You can assign a system-defined payment type, such as Check, Electronic Payment, or Promissory note, to any user-defined methods of payment. Payment types are useful for validating electronic payments. For more information, see About payment types.

You can assign a payment type to a payment method at any time, although payments that you have already made using that method are not affected.

1. Click Accounts payable> Setup> Payment> Methods of payment .

2. Select a payment method to assign a payment type to.

3. In the Payment typefield, select the payment type to assign to this method.
