Hi All,
Is there a way to make journal entries visible on the EFT bill payment processing page, when the accounts payable side is in Debit on a journal? (It appears when A/P account is in credit but not when in debit). Thank you

It’s not possible only if the AP is in credit
which makes sense because an electronic payment is used only to pay

Thank you for your reply, Mb! Is there a way then to track what has been paid in advance if using a prepayment feature?
As the Prepayment will be accounted for other current asset and when Finance is doing their payment run via EFT they will only see bills sitting on the A/P account, but how do they know that a prepayment has been already paid to a vendor?

You can use create vendor prepayment and pay this by EFT
Then after that you need to apply a vendor prepayment to the vendor bill

if the prepayment has been applied to a vendor bill, only the balance to be paid will be available on the bill payment processing page

Tested with the EFT and it worked👍 The only issue is that quite often supplier bills arrive weeks after the prepayment was made. And then they could be mistakenly paid via EFT on the payment run..

why don't you set up approval on EFT payment batch ?
a person will normally select the bills but no payment file will be generated if the batch approver does not validate. The approver will be able to check if prepayments have not already been made for suppliers and then block payment
