Enter Supplier Payment Information

Explanation

Use this activity to enter general information about supplier payments. Values for cash account and cash currency should be stated. General information to be entered includes payment date, voucher date, user group, voucher type, cash currency, and amount. If bank fee is debited, details of payment fees are entered. You can enter payment currencies other than the company's accounting currency and exchange rates other than proposed. Details, such as date and user group, are also handled in this activity.

The bank fee can be entered in the payment and accounting currencies if the two are different. In IFS/Accounting Rules/Posting Rules/Posting Control, you can enter how the company’s bank fees are to be automatically posted. The same posting rule is used for the bank fee in both currencies if they differ.

Before you start entering payments, check that the actual cash account exists in the system.
