2. In the Payment Type window, click Add.

   

3. Fill in the required fields:

   

   Code	Enter a unique identifier code for the payment type. This code is used in multiple areas of EPASS to identify the payment type, including on reports.

   G/L Account	Select the G/L account to link this payment type to.

4. In the Payment Processing area, select EPASS PAY - Pre-Auth from the Type dropdown.
