Miscellaneous prerequisites

Miscellaneous tables

The following miscellaneous tables are used by the function. They must be populated if necessary :

  Miscellaneous table number 3 : Unpaid reason

  Miscellaneous table number 313 : SEPA - Payment nature

Payment transaction

The payment transaction is a grouping key of the payments based on the sense of these payments and their payment mode (miscellaneous table no. 3: Checks, Drafts, Transfers, etc.).

For a payment transaction, x linked payment modes are defined. These links are used to match the open items on the invoice posted upon payment transaction (see the documentation Payment conditions ).

The set up of these payment transactions (see the documentation Payment transactions) makes it possible to define:

• The payment entry screens, the mandatory fields (e.g.: entry of Bank Yes/No; mandatory Yes/No)
• The posting and grouping steps. For example, this is the level at which it is determined whether the payment transaction will be managed as an automatic payment proposal.

Whatever the payment transaction, when a payment is automatically generated through the automatic proposal, it is included in an entry batch. This facilitates the transaction tracking and management and also corresponds to a milestone for selection during the management of the next phases.
Depending on the payment transaction setup, the batch number and content can be displayed and adjusted.
It is possible to integrate the user code to the counter using the Complement field.

Bank account/Bank allocations

For each company, and possibly for each site, it is necessary to define the linked bank(s) (refer to the documentation on Bank account and Bank allocations).
