Create Payment Order  

Explanation

This activity is used to create a payment order from an acknowledged payment proposal. The payment order contains output data on file or other media, depending on the selected payment method and its related payment format. Payment advice per supplier can be printed depending on the setup in the supplier's side. It is also possible to send a payment advice directly to a AP supplier contact of the respective supplier when printing payment advice. The payment advice will be sent to supplier based on the output media connected to AP supplier contact. Email, Mail to Fax, XML and Printout are the output media supported for payment advice.
