This series of introductory articles will cover the important aspects of managing 835 Postings with Fusion Enterprise.
Associating the 835 to a Payment
Once an 835 is loaded into the system, you will see it displayed in the grid with a status icon that looks like a red circle with a dollar sign in it. ( 
) This indicates that the 835 has been loaded but is not associated to any money in the system.
There are two options to associate this payment with an 835. Either you can associate it to a payment that has already been posted into the system, or you can direct Fusion Enterprise to post a payment and associate it in a single step.
Right-clicking on the grid displays the following menu:

Once the 835 has been associated with a payment, the icon will change to a green circle ( 
). At this point, the 835 is ready to be applied.
