Some payments require an additional phase before they can be recorded as settled from an accounting viewpoint: draft management posting. This phase is defined during the parameterization of the payment transactions.

This process is thus used to generate draft management postings.

Presentation

The draft management posting processing of payments can be carried out:

  • Individually: via the use of the Post button in payment entry (if the entered payment transaction is parameterized with "draft management posting" as a payment posting phase).
  • Globally: using the processing that is specific to it. Selection criteria are used to define all the payments to be posted to draft management. The selection criteria are as follows:
Company

The payments to be posted to draft management for all the companies can be processed. It is also possible to limit the selection to the payments of only one company (uncheck the option "All companies").

Site

A selection can be performed on a site: Only the payments recorded on this site are dealt with.

Entry batch

The entry can be limited to a specific entry batch or concern those payments that have not been associated with an entry batch (deactivated flag, no number entered).

Payment transaction

Since all the payments are organized and sorted by payment transaction, it is possible to limit the selection of the payments to be processed to a single payment transaction.

User

The selection can take place at user level. Only those payments that are recorded by the specified user are taken into account.

Currency group/Currency

It is possible to perform a selection for a currency group or a particular transaction currency. Only those payments recorded in the selected currency(ies) are proposed.

Date

The selection can be defined for a limit accounting date.

Entry generation

This option is used to define whether the processing is a simulation or if the entries are posted to the journal of the "drafts to be received" or of the "drafts to be paid".

Log file

This option is used to generate a log file indicating the numbers of payments processed.
