RE: JBA ML - Miscellaneous Vendors

Yes, they do.  The miscellaneous vendor is set up in cash management (/CSM)

The check is not an AP check and has no AP history.  All the info resides in
Cash Management.  Also, the check writing program is not the same one used
for AP.  If you have a specific check format, you'll have to modify the cash
management program.

By the way, just a word of caution.  In the US it is against IRS rules to
issue bonus checks to employees via AP if you do not withhold Federal W/H
Tax at 25% (last I knew when I worked with payroll systems) as well as
Social Security, Medicare, state, local, etc.  The bonus amount must be
reflected in their W-2s.
