The Supplier Payment process facilitates entering manual check payments and supplier payments through various payment institutes using mixed payment.
Only authorized invoices can be paid. You can either specify the invoice or invoices to be paid or use the Select Batch function to get a general idea of which supplier invoices pre prepayments can be selected for payment.
Offsets between debit and credit invoices can be entered at the same time as the payments. These can be offsets between debit invoices and credit invoices, between invoices and payments on account or between invoices and payments in advance. You can also process invoices that have been placed as parked payments and enter these as paid.
When you enter the payment, a voucher is generated automatically to the hold table in IFS/Accounting Rules. The voucher is updated to the general ledger in connection with the next update.
When a payment is matched with a supplier invoice, the tax
amount in the invoice will be posted to the code strings defined for the
following posting types.
When a payment in advance is entered and matched with an advance invoice, the tax amount included in the advance invoice will be posted to the code strings defined for the following posting types.
Manually entered supplier payments are considered as cashed at entry and are therefore not placed on interim account. Once the invoices are matched with the payment, the payment and the matched invoices will be assigned with a unique ID and a matching date. This matching ID will be shown with both invoices and payments in the relevant queries and reports which will make you easily identify what payments are connected to which invoices.
If payment cancellation is needed there are functions for undoing a whole payment or part of a payment. Undoing means posting invoices and prepayments as unpaid. When cancellation takes place a voucher is generated reversing earlier postings.This can be achieved through cancel and cancel matching in mixed payment.
The functionality of mixed payment is enhanced by supporting segregation of duties. This is supported by controlling the transaction types per user groups. If mixed payment transaction types are required to be selected based on cash account and user group, a new user group can be added in this window.
Before you start entering information check that Basic Data Required (BDR) has been set up as per instructions in Define Financials Basics, the Set up Basic Data Accounts Payable process.
