By Due Date**: Select this option and use the calendar to choose a due date. Bills due on or before the selected date are displayed.
   * **By Job**: Select this option and use the dropdown list to choose a specific job. Bills associated with the selected job are displayed.
4. Select **Next** to continue to Bills.
5. **In Bills**, review the list of available bills and select the checkboxes next to the bills you want to include in the batch.
6. Select **Next** to continue.
7. **In Vendor Credit**, apply any available vendor credits if applicable.
8. Select **Next** to continue.
9. **In Details**, review the payment information, select the **From Account**, and complete any remaining required fields.
10. Select **Save** to finalize the batch payment.<br>
