Run Proposed Payments - Purchase Ledger

This is the first stage of the automatic payment procedures. In this stage transactions are analysed to see if payment is now due, and if so they are marked with a "P” in the status flag. Transactions which are flagged with anything other than "P” are ignored by this procedure. Transactions which are already marked with "P”, however, are reconsidered and the "P” status cleared if the transaction is not now due for payment.

Selective Accounts

or Account Code

You can choose to run the procedures against all accounts, individual accounts, or selective accounts.Responding ‘Y’ to the prompt for selective accounts will display the standard selection criteria screen.

Proposed Payment Date

Enter here the date of the proposed payment run. The proposed payment date allows the system to control whether settlement discount is due or not (the payment date being on/earlier than the settlement expiry date).

Include Invoices Up To Due/Settlement Date

Enter here the due date up to which transactions are to be marked as ‘P-to-Pay’.

You are now asked if you wish to proceed. If you reply No you are returned to the Allocation Actions menu. If you reply Yes, then processing starts - for each account the transactions are analysed and those which are shown to be due are marked. A commentary displays as the processes progresses, including the total value of payments proposed by this run, together with the value of any settlement discounts available. At the end you return to the Allocation Actions menu
