When accepting the remittance run, which sequence correctly describes the outcome?

When you accept the remittance run, you finalize the batch by applying the payments to the correct patient accounts, which posts the payments to the ledgers and updates balances. The run is then removed from the Remittance Run Selection, meaning it’s no longer in the active queue, and the remittance file is archived for future reference and audit purposes. Finally, any locks on the related invoices are released so those invoices can be updated or moved forward. This combination ensures the remittance is fully processed, traceable, and the system is ready for subsequent steps. Posting payments alone would update accounts but leave the run active and unarchived, so nothing would indicate it’s complete. Releasing invoice locks alone wouldn’t post payments or archive the file. Archiving alone wouldn’t post payments or clear the run from the selection.
